Black Friday Auctions

[squishmar]

The oodlectibles are for decorating your "collections" box. In other words, totally and completely worthless.

I've never bought any of the Catch 21 Quick Hit Cards, but they are all the same cost... 115 oodles. The prize is 1,000 oodles. You win that by buying one or more cards and hoping that one of them will add up to 21 with the two cards they reveal each weekday on GSN. For example, if you bought a "4" card, then you would want the two cards shown on-air to equal 17--because 17 + 4 (your card) = 21.

Clearer?

Won a $100 Home Depot card this morning. Spent just shy of 218,000 Oodles to get it, but I'm happy, I need to get a snowblower!

Reading all the stories about the auctions, I think I got really lucky winning a 50 dollar Fandango movie card for just 125K oodles. Again, it would have been great if GSN told me, but at least the card is coming in time for Oscar season.

Just chiming in with my win - it was 156,000 oodles for a $25 Target card.

I love the fact you can actually BID on winning 25,000 tokens. AND THE OPENING BID IS 2500 OODLES.

I think I read somewhere on here that you can earn somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 oodles per day, not counting leaderboards, who are flooded full of dubious players anyways. So basically, you have to put up a week's worth of oodles to win tokens which don't do anything at all.

[squishmar]

I guess it's a good deal for people who don't care about oodles but do buy tokens (hard to believe there are actually people who do that). Me? I wish I could trade in my worthless tokens (over 375,000 of them) for oodles!

The biggest slap in the face amidst all of these auctions during this promo, is that they actually had the (ahem) nerve to put up a buy-it-now $25.00 KeyBank card for 30,000 oodles. Basically shoving in our faces what these cards are REALLY worth. I can't believe they did that. What an insult. And of course, it was gone within 90 seconds of being put up.

Since I didn't win any auctions (I bid high, but I was only willing to go SO high), I did get the Book of the Week, which is one I've wanted for awhile now. So, I'm feeling disappointed from the auctions but also excited to receive my book.

111,000 for $100 restaurant gift card.

save another 133,333 oodlles and purchase a 500.00 gift card, or use what you have now for a 250.00 Sephora card! That is very valuable considering you cannot take your oodles with you anywhere else; are you waiting for a better promotion/deal/something costing lless oodles but worth nore money like they had in the past?

What are you referring to? What $500.00 gift card?

Am bumping this up for people to look at because of today's auctions

[gingersnap1001]

Todays gift cards must be going for a fortune! My losing bid for the $100 Amazon card was 301,000. Losing bids on $10 Target and Amazon cards were 47,000 and 63,000.

I would love to hear from a couple winners to hear what the winning bids were!

[honeybunny442]

Losing bid for $10 Amazon (ice cold with 10 min left) was 61,000

[annoyedghost]

My losing bid on the $100 Amazon card was 365,000. Remember the good ole days when the tv was 400,000-something?

[squishmar]

At least the auction fees were small. That's the only positive thing I can say. I blew 30,000 oodles in the sweeps... I don't think I won any... not 100% sure but I really don't think so.

Thanks to all for posting these stats so we can measure what is going on. It is very helpful...disheartening, but helpful.
