Government Auctions - There’s Always A Bargain Price At Government Auctions

Our Top Online Auction Site

It’s not widely known but a significant proportion of eBay sellers regularly fail to check their auction listings before they submit them to eBay.  Sometimes these spelling mistakes are deliberate and result from sellers trying to cram too much detail in to the auction title (eBay limits this to just 65 letters).  However, more usually these typos are due to carelessness or a basic inability to spell.

But why is this important ?

Because unless someone searching on eBay for a specific brandname happens to misspell their search word in exactly the same way then these misspelled auction items are unlikely to be found.

Up until relatively recently the only way that these auction typos could be found was by wading through the auction listings one at a time.

Thankfully there is another way to locate these misspelled auction items: one that has been used successfully by tens of thousands of users over the twelve months and it’s to use a web site outside of eBay to search for eBay misspellings called Auction-Fatfingers.com.

This very specialized search engine works by taking a correctly spelled word or brandname, deliberately misspelling it in a variety of ways and then submitting the list of misspellings to eBay.  Any misspelled auction items matching any of the words on the list of misspellings will then be shown on eBay.

But why do this ?

The answer is amazingly simple !  Because these misspelled auctions are normally quite tricky to find they get fewer bids. This means that misspelled auctions generally sell for less than the same item which is correctly spelled, if they sell at all.  So while these stupid typos cost the sellers money they mean that you, the purchaser, can grab a real bargain.

If you’re smart you can even relist the misspelled items that you buy (taking care to avoid introducing typos) in order to make a profit.

So what are you waiting for ? Why not head over to Auction-Fatfingers.com immediately and try searching for ‘Abercrombie’, ‘Motorola’ or ‘Playstation’. You’ll be amazed at the bargains that you can pick up.
