AmiBay needs to work on their search algorithms.  I'm very new there (after the confusing registration process), but trying to do the following: Click on the Search dropdown.  Enter a keyword, such as "GVP".  Get presented with a screen that says "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."  When I know that keyword is used in a million different listings...

When I do the same on Ebay, I get 8 million pages of hair straighteners, but at least can sort it down from that.  But on the other hand, with Ebay you've also gotta search the .co.uk site, and the .de site, and the .au site, since there's almost never any Amiga products listed on the regular .com site.

Ah, ya just can't win with either one, might as well stick to craigslist!  ;-)  #grumpyoldman
