Hello,

Having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong with my ebay search. When I search for "deathsaurus" on ebay, the following item does not show up in my search results.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Deaths ... 86005r7146

What do I need to do with my search results to get the above item to show up in the search results below?

I can't click the links as I'm at work, but try searching all of eBay rather than toys, collectables or whatever.

Also, you could just search for his D-336 number, like 'Transformers D-336' or 'Transformers D 336'

EDIT: Because I can't read...

I did actually get it to show up, but it's showing as an Ebay Store. You may need to check that off using "Buying Format->Include Store Inventory". It also doesn't hurt to check off "Worldwide" under "Location".

Include store inventory is what did the trick. Thanks!

Now that the problem is solved I feel I can ask this question without being shot for going off-topic. Ryan, does pushing the button on Lizzietron's chest cause her to make any cool noises or does it just make her tongue stick out?

BUahahaahah! Sorry, even more OT, but I've been having the worst week, discovering the true narrow-minded HORROR that is TF fanon, and this is the first thing that has actually made me laugh.

My EBay tip (since I've seen pics of CB and his lats and Modly Glare terrify me into at least attempting to stay on topic), think of ways that the thing you're searching for can be misspelled. You'd think they could type it right off the box or something right? I've found Arcee figures labeled as "RC" or "Arsee" (which just looks...profane to me), etc.

HK, fanon: the only thing more annoying and restrictive and cliquish than canon.

This is a good tip for eBay searching. It's amazing how oddly some things can be misspelled. I sometimes use the * wildcard when performing searches to help me find things I may miss by using the normal spelling.

What's wrong with "Arsee"? Maybe she's got back and wants to flaunt what she's got. Bam.

There's a pun about "junk in the trunk" in their somewhere.
