I did a title and description search on eBay for “excellant” and got 21,058 hits. The items for sale on eBay must be really excellant.
Seems there’s no link to dictionary.com on ebay.
Wonderfull: 3,200 hits
Amasing: 31 hits
Incredable: 239 hits
Supurb: 671 hits
I weep for the future… 
Try “rare.” I’m amazed at how many rare things there are (5,798). I was looking for perfume for my mother and found that Channel No. 5 is apparently, rare. I refuse to buy from people who insult my intelligence like that.
Actually, Channel No. 5 is pretty rare.
In fact, I’ve never heard of it until right this minute. :dubious:
Wasn’t he a cartoon superhero in the '60s? “Look—down on the ground! It’s Excell Ant!”
wooshed again…
The place is overrun by misspellers. Just in the shoe department that my wife likes, you are bound to run into dozens of examples of shoes that are fushcia or fuschia, or lavendar. I just want to shake some of these sellers and tell them that there is no T in Skechers. No X in Reeboks. No Nikeys. Who on earth is Doctor Martin? And lady, there are no such thing as Schoes. And, believe it or not, shoes that were made last year are not rare. Not even a little bit.
I try to stay away from that place!
:::: chuckles outloud ::::
I collect shell lamps. There are only a couple of misspellings for “conch,” but anything goes on “abalone.”
Your TV skips from 4 to 6? :dubious:
I have to tell you this, though.
A great many times, when I’m looking for something on eBay and the prices are a bit too high for my taste, I will misspell the word in the “search” field.
The hits I do come up with are often significantly lower in price because the correct-spelling majority is, by default, not seeing these items and therefore not bidding on them.
I got a “Zipo” lighter much cheaper than a “Zippo” would have cost, and my Ping puter cost much less than a Ping putter in similar condition would have.
Just a little something to keep in mind for both the searchers and the spellers.
As a matter of fact, it does.
But it smells GREAT. 
I read in the NY Times (long ago, so sorry, you’d have to pay to read it) that there’s a whole cottage industry of people who search for deliberate misspellings, snatch up quality items on the cheap, then turn around and offer them for auction (this time spelled correctly) to reap a tidy profit.
I just bought some Chanel No. 5 at Boscov’s this weekend. I don’t know how rare it was, but they had lots of bottles of it.

Yes, it’s Excell Ant,
Strange visitor from over there by that gum,
With powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal ants!
Excell Ant, who can change course around mighty rivers from the hose,
Bend a doughnut with his bare pincers, and who,
Disguised as some other Ant,
Mild-mannered drone from a pile of dirt,
Fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and more sugar!
[/1950’s radio announcer voice]
It is unclear (even to me) exactly what I meant to type there, since obviously the people who are misspelling their items are not doing it deliberately (unless they have some motive unknown to me) . . .
Exactly. Any department store has lots of bottles.
The “How to make money on Ebay” books and programs will often suggest that you put “rare” in the title to attract attention. I suppose it works, for things that tend to be rare. But perfume? Putting “rare” in the title isn’t going to make me think “Hey! I need to look at this ad, maybe I can get that ‘rare’ bottle of Channel at a steal!”
“l@@k” gives 51585 results.
I despair.
AAAGH!
Does nobody get it?
Of course you got Chanel No. 5 at Boscov’s!
But you’ll never find Channel No. 5 there!
Sure you will.
In the electronics department. 
I got it, remember?
