What did I do wrong?
Maybe you didn't use the right words in the title line. My ebay search terms do not
include 'beyond', 'rare' or 'new', they are fine for the main
description but the title is too precious for them. The words 'computer' and
either 'classic' or 'old' or even 'vintage' for instance would
have been more useful. Some ebayers might even have an exclusion for new items by using
-new. I wish ebay would divide computers into decades or generations, I find it useless
using eBay categories or I end looking through 90s, 80s and for me even 70s stuff for
hours looking for probably just one computer item from the early 1960s, often none at
all.
