Title: Can I hide a listing from my vendor page but not put it in stealth
Post by: WhiteShark on May 08, 2013, 05:31 pm
So basically I want to do something a little different that I have not seen before. I want to put a listing for a free hq, and hide it in a random category.

Then whoever finds the listing (by chance) will get the free hq. Just thought it would be kind of fun.

Obviously I can't have it on my vendor page because it will defeat the purpose.

I know you can put listings in stealth but this will also remove it from the main pages where I need it to be for people to find.

Any ideas or is this thing just stupid?

You can make a stealth listing where the person would need the URL to access it, but as far as I know it's not possible to create a listing that will appear in a category but not in your listings on your vendor page. Perhaps you could create a stealth listing and start a thread where you post clues that people could use to figure out the URL.

For instance, if the URL were http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/eghd4cb967 you could release a clue for the 10 character unique item URL; for example:

"This popular children's poem character is a delicate chap and really cracks me up - what is he (3 letters)?
(First two letters of this word are the first two letters of the URL)"

Just an idea! :)

WOAH that is super smart~ jealous I didnt think of it first.

Thanks Libertas....going to give this a try in the next few days.

For everyone interested I am planning to do the following..

2 listings.....each for 3.5 grams...shipping prices would have to be paid

One will be domestic one will be international. Good luck to all!

Haha, it seems we have a clever bunch here on SR - it appears to have been solved already! :P I think if you're doing something like this in future you should perhaps release one or two clues a day - that would maintain interest and get you a better return for your $30 investment in the prize due to increased advertising.

Regarding taking part, I'll leave it to the folks who may be inclined to order from you in the future. It would be better for you if a potential customer wins. :)
