Jesus, think you might have to narrow the search parameters to look at
only what  you are interested in.  There are also ways to set
up a search to avoid certain items.  It's all on ebay or on Google,
just finished a midnight shift and heading for bed or I would do some
research for you.

Also, I don't know they are s p a m, but if you put that word in your
email, many programs dump it into the s p a m box.
