But tread cautiously with a thread like this, some Net54ers get militant about their search techniques and cry foul if anyone outs anything. I'm going to send one Net54er some money to compensate him, they feel that they have an investment in their time spent while searching, and to post anything about something they've found is manifestly unfair to them. |

that is a real time saver regardless of what "search" methodology you land on is to click the "Auctions Only" tab. That will weed out the almost endless stream of overpriced "Are You a Sucker Today" listings. Granted you may miss the occasional realistically priced card or even a bargain now and then, but if you value your time, it's worth it.

I will send you my address to send me some money too.
![]() Seriously, if someone searches for 3 hours and finds something it's just and fair to have a bit of an advantage on an item that is found, over someone that didn't search at all. If time equates to money, as the saying goes, then so be it. That's my half cent.... As to the original topic Frank is probably right. Most folks don't discuss the intricate techniques they use. Basically searching on key words and narrowing it down with ebay's tools is what most folks proabably do. There aren't nearly as many unseen bargains as there were 7-9 yrs ago.... |

Every Friday I send Leon a bottle of Scotch. I then call him about 11 PM and ask him what he is bidding on for the week. Very time efficient.

Disclaimer: this is a for profit, affiliate-based, eBay "browsing" setup, but some of you may find it useful, as it's broken down by set. Should probably add an "Auctions Only" filter too, eh?

Once you get to the right sub-sub-sub-category, for god's sake, save it in your favorites in your browser.

Favorite searches can be saved within ebay too, just as Favorite Sellers can be saved too
