This is a good suggestion. I have picked up a few cards with offers on cards that had no OBO option available.

Have tried this. Usually get ignored. Couple of successes.
Find myself purchasing here more and more

eBay is the devil. You know something is wrong when you see dealers selling low graded commons for a couple hundred bucks over and over and over...

You can use parentheses to do "or" inclusions or exclusions.

3. Don't show if reprint is listed anywhere in the title or description

add this to your search

-(reprint,rp,grandfather,grandpa,attic,modern)

Too bad you can no longer use the asterisk to search for variations on the end of a word. For instance, if you wanted to search for an item from the 1930s, you could enter 193* instead of having to type out each year in the search.

You can search for multiple years by using parentheses like this (1930, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939) You can have more than one set of parentheses per search.

Yep, you can do that but it saves time to use the asterisk, particularly when you're not using a saved search.
