We have TWO contests.


Trivia Contest

The Secret Word

During one of the subsequent phone segments, a quacking duck will be heard on air. This is your cue to call in with this week's secret word.

What's this week's secret word? Simple. Carefully scan through today's Tuesday eBay Radio Group announcement. How will you know which word out of the hundreds in this email is the secret word?

Relax. It won't be difficult. I promise! Just keep reading from the top of this email...

You will find it. (Watch out for the red herrings or repeats!)

Then listen to the show for the sound cue (hint: it might sound something like: "...quack...quack...quack..." You have to wait for the cue! Don't blurt out the secret word before the sound cue!)


Remember, in order to play, you must be subscribed to the eBay Radio eBay Group and you must be listening to eBay Radio on Tuesday and you MUST call in (no email entries accepted!)

See you on the radio!

Your host,
Griff
