I think I may have found a new career.

In Online Auctions, Misspelling in Ads Often Spells Cash (New York Times article, requires registration.)

Such is the eBay underworld of misspellers, where the clueless — and sometimes just careless — sell labtop computers, throwing knifes, Art Deko vases, camras, comferters and saphires.

I sent that to rootie_kazootie, who's a major seller there.

I've been using it to my buying advantage, and have already found designer stuff listed under "Mark Jacobs" and "Marc Jacob." I feel like I'm doing something covert!
