Title: Ebay search topics Post by: Kevin C on May 28, 2005, 09:44:42 am Hello
I have found it very hard to find all the coke machines listed on ebay even though I have a lot of different pre-set searches. So I thought it would be a good idea to share our search wording. So here are mine 7 up machine bottle vending can vending cavalier coke coin changer coin mech coinco coke changer coke decals coke machine cola machine Dr pepper machine pepsi machine slider coke machines soda machines soda vending vending machines vendo vendo 110 vendo 56 westinghouse coke Plus I have three categories 1. Business & Industrial:Food Service & Retail:Vending, ATM Machines:Beverage Vending Machines:Cold Beverage, Soda Machines 2 Collectibles:Banks, Registers & Vending:Vending:Soda 3. Business & Industrial:Food Service & Retail:Vending, ATM Machines:Beverage Vending Machines So am I missing any searches? Plus I have seaveral of the searches set up with a 250 mile search limit. So help us out by sharing Kevin Title: Ebay search topics Post by: Skeleton Man on May 28, 2005, 10:26:42 am I never usually search..

Title: Ebay search topics Post by: vend_dr on May 28, 2005, 02:52:14 pm On my searches I will add the * after the word so I get anything that matches my my sequence of letters. Such as I collect old soda cans so I will search for can* in the soda catagory and I will get everything that starts with can.

as Vintage Vendorlator 56 Squaretop Coke Machine. Hoping it would generate a couple hits with some of the wording. Dont think it will do well with it being a holiday weekend. Title: Ebay search topics Post by: on May 28, 2005, 03:44:16 pm I found my Vendo 39 listed under the following categories:
Antiques > Antiquities (Classical, Amer.) > Other I think that is why (or I like to believe) I was able to get a better price then if it had been listed under the vending machines Title: Ebay search topics Post by: on May 28, 2005, 11:36:34 pm Yeah, that's why I search using search words rather than relying on categories.
Title: Ebay search topics Post by: racerx45 on May 30, 2005, 01:38:22 pm Here are a few things I do that helps find what I am looking for. I do an advanced search and check the box that says search title and description. This will show a lot more items in each search but it will also eliminate the need for multiple searches (i.e. one for Vendo and an other for Vendo 110). The other thing I do it search by newly listed items this way you only have to look at what is new since your last search not all 7+ pages looking for the items I haven’t seen yet.
