Misspell Ebay!

Many people list items on ebay. But, did you know that the title of the item is never spell checked unlike the item description?

So when people search on an item that they want, they normally spell it correctly and all the misspelled items are never found!
Using this guide i will help show you how to:


1. Find misspelled items.
2. Get daily notifications of any new misspelled items added.
3. Use an easy way to snipe on ebay, Last second winning bid.
4. Other secret tips for you.


1. Find misspelled items.


You could sit for hours on end trying to type in each possibility of a spelling error manually, which would take days and you still probably would never find all the ways a word could be misspelled. So to make it easier use one or more of these misspelled item finders:


http://www.auctionintelligence.com

http://www.bargainchecker.com

http://www.goofbay.co.uk



Now all you have to do is type in the CORRECT spelling of the item you would like to find and these programs will search all fo ebay for any variation of the name you have typed in.

Here is an example of http://www.auctionintelligence.com, as stated above:



This is what the page looks like when it opens the search:



I would suggest that once you have found the item you would like to watch the item, by clicking . There is no point rushing off and making a bid as this will only increase the final amount if someone else bids on the item.

However, if the item is at a low bid, lets say $0.99 but the item is worth a whole lot more you may as well put a bit in for $1. (Tip: mose people will put in a bid of $1 so try and use an unusual bid such as $1.03 ect.)


2. Get daily notifications of any new misspelled item added.



Ok, lets say you really want an item, you want to be the first to know about any misspelled same items that get listed, dont you? Absolutly!

Now you can constantly check yourself. But wait, you dont need to do that.
All you have to do is save your misspelled items as a "Favourite Search" (See Image Below) in ebay and ebay will automatically inform you when a new misspelled item is added, Wonderful, don't you think?




3.Use an easy way to snipe on ebay, Last second winning bid.


Ok, what sniping basically means is that you place a last second bid on an item and snatch it right from under another potential buyer's nose. Therefore you win the item for yourself.


Here are some sniper programs that you can use:


http://www.auctionsniper.com/

http://www.bidnapper.com/

http://www.snipeswipe.com/


Most of them let you have a free trial but do eventually charge various amounts. So you can try them if you like.

Wait! There is a simple way you can do it all by yourself!



Here's how:
Find the item you want to snipe. View the item description and wait until the item is ending within say 5 minutes. Now open a new window in explorer. Simply look to the top of the screen and choose FILE, NEW, WINDOW. or simply Ctrl + N.

Open the NEW WINDOW you have just opened. Go through all the normal steps of placing a bid, even type in the amount you wich to bid, but DONT PLACE YOUR BID YET. STOP when you get to the page review where you comfirm your bid.



Now go back to the original window that you had open that shows the item descriptio and use your REFRESH button, top of the screen, or simply press F5. Now keep doing this until the item is ending in 20 seconds or less, if you can handle it.

Once you decide that it is the right time to bid, go back to the second window (The one that has your bid typed in) and click COMFIRM BID. you have saved precious seconds because you didnt need to go through the process of getting to the Review and comfirm bid page!



Now you will most likely get the winning bid and the item is yours!


4. Other secret tips for you!



Many people have discovered the secret of misspelled items, but think about it, they are all looking for different items so there is many misspelled items to go around.

One thing you could do is deliberately misspell a word in your item description. This would mean that it will show up to all the misspelled bargain hunters too!


If you think you have made a bargain but not 100% sure a simple way to check is to click Advance Search from any ebay page. You will find it at the top right hand corner.



At keyword search type in the word of an item, ie, Nokia E65, Now almost directly underneath you will see a tick box, COMPLETED LISTING ONLY.



Select this and then scroll to the bottom of the page and choose .

Ebay will now show you all the Nokia E65 items that have recently ended. You will see that the items have the price on the right. When you click on the item it tells you whether or not it sold. You will now know an average price for how much a Nokia E65 is selling on ebay. Make a point of always checking any item this way so you neber pay too much for an item again!



I hope this guide helps you out.

How to clean your guitar:

This works on both acoustic and electric guitars.

