I've noticed the wierdest thing about searching for Epic stuff on eBay.
If I type in "Epic" in the search bar on the main page, I get (today):
Toys & Hobbies (553)
So, 553 hits for the word "Epic" in Toys & Hobbies. No problem. If we click on that to get a better breakdown, we get this:
Toys & Hobbies
? Games (180)
? Action Figures (127)
? Radio Control (31)
? Trading Card Games (17)
? Diecast, Toy Vehicles (3)
Now, I'm not good at math, but Mr. Calculator adds those subcategories up to 358. That's a drop of 195 auctions!
When I click on the "Games" link, we get this breakdown:
Games
? Miniatures, War Games (118)
? Role Playing (51)
? Board, Traditional Games (3)
? Other Games (1)
Note that this only adds up to 173. We've lost another 7 auctions somewhere. Anyway, clicking on "Miniatures, War Games" (to get away from the Micromachines, Epic Duels, and D&D stuff), we get:
Miniatures, War Games
? Warhammer (255)
? Other Miniatures, War Games (28)
? Warmachine (3)
? Lord of the Rings (1)
Wha...? Where did all these extra auctions come from? 173 to 287 is a bit of a jump. Shouldn't they have been reflected in the higher-level category of "Games"?
Clicking on "Warhammer" results in:
Warhammer
? Other (50)
? 40K (41)
By the Emperor's abacus! We've lost 196 auctions! Where have they gone??
If I knew I could click on just one particular level of category and see all the auctions, I'd be fine with that, but eBay's system seems to drop auctions in and out of the search results at random. Crikey. Anyone else noticed this problem?
