If I had money to spend I just might give it a try.

Free online services can help uncover those hidden treasures by searching eBay item listings for misspelled words. Enter the correct spelling of the item you're looking for at a Web site such as Auction Bloopers (<A target="_blank" href="http://www.auctionbloopers.com" class="times" linkindex="80" set="yes">www.auctionbloopers.com</A>) or Missing-Auctions.com (<A target="_blank" href="http://www.missing-auctions.com" class="times" linkindex="81" set="yes">www.missing-auctions.com</A>). The sites will divert you to eBay results that include misspelled variations of the term you are seeking. For example, a search for "Laura Ashley" may turn up listings spelled as "Laura Ashly." Typo Buddy (<A target="_blank" href="http://www.typobuddy.com" class="times" linkindex="82" set="yes">www.typobuddy.com</A>) searches for typos in items on sale at both the eBay and Craigslist sites.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3902E355-A683-4B9A-BA8B-14EF9F0C3CC3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
