I don't know how effective this is, but I had never thought of it before...

Let's say you have a small electronics store and you want to move some TV's on ebay... so you tell the stoner sales clerk to list them on ebay...

He screws around all day and then is about to leave... you say "how many tv's did we sell on ebay?" He says "oh chit, I forgot... hold on a sec" and then hurriedly lists the merchandise...

The only problem? It looks like this on the site:

New! 42' LCD Televusion

So, anyone who searches for "television" probably isn't going to find that... it won't get many bids and the price will stay low.

Here's a tool to find misspelled lots on ebay and craigslist: http://www.typobuddy.com/

My example was dumb and this is probably just a clever idea that isn't really all that effective... but it IS clever, nonetheless... and that's all that really matters, right?
