    you can also find the newly listed items with a Buy It Now price. Sometimes you catch a great steal that way.

    Buy It Now's that have just been listed usually yield good deals... get there before others do. Otherwise just keep an eye out.

    Like for example there once was a 'Kevan Barlow 2001 Topps Autograph'. The guy didn't have a gallery picture so everyone figured it was his normal Topps Auto card worth $20 so they didn't bother to click. I clicked and guess what? It was his $150 Rookie Premier Auto. I ended up winning it for $15. So yeah, if you have a feeling it could be something click just to be sure.

    Newly listed BINs are a good way, as others have said, and just search for hot products (Exquisite, SPA, contenders etc.) to see if some slip through the cracks. I also like to search "auto*" and sort by ending soonest to see stuff that slipped through.

    Here's another strategy. It doesn't hit very often with a card I want, but when it does
    it can yield a great deal. When you type in your searches, try and catch the seller mis-spelling the players name. Example: Mannning or Maning vice Manning.
    I gets hits with this stragey all the time. Just not usually for a card I need.
    Sneaky??? Yes!!!...:)
