Common auction misspellings.
Misspellings happen, but not always in the title of the auction. If they do, there's a chance less people than normal would view the auction, but it probably also implies that the seller does not know much about what he/she is selling. However, if there's pictures, and you're willing to take a little risk, hunting out these auctions could help you get things a little cheaper on ebay. So, what are the common misspellings that you've noticed for classic games auctions? I realize most of already know about this, but it could be helpful if misspellings were added so that everyone could know what to search for.
I notice that genesis gets spelled "gensis" a lot.

That's exactly what I was gonna say! I just love it when I accidentally stumble upon something I want that's been misspelled, because it usually does mean that I end up getting it cheaper. Sometimes I'll actually go ahead and bid on one of those no pic auctions too, because those usually mean that I end up getting it cheaper also. I got a perfect sealed UN Squadron for only $10 that way earlier this year, and I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten that game that cheap if the seller had posted a photo of it in his auction. You know how those sealed SNES auctions are, and this was UN Squadron! I've gotten other sealed SNES games for cheap because of poor descriptions recently also. RPM Racing was listed as SNES racing game, got it for $10 too. It's those darn properly spelled multiple pic show it from every angle and scream to the world that you have the rarest of the rare sealed SNES game auctions that get me. Here I am, just trying to expand my SNES collection a bit, and those darn sellers wanna make me fight 20 other people for their games. They need to keep their auctions quiet for me, so they stay cheap!
