Find great deals on eBay by bidding on misspelled items
eBay, a popular site for auctions, is already a hot destination for buyers to find great deals on items they would like to purchase. Want to go a step further and find even sweeter deals? Read on.
There are a huge number of listings on eBay that are misspelled. Now, because of the incorrect spellings, say ‘iLod’ for ‘iPod’, these items would have found very few hits because most people would be searching for ‘iPod’ and not ‘iLod’. Consequently the bidding prices on these items too would be very low. Thus, if you could find these misspelled items you could find a big treasure of low-priced goods.
This is where Typotrawler helps. Typotrawler, a new venture, constantly scourges the listings on eBay to find out auctions that are misspelled. A person visiting the Typotrawler website is then presented with Typotrawler’s findings. These findings can also be narrowed down by the user according to category of items.
Now, these prices are mostly low and you could make a fortune bidding on misspelled items. Users could also make use of the Thumbs up and Thumbs down icons to let Typotrawler know if the misspelled item is indeed misspelled or the Typotrawler robots have made a mistake thus building upon the accuracy of the results.
From what I saw, the results are accurate and the prices are low. So the next time you shop on eBay be sure to check out Typotrawler. Or you could even try making money buying things a low prices and selling them at higher ones.
Whatever you do, make sure you check and recheck your spellings when you are listing your own items on eBay or Typotrawler users could rip you off!
