Winning the auctions that don't get the bids
Sometimes the
best deals to be had on eBay are found not by searching for what you
want Tre'Davious
White Bills Jersey , but by searching for what someone else thinks
they've got.
If the previous sentences made you do a double-take, don't
worry, the concept is actually simple, if not immediately obvious. The best
deals to be had on eBay occur when an auction gets many fewer bids than it
deserves. For the most part, this happens for three reasons:
? The seller
has timed their listing poorly
? The seller has misidentified their item

? The seller has misspelled the name of their item
All of these can be
turned to your advantage, allowing you to buy at a great price Women's
Leonard Johnson Jersey , if you're aware enough to look for and
make use of them.
Badly Timed Listings
When you come across a listing for
an item you're interested in buying that is very poorly timed, consider bidding
on or at least watching it.

Poorly timed auctions include all of the
following:
? Items that will end when no-one in the nation is awake (in the
United States, after 1:00 AM PST but before 6:00 AM EST)
? Seasonal or
holiday items that are listed well out of or immediately following the related
season or holiday
? Items scheduled to end during major holiday celebration
prime times
In short, any item that is scheduled to end when nobody is
looking is likely to be a good deal. The catch, of course, is that you must
either bid well in advance (eliminating the possibility of sniping) Women's Jordan
Mills Jersey , or you must be there to bid when nobody else wants
to be if you plan to win.
Seller mistakes are boons for
buyers
Misidentified or Misunderstood Items
Finding misidentified or
misunderstood items is one of the biggest search challenges on eBay. The idea is
simple: many of the items sold on eBay are sold by sellers who are simply trying
to get rid of something. Items acquired as part of a willed estate, found in an
old garage or storage area, or even received as a gift or hand-me-down are often
unfamiliar to their sellers, who have little interest in or enthusiasm for the
item. Often this also means that a seller doesn't have a clear idea of just what
an item is or what it is for.
Some classic examples include things like:

? Sports memorabilia sold by non-sports enthusiasts. Collectibles or signed
balls, jerseys, or other types of gear being sold by sellers who have little
interest in sports are often mislisted.
Instead of "game basketball
autographed by '96 Bulls!" a non-sports enthusiast might list such an item as
"brown ball with signatures."
? Computer or electronic equipment sold by no
technical sellers. Many one-time computing or electronics sellers can't be
bothered to find out all of the acronyms Women's
Jordan Matthews Jersey , features, jargon, and uses of a complex
technical device, much less its market value. I was once able to buy a $2,000
data storage device for high-end computers for under $50 because it was listed
as a "strange VCR-type box, condition unknown Women's E.J.
Gaines Jersey ," yet I was able to identify it using the auction
photo.
? Antiques or collectibles sold by non-collectors. For obvious
reasons, a medieval chest made of rare pear wood and inlaid with silver is
likely to sell at far below market value if it is listed only as "large wooden
chest from my basement."
These examples are only a sample of the types of
misidentification or misunderstanding that sellers can have about the items that
they list. The job of actually finding such auctions, of course, is up to you.
Though the biggest component of success in cases like this is creative thinking,
there are some basic tips you can keep in mind as you make the attempt:
?
Think like an undereducated seller. When you are targeting a specific item and
looking for the best deal possible, try to think like someone who knows nothing
about the item or other items similar to it. What would an average Joe or
Jane Women's Jordan
Poyer Jersey , with no prior education about the category, think of
this item? How would they describe it? What mistakes or incorrect assumptions
might they make about it?
? Think about multiple uses or perspectives. What
seems like a "priceless ancient Egyptian artifact from the early New Kingdom" to
you might be a "unique, slightly strange 'The Mummy'-style paperweight" to a
seller that specializes in office supplies. Try to imagine what other uses an
item might have and search or browse accordingly.
? Search for synonyms. Use
eBay's powerful search tools to search for every term that might be used to
identify an item. Don?t' just search for a "desk lamp" but also for a "light,"
and a "torchier." Don't just search for a "stopwatch," but also for a "timer,"
and a "timekeeper."
In short Women's
Stephen Hauschka Jersey , the point is to think creatively,
broadly, and with an open mind about the ways in which other people might see,
describe, or use the types of items you're looking for.
Misspelled
Items
Finding a really good misspelling can be like hitting the jackpot. The
vast majority of eBay buyers and collectors simply search for the correct
spelling of a word without ever trying any of its most common misspellings.
Consider some examples:
? Don't just search for "beanie babies," but also
for "beeny babies Women's Mike
Tolbert Jersey ," "beanie babies," and "beanie babies"
? Don't
just search for "china vase," but also for "chyna vase," "chinna vase," and
"china vace"
? Don't just search for "chevrolet," but also for
"Chevy Women's Micah
Hyde Jersey ," "chevie," and "chevrolay"
By way of real-world
anecdotes, it's only been a couple of years since I got an absolute steal on a
large neon lamp shaped like a palm tree by searching for "knee-on palm tree." It
really does happen.
