Just a thought, at the risk of doubling/trebling the size: how about common mis-spellings to find the bike of your dreams? e.g. all those Kleins advertised as Kliens, Proflex listed as Pro Flex, etc etc?

interesting idea......will give it some thought.

there is the possibility for carrying out multiple searches on one click.

I'm sure a quick post on the topic will have lots of suggestions for you to save you having to think of them.

Sure, if people post them i can add them. Assume everyone has found the misspelt klien in the uk by now > http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0164408262

yes having a punt...

I'll think up some ideas for misspellings then

 

[orange71]

Just thinking of those I've definitely come across before now:

Canondale
Mountain Cycles
Klien
Pro Flex
Rayleigh
Shamano
Campag
Campy
Gervin
Flexistem
Kona P2
Marzochi
Marzocci
Paneracer
Mounting bike
plus all the derailleur permutations: draylia, drayla, deralyer etc etc ad nauseam...

there'll be more, just getting tired now!

ebay germany seems to be missing. right?

 

[development_cycle]

I recently won a nice bike listed as Specalized, typo rather than spelling error I imagine.

Yes, seems to be a problem with ebay.de - will have to look into it. No changes here, assume ebay.de have changed their code...

John if you have a spare moment can you add Turner to the list please?
