Default Just a reminder: there are misspelled juke boxes on ebay

I apologize to those who think of my posts as spam -- I'm not trying to
spam anybody... this is just a reminder that people can't spell stuff
like "Wurlitzer"!

Misspelled items on ebay don't get any bids as a rule. Therefore you
can get 'em cheap (or cheapER, anyway) by using my site which can find
misspelled items for you. I just did a test run on Wurlitzer, and found
this:

Vintage 1962 Wulitzer 2610 45 33 Jukebox for Pickup NJ

Guess how many bids? ZERO. Now, maybe nobody WANTS that particular
juke box, or maybe they don't want to drive to New Jersey, or maybe the
starting bid is too high, I don't know. But maybe it's a screaming deal
waiting for some shrewd bidder to find!

Anyway, try my misspelled-item-finder at:
http://www.ebargainsweb.com/spelling.php

It's free, no sign-up, no downloads, no nonsense. Have fun.

I dunno... After reading through your post, how can someone NOT think of it
as Spam? If it looks like crap, smells like crap and seems like crap, then
it IS crap!

Dave,

I tend to agree with the other post. I wonder how much spyware is in
that app??? That's why I use Linux, no gotchas with Linux software --
unlike questionable Windows apps. Just my 2 cents...

Dang, that's the suspicion I was trying to avert by saying "no sign-ups,
no downloads, no nonsense." The point is, it's not an app at all, at
least not one that runs on YOUR computer. It's a server-side thing that
takes your query, figures out ways to misspell it, then sends you off to
ebay with a new query which is all the possible misspellings.

*sigh* Oh well. My advice to anyone who is suspicious is, don't use it.

Anyway, thanks for the input, guys.

Well,
There HAS to be some reason that you keep spamming newsgroups with it every
few weeks. I don't know if you are trying to get the number of hits on your
site up or what, but unless you are that one in a million guy who is
honestly just trying to help mankind with no other motive, it's spam.

I can tell you why he does it....he is getting paid by ebay
The links flow through a service that tracks winning bids and
registrations....

Ken, you are right. If you buy through a link I know in many cases
ebay gives 50% of the final value fee on anything purchased. This is
done through a lot of other websites and is pretty profitable.

Yep. That is what is going on here. I dont balme him though. It is a
good idea. I think the issue may be with his level of posting.

I have ebay links on some of my pages that help visitors find parts for
specific machines too. I just dont post about it here.

I make a few dollars here and there which helps cover the fees
associated with running my site.

Actually ebay gives me 40% of whatever they make on a sale. It's pocket
change, basically, but it doesn't cost me anything to provide the
service, so why not?
