T&D's Pickers Challenge is BACK for Season 2

Yes, it's true, the long awaited season 2 of T&D's Pickers Challenge is Back....with a couple a changes that will hopefully make it easier and more fun to participate than ever before.

So New "Rules":

1.  Enter in what ever you want to feature on the show.  It doesn't matter how much you paid, whether we've seen it or something similar to it before or if it's something totally new and different.  Make a video and tell us about it.  The entry should be a newly picked item that hasn't been listed yet that you will put up for sale for the challenge.  Auctions should end by the following Tuesday before the results show.  For example if you want a 7 day auction, your item should be listed by the same Tuesday that your video entry is due and if you want a 5 day it needs to be listed by Thursday that week and so on.

2.  To enter, your video should be set to unlisted and you should send a link to that video to us for us to use in the pickers challenge.  (Once that weeks challenge is complete you can publish the video however you want).

3.  The time frame is LONGER!  The schedule will be Week 1 challenge, Week 2 Results, Week 3 Challenge and so on.  Instead of 2 videos per week this season will be reduced to 1 video per week.  This should give you and us more time!

4.  How places/winners will be determined: places will be determined by what we refer to as "Challenge Profit".  "Challenge Profit" is simple price item sold for on ebay minus price paid for when picked.  We call it "Challenge Profit" b/c it does not take into account shipping overages or underages, ebay fees, paypal fees or listing fees  (that's just too much to keep track of). 

5.  What will I get if I participate?
Well, besides the sheer joy of playing in the game, anyone who participates gets a link to their channel on the challenge show (exposure), also winners will get props and shout outs on the results show, as well as the pride of being Top Dog for the week!  We'll also post a congrats comment on your channel!  We may occasionally throw in a prize here or there, but that will be at our discretion (we'll announce if a prize is up for grabs).

6.  Your Video entry:
Your video ideally will be 1-2 minutes long and include information about the item you picked, where you got it, how much you paid for it, why you picked it, what you know about it and how you are going to sell it.



7.  Be a Subscriber to our Channel!



These again are a general guidelines and we may need to change them as needed.

Finally,  by sending us a link to your video you are giving us permission to use that video and/or edit it for a challenge video.  We may or may not have monetary compensation from in-video ad revenue for the challenge show.  If you are not ok with that, then please do not participate.

If you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us...we can't wait to see what you bring to The Challenge!

    1. Hi Marie!
      We're so glad you want to participate! If you have the ability to put a short video together that would be best...if not then send us some pictures of your item so we can put a slide show together and tell us about the item and why you picked it etc. If you haven't seen the challenge on youtube, check it out at http://www.youtube.com/somelikeitused and subscribe to us there. We really hope to see you! ~T&D
