Joystiq [Nintendo]

With words like "pwned", "133t" and "OMGsplosion" splattered across forums and overly enthusiastic websites, it's little suprise that the internet is slowly destroying the English language, reducing hundreds of years of subtle communication to simple emoticons and way, way too many exclamation marks. With that in mind, we'd like to point out how an errant space in the word "DS" led to one guy nabbing a shiny DS and three games for the paltry sum of $93. OMG, indeed.

When an item on Ebay is listed incorrectly (example: listing your GBA as a type of a lawnmower) or spelled in a weird way (example: Nitmendo 46), it throws off the search engine and category listings, resulting in fewer people seeing the item than originally intended. And while there is a market for the Sony Gamestation hairdryer, it's not as wide as the one that would be looking for a game console instead. If you're a seller, that means you're likely to get fewer bids and thus, less money. That is, however, a very good thing for the buyer. If you can find an obscure auction, you can definitely look to save a few bucks. The man who scored that "Nintendo D S" on the cheap used a nifty search engine that actually finds auctions with spelling errors in the titles for you.

Remember, always capitalize on the mistakes of others.
