Importance of spelling correctly

[flashnolan]

I found these two eBay actions for the EXACT same product in the same condition. In one of the auctions the manufacturer was misspelled. Notice the price difference of the final values:

TNE 7000A BERWEN RESEARCH SCRATCH AND POP FILTER
Final Auction price: $0.01

BURWEN RESEARCH TNE 7000A TRANSIENT NOISE ELIMINATOR
Final Auction price: $76.07

I have seen this item sold for as much as $250 dollar on Craigslist.

Moral: Spelling counts!

It sure does!
Cause otherwise those having their wallet ready may not find it when searching...

When I saw the title I thought; not again. I hate the way spelling, grammar and punctuation threads are so divisive.

Good point though about the need for good spelling in this instance. I think there may be a site that allows people to capitalise on people's eBay mistakes.
