    I found a curious bicycle on Ebay

    No you didn't. You posted it for sale, and now you're trying to draw
    interest to it.

    Next time at least try using a different name than the one on the auction.

  2. Yeah, I wish GOOGLE would eliminate ALL ebay adds.
    Goggle is full with bs posts like that one, near 95%.

    Anyone can always go query ebay if they need something.
    Ebay adds are a waste of time and precious query space for
    important information users are looking for.

    WOW! I guess the rest of us missed out on that.

    The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets
    old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without
    shocking the entire community. ~Ann Strong

    Ummm, your Google-Fu is weak grasshopper
    http://www.google.com/advanced_search

    Alternately, you can put a minus sign in front of any term that you want
    the search results to ignore. Such as "bicycles buy -ebay". This gets
    rid of /most/ of the pages with the offending term.

    Sometimes you will search for something, and all you get is [censored]
    referral engine results--but that is not Google's fault, that is Indians
    getting paid to click. Google does clean those domains out now and then.

  5. Thanks Doug, uh... Master.

    That should save considerable time.
    I can't even locate the company website of Nitto bike parts.
    Just get 100's of ebay pages.

    Maybe this trick will help unless an abbreviation of Nitto (bike part)
    corporation.
    Any guru vendor help would be appreciated so can see full line of Nitto
    products offered.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, and getting more suspicious, I went back and gave it some
    additional scrutiny. While the listing text says that the shipping to
    the US is 96 Eur, the shipping calculator gave it as 150 Eur. That's
    a bit of a jump.

    Well it goes back to /buyer beware/ plus it's in Italian ebay, not that
    that is a bad thing but being in the U.S. I would be very wary. If I
    were looking for a bike on thebay I would look for a seller in th U.S.
