How denim dyslexia can nab you a bargain

April 7th 2010 07:15
If you're like me, and love finding a great bargain on ebay, then I have a little secret that I'd like to share with you. It's a special online tool that allows you to find relevant auctions that have very few bidders, resulting in a much lower ending price. Best of all, it's free. Sounds intriguing? Read on!

A must for all savvy ebayers.



Called Typozay, this tool allows you to search for ebay listings that have a typo or a misspelling in their title. Because most of us won't mis-type a keyword (unless we, too, are in a hurry or are poor at spelling) it means that these auctions won't show up when buyers do a search. As a result, far fewer people will find them, which means lower prices for those who do.... and you'd be amazed at just how many auctions like these are on ebay, right now.

I've used Typozay before to find a fabulous faded denim jacket, which the seller had mistakenly typed out as "denm". I was only up against four other bidders because the auction had gone unseen by most buyers, and yes, I most definitely scored it at a bargain price. Of course, I was also presented with several Deni Hines CDs but a quick filtering soon got rid of those!

Check Typozay out here and let me know how it works for you.

No probs at all! I was stoked when I found it myself. Eventually I'm sure there will be a spell checker on ebay, but until then this is ideal.
