Type what in ?

when on ebay what do you type in to find boxes ?

 

i know some of you won't want to answer incase you have found a magic word that finds the good one's, but with nearly every inch of ebay being watched by nearly every one and not many boxes slipping through the net ! 

 

I know that if there is a gap in the word then you can get a load more or a load less just because of the spelling

 

ghetto blaster and gettoblaster will get different numbers of items for the same thing !

 

so what do you type in ?

Boom Box, Cassette Tape Boom Box, Cassette Boom Box, 'Brand' Boom Box, Vintage Boom Box, almost never ghettoblaster...

i used to type allsorts in,but i'm getting too old and lazy now and i dont often browse that much these days unless i'm actually bored out my brains with nothing to do..

never bored just cannot remember what I was doing last or what i should be doing Right Now! so i go to the cpu ( both win98se and win7Ult ) and either read to remember or read the " email's " to remind me what I should be doing or should have done allready...

So all the time I have too many things am doing - so it get's a bit confusing

Or just view the listings by category.

I guess that ebay would rather users didn't do this, but you can still go to the category page without requiring a search: (Assuming here that we're talking ebay UK)

 

http://listings.ebay.co.uk/_W0...ZListingCategoryList

 

And then drop down to Consumer Electronics>Portable Audio>Portable Stereos:

here are some favorite link's Utlized and then have to convince the sell to ship out of their country & and in the past - not really caring just how much it's gonna cost to ship even if it was Kosting more than the item was worth or sold for back when ... unlike now...
