Typo Trends for November

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

With November coming to an end, and with our new Typo Trends feature  in our hands to play with, the idea sprung up to capture the hottest monthly typo trends on eBay in a nice summary type of blog post.

We introduced the eBay Typo Trends feature just a few weeks ago and we believe it is a great way to see patterns and trends of typos that are occurring all across eBay. Each day of the month we capture and display the top 51 products searched for typos by our users. We also display the top 51 search with typos  on eBay in a monthly format. Below we have selected the top 12 search for November 2009:

It is no surprise that the top searched items for typos on eBay are all typos. Apple products have been hot all year around, but they do come with a hefty price tag and as such looking to find auctions with typos for them on eBay is a great way to get a deal on a apple macbook, iphone or ipod touch!

The interesting one that we have seen come up through the searches is LN32B360C5D, which if one was to google would get many results related to a samsung LCD TV. Unfortunately there aren’t many results for typos (I guess people are mroe careful when spelling model numbers on eBay) but there are plenty of savings to be had on eBay directly for this LCD TV.

You would have to have lived under a rock if you have not heard and witnessed the craze of Apple’s smart phone. They released the iPhone 3G last year in July and another model yet again this July in 2009, the iPhone 3GS. The difference are minor, among them the most important new features include: bigger memory (play games without lag, finally), better network speeds (you can download those apps, songs and youtube videos way faster) and you can finally film videos with the new camera.

If you fancy one of these new toys, there is an alternative to buying your brand new spanking iPhone (3G or 3Gs) from your carrier and not being tied down to any contract whatsoever.

Sellers on eBay are selling a number of various iPhones, both new (never opened), used, and refurbished which combine for some great savings. On top of the regular savings you may find on eBay do not forget to give our typo search service for eBay a twirl for some even bigger bargains. The great thing about eBay is that the iPhones are categorized based on your carrier: AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Fido and Rogers. (more…)
