Or the obnoxious multiple exclamation points! I usually gloss over auctions with
titles like that, unless I'm on a serious hunt.
I really wish ebay would expand the title field. Can the impact on their databases
be that heavy? What are they running? Solaris?

That's probably because the auction text doesn't mention that the Starcross
game is the saucer package. Hugh and I both asked, but the s

Actually I just do the standard procedure: Two windows open, one with a
"place bid" button at the ready, the second my refresh window (with graphics

results of 3 saved searches daily or

Congrats! I recently
Jim,
You realize you've achived the perfect Zen state to not let ebay consume you. Not
