I made an ebay misspell tool located at http://www.typobay.com .Typo Bay offers you a service, completely free to use, which allows you to find misspelled auctions. This tool allows you to broaden your auction search by including typos in your query in such a way as to provide you with so called "hidden auctions". The result of this is that you bid against fewer people allowing you to obtain the winning bid with a fair amount of ease and at a much lower cost than usual. This tool was the result of alot hours and hours of work . So if you guys had any more ideas or suggestions to help improve it would be very helpfull . Thanks in advance

Have you found any auctions at great prices because they were spelled wrong?

How did i think of it ?Well i always found cheap prices with misspelled items (by accident on words i couldn't spell properly).
People use it ? Yeah alot of people use it and we have received alot of positive comments .

Anyone ever find good deals ?
Yeah ive seen almost everything misspelled video games,movies , posters clothes, toys,mp3 players, cameras ....ect . The 3 top deals ive seen tho :
1- Misspelled Modified Subaru low mileage for 5000$ (worth at least 10-15k)
2-Some guy bought a misspelled 100$ book and sold it for 1000$
3-Someone bought a 3000$ misspelled purse that is worth at least 5000
