Ebay is a great resource to find all sorts of things. The problem is that everyone has access to it. So how do you spot the cheap finds? I'll tell you how.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    First figure out what exactly it is that you are looking for. The idea with this article is that you want to find every possible auction that is selling what you want. Because there are so many auctions, it is hard to find the ones you want so people try to get very specific in their search. The problem with doing this is that the more specific you get, the more you are excluding. And sometimes the ones that are excluded could be something you want.

  2. Step 2

    What you can do is look for auctions using their browse feature and look at each individual option in the general category. Obviously if what you want falls in a broad category, this will take forever.

  3. Step 3

    This next step is what will really help you out. Sites exist to help you find auctions where there are typos. When there are typos in the title or description, you won't find these auctions when you search for them. What is good about this is that no one else will find these either.

    www.typobay.com
    www.typobuddy.com

    are some websites that create variations of the keywords you search for and find similar words that may have been misspelled.

  4. Step 4

    All you have to do now is bid and enjoy your finds at cheaper prices!
