    great tool, i have seen this befor and use it all the time,

    make sue you hit the search button, and dont just press enter, then it works,

    for some reason when you just hit enter it does something wrong, and fails. ;)

    oh and make sure there is no gap in your post code too :o

    I've seen that happen when I search using the default postcode BT274QS - i dont think that actual postcode exists though - may be something to do with that?

    They should never have put in a start price that low!!! I guess it was done to save fees, but, what a sickener when it went for that!
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Thank you so much Tamsin,

    I bought this item using the local bargain finder.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220143916909&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=012

    I offered the guy £15 for 10 bags, and he accepted, I then offered him an extra £10 for the other 10 bags he had, and on the way to collect he offered a final 10 bags for £10 extra, I got to him checked them out, and ended up bartering to £30 for 30 bag's so only £1 each!

    I have since sold these bags for £10 each (including P&P) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230172242936

    They have all gone now, so I'm not advertising anything here - just showing the bargain I got using this great tool!

    Also I have just got over 2000 greeting cards for £32.07 which is cheaper then buying 15-20 cards in Asda http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110168689474

    So once again, thank you for the best tool I have ever seen for ebay.
