Exactly. It's completely random. You can't tell if Marvin is going to
screw you or enlighten you. I really don't spend that much time searching
on ebay. I suspect Marvin spends more time than I do. My secret?
Bookmarks.

For those of you who are looking for something specific, do a search for
that stuff, and bookmark the results. Click on your bookmark once a day
or so, and if anything that was listed matches your criteria, you will
most likely find it.

Isn't that a helluva lot more direct and less noisy and random than
Marvin's whimsical service?
