Finding items with almost no bids on eBay

Hey,

Maybe you all know that trick or heard about it, or maybe this will be new to you. I just thought it would be a nice share.

I've been buying items from eBay that have typos in them for some time now. That's how I got my PS3 80Gb for $212. It was listed as a Plakstaion 3.
One of my friend recently bought some Chanel sunglasses for $20 (and yes, they're real).

Auctions with typos don't get as much attention and sometimes don't get any bids. This is your chance. I'm still hunting for a Luis Vutton bag for my wife...

yep, that's one.
But there is a lot more. They don't all work good though. But my example of Plakstaion 3 didn't come from one of these sites. I basically searched for crazy typos on my own since PS3 is a high-demand product.

I'd be careful with louis vuitton.. some sellers misspell it on purpose so that their fake bags dont get reported.

It did in France. Here, I have a Louis Vuitton item listed so it must still be allowed.

You're right about the fakes. But you guys are all experts at spotting them

Yeah, I know. I just don't consider these auctions in that case. Or maybe I'll ask the seller to provide better pics. They usually never reply so I consider them to be fake in that case.

if you want to find typos for ebay try using a keyword typo generator then take the generated typos and search it on ebay. i had tried this couple times and i found a great deal on a wii console where there were no bids. seller misspelled wii system, he spelled it wii sistem
