A little help for all you Ebay snipers, hunters, & buyers.

Everyday Items are misspelled on eBay.

Most, if not all of these items end with few or no bids!

Did you know that on eBay you can probably pick up a labtop for pretty cheap? How about getting some dimonds for a great price? These and many other items can be yours if you have a list of commonly misspelled words next to you while you shop.

The New York Times reported that there are many items listed on the auction site that sell for much less than they are really worth because the sellers don't check their listing's spelling before they post. Thus, bidders don't show up for the auctions, and savvy shoppers (and/or bad spellers) get away with a steal. eBay's official response is, "Get a dictionary," since the company has no plans to add a spell-checker to every part of the posting process.

The lack of verbal expertise leads to some great deals, though, and some people are buying low and selling high. One jeweler interviewed bought a box of watch gears (listed as "gers") for US$2 and sold them for $200.

Your welcome guys...

I've been a part of notebookforums for a while and always like to
give alittle every now and then. It's true though...This technique
already got me (3) Sony Vaio laptops for average of $65ea which I resold
for $250 a piece. Like everything else......you get what you put into it...
I'm doing it only because I want to get a dual SLI laptop or the Dell M2010.
I'm currently half way to meeting my goal.....and hope to be very close after
summer. Anyhow's.....if yall ever need help nor advice...PM me.
