With regards to the eBay search function, this is probably common knowledge, but you can eliminate things easily by enclosing relevant keywords in parentheses preceded by a minus sign (and then saving the search).

To show how stupid things have gotten, here's an example of what I needed to add over time to one of my searches for a baseball card set (yes, a BASEBALL CARD set) just to eliminate the detritus and 'only' have cards I'm looking for appear:
-(dean, sheffield, calender, usaf, losers, pottery, nasa, china, buick, saucer, rosemary, rainbow, caron, granada, baby, relish, salt, billy jack, steel, license plate)

No joke.

Note: The "dean" is in all of my searches to avoid Mr. Extortion himself.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.
