Just how long do you think, would a sensible person keep listing camera adverts cut from old magazines, or instruction manuals on CDs, before they realised nobody was ever going to buy the bleedin' things!?

No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.

Probably as long as they were prepared to pay for it.

Within reason, things can sell on the second or third attempt.

Second or third?... I've been seeing these listings for weeks, but I don't recall seeing a single bid on any of them.

They are a nuisance that's for sure.

It is very tiresome, but the advanced search can sort out a lot of junk, and the criteria can be saved for the next time. By omitting references to repair-manual-cd-usb-cable the search results for 'pentax' dropped by 900 items.
Any other useful omission categories?
