I recently was looking at different camera lines on Ebay. I would use the search function. Knowing the camera body I was looking for - say, Nikon N80/F80 or Canon Elan 7e - I would put that name into the search.
Many times I got the same seller "Canon Elan II not 7 or 7e" in the title - All this does is get the auction viewed by more people via search but does not guarantee auction sales; and, if memory serves me correctly, it is actually against Ebay rules/practices to use such a posting when listing an item for auction. Just my 2 cents, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: Fred [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 14:41:45 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Interesting Non-Pentax eBay Marketing Approach A recent eBay auction was billed as "FUJICA ST901 not pentax lx or pentax kx" - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1393586812 It was for a Fujica body, a 50mm lens, and a TC. My question is why the seller wanted to emphasize that the Fujica was "not pentax lx or pentax kx" - is that a ~positive~ selling point? Or? (???)
