This is our First Treasure Hunt, Hopefully all goes smoothly.

Here's what you get for $10 including shipping. - We have TEN (10x) of the the following treasure packs :

Treasure Pack includes ALL of the following - (10 packs to be found) :

1x GE Smarthome Wireless Motion Sensor.
1x GE Smarthome Door Stop Alarm.
1x GE Smarthome KeySafe.
1x GE Smarthome Personal Security Alarm.
1x GE Smarthome UltraSonic Parking Sensor.
1x GE SmartHome Alarm / Thermometer.

All up $89 Jungle Jumble Value, anywhere else, you could pay upwards of $200 for all these items.

Links to the "treasure" packs have been hidden among the product description text on our website. All you have to do is find the links and check out quick smart before someone else does. Obviously only one customer can buy each treasure pack. If you find a treasure pack and can't add it to your cart - you miss out - too late - someone else got it first.

All treasure found.

Good luck.

Just to clarify, the links a HIDDEN. They appear ALMOST as normal text. The links could be found on any product on our website. - Fortunately we don't have that many products.

mod - amended title to clarify there are 10 packs only

    Hmmm only 10 packs available; the quantity seems a bit low for a front page deal.

    As it's a grey area I'll have to raise it with the other mods; but in the mean time I'm happy to leave it here, with mention in the title that it's only 10 packs though, so people can have some fun hunting if they want to.

    Sorry guys. Working on the issue now. I'm going to pull the promotion to prevent our server from being further strapped. To those who have posted a link or found some treasure, please email me your details, I'll confirm and send a Paypal request for the $10.

    Once again, this promo has been pulled, those who found some treasure and couldn't check out, please email me.

      i kinda agree… i ended up finding one but the check-out process didnt work. i understand there was server load issues but overall this offer was kinda poorly executed. removed my positive vote too. better luck next time jungle jumble… good idea in concept but poor execution let you down

    Just received an email titled "Treasure Hunt, second chance." what does this mean when your PayPal payment went through? I also took a screen capture of the "review order" page it stuck on with all the details of my find.

    What next?, was I successful will I receive the goods?, or will I be refunded my money?

    • cheapsk8 on 23/07/2010 - 16:28

      Nice handle ;)

      I'm wondering the same thing.
      I have a PayPal receipt from the original hunt (as it went though ok on an unclaimed prize), but no confirmation email yet (I didn't get any second chance email).

  • Fixit on 23/07/2010 - 16:37

    I found oneMine went thru to paypal but got stuck at paypal page then got an email saying I was 1 of only 8 for the 2 that were left, spent another 30 mins befor relising that they had allready gone…rather annoyed now, it was a crappy way of resolving what was in fact a problem with there server

    I have already sent confirmation to ALL orders that went through. To put it simply if your Paypal account was charged, you GOT ONE.

    Our Paypal account shows 10 x orders for $10. 1 (correction) 2 lucky customers got 2 treasures each.

    I will re-send ALL confirmations again for those who missed it the first time.

    • cheapsk8 on 23/07/2010 - 17:05

      Probably just my dodgy email being slow…

      I'll only stress if I end up out of pocket and don't get anything (but PayPal is good at sorting that out anyway).

      Otherwise it was a good treasure hunt and props to junglejumble for a very cool and relatively painless comp (considering the amount of bargain hunters involved ;)

          • SomeGuyOnOzB on 23/07/2010 - 19:15

            @rack: Is your paypal email address the same as the one you are checking?

            Also, if you log onto Paypal, you can at least see if you were billed. Though it's not quite the same as getting the email straight from them.

          • Store Repjunglejumble @ JungleJumble on 26/07/2010 - 15:38

            @rack: Rack, you definitely got one. For some reason, your email address is being rejected.

  • cheapsk8 on 23/07/2010 - 18:23

    rack> I did the same thing, because I haven't gotten any confirmation yet either. It just doesn't tell you anything if none of the emails are coming through yet ;)

    It shouldn't be anything to worry about if there are only 10 unique PayPal transactions and junglejumble said if your Paypal account was charged, you got one.

    I assume that as my PayPal address is correct, things should be ok.

  • Cheap Skate on 23/07/2010 - 21:37

    Well as of yet I haven't received any confirmation email confirming that I'm one of the lucky one's… Although I can confirm that my PayPal account has being debited so I assume that I shall receive my treasure in due time.

    My suggestion. I'm guessing most websites running these sort of promotions want to increase the profile of their site and want people to browse their products (raise awareness/increase likelihood of purchase). They do not gain by having a surge of random clikcing traffic killing their servers and preventing customers from making transactions.

    So how about this: Run a competition where you ask some questions about products and people have to find the answers via the product descriptions, etc. Give them 24, 48 hours (or whatever timeframe suits). Offer the prizes to the first three, then 10th, 50th, 200th, etc entrant to spread the load (or even have a diff set of questions each day over three days, etc). Entrants email in their answers or enter it via a page (I hate having to create yet another site profile/id&password combo to enter a comp when a sites just needs my email address if they want to put me on a e-mailing list). Company announces winners as they come in/are checked.

    This has to be better than a crazy online equivalent of a stocktake stampede that only disappoints many and crashes a website with little goodwill/benefit gained by the company in the process.

    • Store Repjunglejumble @ JungleJumble on 27/07/2010 - 15:38

      We are very new at this, and greatly appreciate your feedback. You have read our minds. This was something we discussed last week. The message we want to portray is that everything on our website is really cheap. The last promo was intended to get people to look at the other products on our web page. All it resulted in was a flurry of people scanning over the pages, ignoring everything, trying to find a link. Pointless, really. In terms of additional sales, I have to admit, the last promotion cost WAY more than any other we have done here - and resulted in little (if any) associated sales.

      Basically, we gave away $700+ worth of goods for nothing.

      Encouraging users to UNDERSTAND the various deals on our site is what we want to achieve.

      Your idea may very well be implemented soon. Hopefully with a better, fairer result for our customers and ourselves.

    • rack on 27/07/2010 - 22:29

      your idea is a good one but doesnt that make that a competetion which you can;t post on ozbargain. And even if you post in the forums how many of us actually go thorugh these competions. I basically visit ozbargain several times compared to the forum.

      • daydream on 27/07/2010 - 22:37

        This technically was a competition with the winners just having the right to buy. You could provide the same offer to those in my suggestion. Just send them a relevant link or code to enter in the email confirming they're a winner.
