    Bang on! I've been known to do the 'refresh' on new listings myself. Why not? (and I'm not a trader)

    Lol... Have fun, James. I'm afraid that even if I had the time to do that, the inclination would be sadly lacking!

    Guys, how is that done?, do you set your settings to go to new items listed every time you log into the Bay,
    or do you just go into saved searches and open up the items you've saved and err......look.

    If there's a quicker way to a bargain, i want to know.
    Frank...made me do it.

    Find the type of item you want, i.e., 'vintage audio, separates' for instance. Select 'newly listed' from the drop down menu and click the 'refresh' at the top of the page very now and then.

    You'll get bored quickly though.
