What I'd like to know is how people (the same
people all the time)are finding the rare items. Granted, I'm aware
of a few sellers putting a ton of stuff up, so people watch their
auctions. Everyone searches on Infocom, Drash, etc. But I've also

When I started collecting a few years back, I had an entire 8.5 x 11 sheet of titles, search terms, publishers, etc. You name it. It would take me an hour a day to dig. I found some pretty interesting stuff. I also had more cash to buy goodies with. But I relied purely on ebay's search tool.
Leveraging the phenomenon on ebay that one rare item selling for a wad
