    Instead of the current treasure hunt, why not make it a trivia, skills testing question, with all successful respondents who found the hidden question and answered correctly will have their name entered into a random draw. The name drawn then has 24 hours to complete the purchase. As it is right now, the only potential beneficiaries are the guys with no job and fast Internet connections, not necessarily loyal, long-term Marstar customers.

    Can't we be both?

    But in all seriousness, people would then complain about how easy it is to google an answer and that the draw isn't fair either. I agree that the timing may be off, but you also can't please everyone.

    We could have jobs. we might just be on holidays or be shift workers.

    I enjoyed myself and i assumed that the they would be hiding the gun in a section to boost views therein and potential sales.

    I was being facetious guys! But jeez, must've struck a nerve or two! Sorry! Thin-skinned treasure hunters aside, when the "hunts" are over in 10-15 minutes, only a handful of Marstar customers will get to participate in the fun. My suggestion would bring more eyes to their site, while allowing everyone the same opportunity to "win". What's wrong with a level playing field?
