There's no 'solution' to the issue of finding things... you really have to churn through listings to find things. But there are ways to expedite the process. A few things I've learned:
1. Make use of all the different search variables ebay allows: () "" - *
2. Look through the advanced search options... different things will come up if you limit your search to items with only 10 bids or to items with no bids at all
3. Try out different spelling errors
4. Don't discount buy it now listings--I always thought it was easier to find 'steals' in auctions and BIN generally overpriced/good deals snatched up in an instant. But last week I picked up two Thornton Wilder (author, not baseball related) signed books for a grand total of $70 or so from two different sellers in BIN listings.
5. Always look at a seller's other listed items... as the saying goes, "where there's smoke, there's fire."
