    eBid should have run with this within hours of the programme.

    Create a eBid username for the bad guy (whatever his name was on TV).
    Create toys for sale that are searchable and in line with the story under that username.

    If anyone clicks on the toy listings they get a pop up message that the user has been suspended for suspicious activity by the eBid Super Security Team. They are assisting the FBI who are investigating this villain who featured in Toy Story of Terror. That is an example - the message would have to fit in with the story line.

    Get in touch with the programme makers and tell them what has been done - thanking them for highlighting a villain on eBid and will be sending them eBid goodies as a reward.

    If you get third party publicity like 'Toy Story of Terror' - you need to grab hold of it and make it work for you. These are the situations that can be turned around as a positive for eBid, not to mention a lot of fun. When done properly and quickly it would stand a decent chance of going viral.
    They have taken your suggestion deanosaur1972 and run with it.

    Location needs to be:

    Sleepwell Motel, United States.


    The items stolen were the Toy Story Characters - so Mr Potato Head, Woody etc..... (Ok I now see a Woody listing)

    Ideally there should be a series of questions on the listing from the girl who owns the toys (can't remember her name - Gracie??) with comments like "you have stolen my toys" - and replies by Iguanalover75 - this builds up the story. The actual Woody auction on TV was bid up to $2,000 dollars so it would be nice to get higher than that.

    The picture on the all about me page needs to be relative to the story line - so any picture of a motel with a super imposed 'Sleepwell Motel' at the very least. Whilst the eBid username was iguanalover75, the actual name of the villain is Ron the Manager (as astral pointed out earlier) so this would need to be on the all about page and within the listing. Some sort of introduction of him as the manager of the motel and that he has various toys to sell that have come into his possession.

    At the moment I am the winning bidder on Woody - does that make me an accessory after the fact?

    Any chance of using this on the all about me page:

    Hello and happy Halloween

    My name is Ron, people call me Ron the Manager. I have never figured out why people call me that?

    Anyway, so I manage a motel called the Sleepwell Inn and in my spare time I like selling toys.

    The motel keeps me fairly busy - we get a lot of families that stay here as they travel on vacation. We are the only motel in the States that give a really big family discount - the discount is based on the amount of toys the kids have, so the more toys equals more savings for the family on the room rate.

    I hope you like my listings - there will be a lot of toys.

    So happy bidding and don't forget that families are always welcome to stay at the Sleepwell Inn - don't forget to bring plenty of your toys.

    Toys come alive at the Sleepwell Inn - that isn't a 'Tall Story' but it might be a 'Toy Story'
