While shopping around on eBay recently for Giants gear, I noticed that a lot of people either do not know how to spell things correctly or are listing their items so quickly that they make mistakes. Well, you can use that to your advantage if you know what to look for. Misspellings of the basic search term, "Giants Bobblehead," can lead to a small fortune if you take the time to check it on a regular basis. While this may seem a little unethical, people have been doing this for years. (If you're feeling nice, you can tell the seller about their typos like I do)
Try these search terms on eBay and see what it turns up. Giant Bobblehead, Gaints Bobblehead, Giants Boblehead, Giants Bobblehad, Giants Bobblehed. You can also try typo variations on "San Francisco"
Good luck!

Don't Pretend to be Slideball
It was brought to my attention by several loyal viewers that someone out there is using my bobblehead photos on their eBay listings. In case you are wondering, that seller is not me. I go by a different alias. I do not currently buy or sell under the ebay seller/buyer ID name of Slideball. It's not me, unless I tell you it's me. (although I have registered the ID name "Its_slideball," I don't use it.)
In general, it is not a good idea to pretend to be me or use anything of mine that might make someone think you are me.
First of all, it's mine, so take you own photos!
Secondly, it's for your own safety.
There is a criminal element out there that would love to get their filthy hands on my vast and expensive collection of bobbleheads and cash it in for easy money. This is the primary reason why you will never see my face, know my identity, or learn where I live. So if you're using my photos on eBay and send people your home address as part of the transaction, be warned that this is probably not a good idea. By the way, I believe in and utilize the 2nd amendment. Don't even think about jumping over the moat.
Thanks
