[Tigers] Ebay assault

[Will Seay]

I may have gone off half cocked with my posting on the ebay search string.  The
search string to use is:

        sunbeam tiger -"(Fits: Sunbeam Tiger)"

The string shown, parenthesis and all, shows up in a lot of unwanted listings -
not just those for car covers.  Another string that I have found helpful is:

        -"SUNBEAM BREAD"

At least I think that's the correct string.  Ebay, in it's infinite wisdom,
won't let you read back a saved search string without screwing it up.  The
string shown will reject listings for LSU Tigers' collector cards from Sunbeam
Bread that periodically flood the Tiger listings.

Hey, guys...if anybody needs a car cover for their Tiger, there's one or two
available on Ebay right now...  :-0  Seven friggin' pages of car covers????

Sorry to vent here, but I wish there could be something done about these vendors
who abuse Ebay in such a fashion.  In my estimation, they have turned Ebay into
a major waste of time.  Surely we've all got better things to do than to spend
our time dealing with the escalating number of idiots who continually bombard us
with universal parts that "fits the Sunbeam Tiger."  Is there another  place
that Sunbeamers are going now who are serious about buying and selling parts now
that Ebay has become a total joke?
