eBay, Craigslist savings tips: Consumer Web Site of the Week
Searching for good deals on items on eBay? This Consumer Web Site of the Week will help you find auctions with fewer bids --- meaning the products could be purchased for way below market value.
It comes recommended by Community Coordinator Carla, who is also a Savvy Shopper. She found the site Typozay, which lets you search for misspelled listings on eBay. As the site description explains, "no one searches for the auctions with typos."
Other sites that perform similar functions include FatFingers and auction-typos.com. If you've got a favorite, please share below.
This technique works on Craigslist, too:
the site Typobuddy searches both eBay and Craigslist for items listed by sellers who take liberties with brand names. They also include a list of popularly misspelled words, such as Louis Vuitton and Abercrombie.
And don't forget to use RSS feeds to save on Craigslist ... another way to spot deals quickly.

Restaurant.com is now offering 70% off their already reduced restaurant certificates when you enter code TASTY at checkout through 5/16/09. $25 certificates which normally sell for $10, are now $3. I just ordered one for Sly Fox in Locust Point.
