The typo goldmine - find eBay bargains!

Hey guys,

I'm new here... loving the forums. Anyway, just thought I'd post a link to http://www.typosnipe.com. I came across it the other day and it's a nice little tool the find misspelled items on ebay. you just type it in and click on the link and ur away

Just my 2 cents I guess... I really love this thing. Try searching for things like "memory" and "hard drive" and u can usually find something worthwhile

Personally, if they can't spell the item right, I don't know that I trust them to send it right...

But, I might give it a try sometime if I find a good deal on something, thanks for the link.

I don't know.... I could come up with many examples of typos and I'm sure you would respect the people as well. I'm not going to dig any up though as I am not about to insult somebody to prove a point. Just because somebody is lacking the education to spell something correctly doesn't mean they are completely stupid, they just might be one of the most intelligent people you have ever met.

Actually, guys, I can give you a good example:

A Keilwerth saxophone is spelled with the e, but anybody unfamiliar with the name would spell it the more "correct" way, Keilworth. When's the last time you saw an item with the suffix -werth? :P
