EBAY???

The Ebay search engine is a bad joke. One of the searches I used to use
was:

(s-100,altair,imsai) -canon -samsung -minolta

They hyphen is not recognized, and instead of bringing up the stuff I am
interested in, 521 items get brought up including junk like "70`S AND
80`S AND 90`S 100 baseball and football cards".

Your way of searching will totally exclude items that got posted in the
wrong catagory and other such items.
