Ebay is having search issues, so theres gonna be a lot of happy buyers, and unhappy sellers with lowball winning bids. I got a new ($200) B&M Quicksilver shifter for $5 one time like this.
 
On their troubleshooting page it said that some people could use advanced search. It also said that everybody would have different problems depending upon where you are. It just worked for me through the normal route then it went out again. They are having some major issues.
 
I can't believe how long its been going on for.....
where do the billions go?!?
 
Don't forget.
Type "arcade coin site:ebay.com" into google minus the quotes.

Replace arcade coin with whatever you are looking for.

Or for more fun:
{arcade coin -"ended" +"end time Nov 22" site:cgi.ebay.com} (w/o curly braces)

This will give you direct listings (instead of a bunch of reviews/nonauctions results) ending in the next 24 hours but not already over/sold/whatever. That way if the outage lasts a day you're not getting outbid unless others are paying attention. If you just want to snipe random stuff:

{"0 bids" -"ended" +"end time Nov 22" site:cgi.ebay.com}

You get the idea. :) Happy hunting, you guys have fun with arcade stuff, I'm poking around some other categories.

Nice, trying it now.
 
It seems like the problem is with searching "Titles" of auctions. I you select the "Title & Description" checkbox, I get all the results.
