Re: [FWDLK] spamming eBay?

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you start your ebay search, for  1957 Dodge stuff, on the
FWDLK's website's Ebay-page (which lists all of the
FWDLK era cars on it, very conveniently).....
you'll see:   "Dodge(1957, '57, 57)" displayed, with
4,419 item listed under that search-header.

To refine your personal parts search, right after YOUR car's identification
is displayed, you start eliminating the code-words that you do NOT want to
be shown.

The following is my personal Ebay listing (yours will vary, but, all you
have to do is find  common words/terms (like K&N) for the items that
you do not want to have be displayed on your personal listings....so, 
without further ado....


Dodge (1957,57,'57)-("K&N")-("bumper")-("caravan")-("car 
cover")-("sign")-("suburban")-
("floor mats")-("truck")-("new")("compressor")- ("control arm")-("seat 
covers")-("seat cushion")-
("sun shade")-("steering wheel cover")-("map 
sensor")-("grille")-(window")-("nob")-("knob")-("LED")


Applying the above 'eliminations' to  the 4,419 "1957 Dodge" listings 
reduces it to 1,601 items,
on 9 pages containing 200 items per page.
