I guess we need to discuss the "keyword spamming" issue. At no time did I suggest that you mislead the potential buyer. Like I said... include RELATED keywords. For example, lets say you are selling a MM system. This is what I would write for my title:
"Mamba Max Brushless ESC Motor, not quark, novak, lrp"
I don't believe that is misleading at all. If a viewer is confused.... all they have to do is read the description. Period.
If some viewers are offended by this method... that's fine with me. I know that for every one person turned off, there will be 10 people who will find my auction, who otherwise would not have.

That's the entire point... Think about it.... If you are in the market for a MM, which auction are you more likely to view? The one that starts at $80 or the one that starts at $0.99? Which do you think will have more hits by the time the auction closes? My basic point is that you can use the starting price to attract more views.
