I have an eBay search for "GT2056" in titles and descriptions.

How come everytime TD lists anything for sale, they come up in that search.

Odd, very odd.

he's got it in the page but made the text white so you can't see it, its listed in the page code.

i think if you highlight between the 2 black lines above the pics you can see it.

Can you tell i'm bored at work???

Oh, I see now.

He's obviously aiming at a specific target market.

ha ha ha!

I've done this for many years when listing mini parts. Stick cooper, austin, etc in white so it gets extra visibility without looking like a page full of obvious tags.

Well, if I'm after a playstation, I wouldn't want to find a mac coming up in listings...

But I find not many folks know alloy front plates exist - so increasing exposure helps - hence the Austin Tags. The GT turbo junk was a fun to see how long it'd take to annoy Paul (LOL) as everyone on here already knows that if they want one of these they'll get a better deal via PM than through fleabay...

I bought some VVVV by mistake. Mind you they are not a bad substitute.
