Has anyone found anything like this out there? I thought Ebay's "Favourite
Searches" option might help, but for that you're limited to twenty-five
searches, and can only get e-mail for three of them. I still can't find any
way of having some 'bot watch Ebay for a lot of different searches, and e-mail
the results.
(Off-topicality disclosure: actually, the regular Ebay search works fine for
me when looking for Lego, but I've been thinking about looking for Ed Hoch
stories, which would require searches that return, e.g., _Fantastic Universe_
June 1957 or _Manhunt_ March 1957, but not _Manhunt_ June 1957. . .)
