Hi All,

I'm spending way too much time doing manual searches for obscure stuff on eBay. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any of the automated search applications or services that are available (i.e. where you enter a bunch of search terms and then get daily emails listing new auctions). I am especially interested in Mac or Linux packages.

Thanks!
M.G.

Ebay itself lets you set up automatic searches that are fairly good.
