A title like that works in reverse for me...it acts as a deterrent and I skip over it. But I do check out the description to make sure it's something I don't actually want

A nice description works for me...

Back in the early eBay days you'd see nonsense like L@@K a lot. I have to agree, I just skip over auctions with that kind of title.

By the way, who would ever search by WOW or L@@K anyway??

I was just thinking, if you really want to read a lot of puffery without any substantive descriptions, just do a search for "must see" in auction titles.

Just because you're allowed 80 characters for the title doesn't mean you HAVE TO use all of them

all you should have in your title are things that someone might use to search for what you're selling.

no one ever searches for "must see" or "L@@K"...

those things are just obnoxious.

I tried "don't miss this" and came up with this gem among 11 other sports cards auctions

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-LSU-Tig...item589979496b

I hope it sales for the right price!

Edited to add that the seller of that item does that for almost all of his auctions. Checking his completed listings, there are 328 items and his highest sold item was for $10.51 with free shipping. One can safely say, this seller has confirmed, it does not work.

I always search on WOW and L@@K.

I also use the description search to things like:

It was my grandfathers and i dont know the value.......
I dont know anything about cards but it looks real to me........
Found this in my fathers attic (basement).........

etc etc etc.

Geez, the idiots and scammers on Ebay are amazing.

If I want to see "puffery" I have a mountain of auction catalogs that I can look thru at any time, they are by far the worst offenders. This ebay example would most likely not garner a look. Doesn't seem to be working much either.
