Everytime I search for any individual Japanese company on ebay, 75% of the search is Real Head. fucking annoying. search for: secret base, kaiju, gargamel, etc. more real head. if mori's goal was to oversaturate the collector's market, he has been successful. don't get me wrong, I love RealxHead. The figures are great and the paint apps are superb. but still... |

It's the sellers adding unnecessary tags to their item descriptions. Just add -Real -Head to your searches. |

I hate that no matter if i search for 'real head', 'gargamel' or 'secret base' that i get the same 35 toys. |

It became apparent that by doing so you reach a broader market. It's annoying but understandable by people use a gajillion tag lines. |

but in this scene (while it is growing), all the extra taglines do is let us know who's a flipper dirtbag. most people are pretty specific collectors in this scene, i doubt that it helps sell RxH any better on ebay. |

I guess the thinking with keyword spammers is "if I dishonestly lure someone to this lot, they might like it since they collect similar things anyway," but when you're searching for a Walder Akrokaiser and your search turns up KRap, it's really annoying. Technically it's against eBay rules but I doubt if they do anything when keyword spam is reported. It's so rampant. Also, if you're searching for Gargamel stuff, don't forget to include "-smurf -smurfs" in your search.

I get tired of seeing auctions for cars that are "real head turners". |
