TypoBuddy: Find Misspelled Items on Ebay & Craigslist

TypoBuddy is another website for bargain hunters. Using TypoBuddy you can search and find items that were misspelled on eBay and CraigsList, and get good deals (similar to previously profiled AuctionBloopers). This works especially well for designer products that aren’t so easy to spell.

From the page:

Say you are looking to buy a Louis Vuitton wallet or perhaps an espresso maker. When you search for those things on ebay you’ll normally be in a competitive bid situation. If, however, you can find listings where people have accidentally misspelled the item or made a typo, then nobody else will see the listing and you’ll be the only bidder. That is how you get a great deal on eBay!

Features:

  • Search for misspelled eBay auctions and CraigsList listings.
