Auction Typos Can Be Your Gain

Auction Bloopers is a new Web site that will search not only for the actual/proper spelling of an item but includes a variety of typos as well. The downside is that it means you'll have more pages to scroll through, but on the plus side you won't have to waste time seeing if the competition already decided to look up "Xbbox 360" before you.

Do an eBay search for a video game console or movie on DVD and you're bound to find dozens (if not hundreds) of auctions, and likely a lot of competition. However, try misspelling "Xbox 360" as something like "X-box" and you will find far few auctions and possibly far less competition from other bidders. Now you could try to type "box 360" and "xbox36" but why go through the trouble when a Web site can help you.
