In the ongoing quest to find great deal on eBay or even to find items you can flip, one of the interesting approaches is by looking for misspelled items. One of the most common misspellings was ?labtop? for ?laptop?. This misspelling is so common that some people listing laptops actually use the word ?labtop? in their title. Check it out.
You know the topics you are interested in. Look at how the word can be misspelled. For instance, if needlepoint is your passion, try searching for ?needlepoint? or ?needlepoint?. It is more than likely that you will find a few items under these misspellings. Even better ? for you ? these items will not have bids on them because people looking for needlepoint will not find these.
As an experiment, I went and tried this just now and found 13 items and not one of these had an eBay bid. Some were from the same eBay seller. You could watch these, buy them at the last minute for the opening bid price which is low, ask for combined shipping and have a great set of items that you can list in your own auction - correctly spelled !
It won?t work in the case of combined shipping where all the items will be shipped in the same package but a side benefit of winning these misspelled auctions is that you have them already packaged and ready to reship when you sell them. If you like, you can take a peek inside to make sure it is as advertised and then tape it up again.
Often it is easy to copy the misspelled auction into your word processing program and fix the misspelling and modify it so that it is yours. It will have the basic information such as dimensions and color already worked out for you.

Access Your PC From The Road
Access Your PC From The Road
by: Jim Edwards
Have you ever sat in front of your computer and wished you could show someone else what appeared on your screen?
Maybe you were experiencing a problem, or couldn't figure out how to make something work, but you knew if someone else could see what was happening on your screen, they could help you fix the problem immediately.
Ever had a phone conversation with someone about a particular business topic, but you just couldn't "connect" with your ideas because it was too hard to explain over the phone?
Now, visualize jumping on the phone with that same person and literally sharing your computer's desktop to collaborate, discuss, and create virtually anything together, even if you are separated by thousands of miles.
Though this may sound like an episode of Star Trek, remote computer sharing is actually a daily business reality.
Imagine you need to take a trip and you either...

The Brilliance Of CD-R
The Brilliance Of CD-R
by: Mike Waters
Last weekend I was in Atlanta with my wife promoting her latest fitness book. It was a fantastic event. We made some really great connections and my wife sold a lot of books. People flocked in from all over the region with their accolades, questions, and concerns. My wife was there in person to answer them all.
Although she loved the exposure, more people actually came out to support my wife than either of us had anticipated. As a result, during her first full session of promotion she completely ran out of business cards. But being the technically savvy guy that I am, I immediately pulled out my laptop and burned off several more CD-R business cards to get us through the rest of the event.
CD-R duplication is priceless. Writers, self-employed entrepreneurs, musicians, small businesses, hobbyists, and even Fortune 500 companies all benefit from the brilliance of CD-R technology. Not only are they a...
