    Default How do you find auctions so quickly???

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...123167414&rd=1

    Auction ended 7 minutes after start. How does that happen. the quickest I've ever seen an auction is about 1 1/2 hours into it. Would someone be willing to release the secret of finding auctions as they start?

    Click "Search Title & Description" - they show up before the title-only listings.

    Default Also

    Also, if you search "Worldwide" rather than within your country, it shows some items that haven't yet appeared on within your country search. If that makes sense .. hope you can see what I mean!!

    time to kill + cable connection = find ebay auctions super fast

    During the winter if I got snowed in it wasn't unusual for me or my roomies to surf ebay for hours, just looking for crap. Go outside, you say? Nah.

    The fastest way to get the glowing rabbit star is to choose Yoshi, and then go out the front door of the castle. There are 5 rabbits outside - three by the end of the bridge, one in the moat to the left, and one near the hedge maze on the right.

    I know it only took 5 minutes for my NES top loader to sell via BIN when I sold it last year.
