Icon3 Droppin' knowledge :)

If you look for odd things on the 'bay every now and again - this is a good site:

http://www.fatfingers.co.uk/

You type in the correct spelling for what you're looking for and it finds ALL possible listings which have been mis-spelled. If it is an auction - you got yourself a steal! I bought a brand-new genuine Salvatore Ferregamo belt (verified at Nordstrom) 2 years ago for $25 (retail almost $200), a signed Reagan letter (mis-spelled 'Regan') for $10, and so on. PLUS - many scammers will deliberately mis-spell Rolex (or anything else) to fly below radar of scam-busters like our 'Watch-Out' boys - this may come in handy as well.

Nice one Greg....added to my favorites.

I wonder why wouldn't Ebay add the same functionality to their existing "Advanced" search?
