MG MG Y Type - MG Y Type Auctionwatcher

Steve James has developed a filtering mechanism to remove some of the more obviously non-MG Y Type related items that have crept into the marvelous eBay search tool at www.mg-cars.org.uk/imgytr/mxpmgauction.htm.

If you notice something that should not be there, please let me know and I will add it to the list of exclusions.

While the search tool is very encompassing in its searching, it does not necessarily pick up ALL MG Y items, and nothing really can, but the tool is now much sharper and specific to our needs than before. Thank you Steve.

Check today. Lots of Dodge parts, Honda parts, other stuff that no one would put on their Y. Thanks for all you do. It is appreciated. Larry. YB0944

Hi Larry

Thank you for your feedback. I have just looked through the list of items both AVAILABLE TO (277 items) and LOCATED IN (35 items) the USA and could not find anything that was applicable to either a Dodge or a Honda. Can you give me a specific KEY WORD (like POWER WINDOWS or such) that you are seeing?

Thank you

Paul

Paul. The site I am using is www.mgyauctionwatch.com/y-type/parts/ When I type in your site, it does go to the Y site, but not the auction site.

Thanks. Larry.

I could not load a page from the URL of www.mgyauctionwatch.com/y-type/parts/ but I was able to get to http://www.mgauctionwatch.com/ytype/parts/ where I did notice a couple of items. I will talk with Steve about that.

Meanwhile, if you go to www.mgytypes.org and go to CLASSIFIEDS and click the link there, are you seeing these Dodge and Honda items?

Paul, don't see any on the CLASSIFIEDS. Just the same few that have been on there for a long time. Thanks.

Above the classified listings (right hand end) Larry there is a hyperlink to the eBay Auctionwatcher site. You are not clicking on the link!

Found it. To many items listed multiple times. Sealant listed 38 times, about 10% of total listings. Thanks.

We cannot control eBay policies Larry.

If someone lists essentially the same thing 38 times for marginally different descriptions eBay members can complain to eBay. In this case he advertises the same thing for a different application - that circumvents eBay rules. His product is versatile and has many applications, and can be used on Ys! If someone wants me to, I can actually block that seller from coming up too, but I took the view it is an appropriate listing. If you, and some others disagree I will block the seller.

Yours, and other people's comments are appreciated.
