Just an idea.

Anyway, great fun and thanks again.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the suggestion. It's given us something to think about and we may try a little twist on the hunt next year.

So glad you had fun. You found one that we thought might be a little tricky and you did it so quickly. Very impressive.

Joe, that would take away some of the fun and spontainity and cause some problems.

Like in the first hour I found most of the lower range eggs (say below $75) but decided to chance it and continue looking for a big one. Those eggs popped up slowely, and some big ones went out as well. It made me a wee bit nervous, but I decided to risk it.

With your idea, everybody would hold off on registering their egg. Just save the location and keep looking. Then, suddenly, after the first egg, you would get a flood of them, like in an auction. Biggest price first all the early birds would have the biggest chance.

They way FQ does it now, it does not matter which strategy you follow, because the cheap and expensive ones are seemingly random distributed across forum threads, fixed FQ site pages (like knowledgebase and service) and sites of associates. So each of us has a fair chance of finding the big ones or being satisfied with cheap ones.
