Dusty Chalk Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 So this guy on eBay has a disc that I want, and since he's in Germany, and there are other things in Germany that I want, I want to be able to browse what he has, but he sucks and doesn't put them in categories or anything. Does anyone have any advice on how to go through his catalog without looking up every single thing he has somewhere else? It's this guy, tucu9. I got SACD's, and there's even one I want (After Forever, though no Epica), but beyond that I'm stumped. I like his electro/ebm/industrial selection (which includes the disc I want), but am insufficently familiar with compilations to know which are good ones and which are not so good (I am avidly not into the whole aggro noise/power electronics thing...er...any more...not so much). And, of course, there's very little point in getting something from over there that I can get over here, unless it's significantly cheaper. I'm tempted to write a script that goes through his selections one at a time and look them up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger945 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 How about using google site search for eBay, and including the seller's name in the query. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yeah, then what? That's basically the same as "seller's other items". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger945 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well I meant that you would also include the album or song or genre in the query, but it turns out (after trying it some more yesterday) that just using regular google instead of google "site search" will yield better results. I do the same thing when I shop for used music, and sometimes look to see if the seller may also have a storefront on Amazon, or try to see if the Amazon seller may have more of what I'm looking for than the eBay seller does. I don't have very good luck most of the time, but sometimes it clicks and I find 2 good albums, or a good album and a good book. I've had lot's better success with Amazon than eBay lately.

Dusty Chalk Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well, I've sent him two messages, and he kind of sucks at responding, so I'm thinking I'll get the two or three disks I want (and can't find elsewhere) and be done with it, taking a chance that he'll charge me individual shipping on all the items.

digger945 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I guess you tried this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 If that site hadn't such large pages number, loading the pages using autopager on chrome (I guess there must be something similar for Firefox and other browsers) into the same tag, would let you use Ctrl+F for a text search.
