Back in 2006 an eBay user by the name of John N.  was the winning bidder of an auction on eBay outlined as a“gorgeous” Mercedes Benz S600, a 12-cylinder car that retailed for more than $100,000 when new. The auction had ended for $21,200.

A number of these searches were yielding some great results, allowing these users to save anywhere between 30-50% on these cars!

Finding listings with typos does not only give you a great chance to save on cars you are looking to purchase, but it also creates an arbitrage opportunity that you may want to take advantage of. (more…)