Items needed:
- Microfiber cloth
- Pledge Classic Beauty Furniture Polish. DO NOT USE PLEDGE WITH WAX!

- A guitar (wooden ofcourse)

What to do:
Take your guitar and place it on a rather soft surface, like a bed or table with a cloth or towel on top. Make sure the head is supported, either by the surface it's laying on or something to raise it, like a pillow or a wrapped up towel.

Than spray some Pledge on your guitar, not too much and whipe it off with the microfiber cloth untill all pledge is gone.

Best is to start with the body, than spray between the pickups and wipe it.
If you are having trouble wiping between the strings, take one end of the cloth and pull it under your strings.
If you are done with the body, both the front, back and the sides you can do the neck.
Don't worry, pledge won't damage your strings, it's actually pretty good for your strings too. Just apply a little bit of pledge on it and wipe it off good. Than take the cloth and wipe under the strings. Also clean the back of the neck and than clean the head.

Result:
If you're done, your guitar should now shine and with some you should be able to see your reflection.

Some might ask, why Pledge?
The answer is pretty simple, there are ofcourse other brands of guitar cleaners and polishes, but these are expensive. You can get a 250ml (8.4 oz) can of pledge for ~$ 2,- or ~$ 3,-. Some even say Pledge works better than guitar polish, but I can't say that, since I never used anything else.

How to pick a guitar for YOU!

First of all, you need a price range. I recently bought a guitar and my range was $400.00 - $650.00.
Anyways, if this is your first guitar a good price range would be $100.00 to $300.00. Probably the best beginners guitar would be a Fender Squire Stratocaster or Telecaster. They range from
$75.00 to $450.00 USD. My first guitar was a red Fender Squire Strat. Nowadays Squires usually come with
a whammy bar/ tremelo. Some things to look for in a guitar is the shape, the wood, the pickups and so on.
ALSO, if buying a Gibson or an epiphone MAKE SURE you know if it's a bolt-on neck or not. For example,
A Epiphone SG Standard is around $400.00 - $625.00 USD. A Epiphone SG Special (Bolt-On Neck) Is From $225.00 - 350.00 USD.
If you're in a $500.00-$1000.00 dollar price range, look for Seymour Duncan or EMG pickups.


Now, if you want, when you're starting out, they have Squires like one my friend has from $275.00 - $400.00 USd if you have a bigger budget.
They cost so much because they usually have a sunburst finish, which costs more. Also, they would have Duncan Designed single-coil pickups. which are
a cheaper version of Seymour Duncan pickups.

I'm going to be talking about some well-known guitar brands here and they're prices.


[ESP Guitars: Anywhere from $150.00 to about $5000.00 USD. Depending, the guitar they have some nice guitars.
If you need a price, check on their website or on google.

Epiphone guitars: Anywhere from $200.00 to around $2000.00 USD. Almost all of these guitar kick ass
and I recommmend them. But trust me, don't go cheapo and get a bolt-on neck.

PRS (Paul Reed Smith.): I don't have much experience with these, but from what I know and have heard they're pretty decent guitar. They are a bit
pricey but I think they range form $300.00 to about $5000.00 USD.

Parker: Well, I recently bought a parker P-42 second hand for $450.00 CAD with a amazing hard case
and I am AMAZED. Most of they're guitars go for over $600.00 and I think mine is worth around $1000.00 USD.
I really recommend these. The nitefly is amazing.

Vintage: These, again I don't know much about. As far as I know, they go for $225.00 to probably $1500.00 USD.
If you buy one, get some info on them. They look good and play okay.

Gibson: Everybody's gotta love a Gibson. If you can afford one, buy one. The awesome thing about Gibsons is
a Gibson Meledoy Make is only around $600.00 to $1200.00 USD. Besides that guitar, they go for about $900.00 to $10,00.00 USD.
One thing about Gibson. Recently, they came with the Darkfire. This guitar is AMAZING I've never tried it but, it tunes itself, has an amazing finish and goes for about $3000.00 to $4500.00.
