Dunno about that... I regularly go through the full Portables section, and
the "ending today" listings for a couple other categories. Donald Duck, I
search for. Portable computers, there are no good keywords.
Of course, the really sophisticated bidder simply keeps an eye on what
other, known bidders are bidding on... 8^) (And disguises his own
activity with lots of Donald Duck bids.)
