Anyone use software that allows for unlimited Ebay saved searches?

[DefaultGen | 5,436]

I keep running into the saved search limit by putting in items that literally never show up. Does anyone know of or use a service that basically allows for 1000+ searches with at least daily email alerts?

I don't need one of these fancy power buyer instant listing tools like uBuyFirst (most of which seem to cost around $40/mo), just somewhere I can shove a rare bootleg Commodore 64 game saved search that will probably never get a hit without it eating my Ebay saved search limit. I use ItemAlert when I need to stay on top of instant new listings but I'm looking for a service that will run these one a day searches automatically without needing to be logged in.

Edit: Automated Searches and SearchDome seem like two ancient freemium services that do this. Search Siren looks like a newer service that allows 500 free searches/day but doesn't seem to have a business model.

Combine your searches.

Theres no need to look for “Final Fantasy 1” and “Final Fantasy IIl” when you can just type “Final Fantasy -2 -II” and add NES and SNES as platforms…

But then again you’re looking for Arufugarufu or something like that so the trick won’t work :V

I do combine my searches right now to meet the limit, it's a pain! I have like 5 different strings from Commodore games. If I find something and want to remove it from a saved search, I have to figure out what search it's in and edit it out. I also want to make sure the search doesn't return too many results so I can easily browse it in my morning emails! I'm going to try this third party stuff and see if it makes managing my searches easier.

While you guys are plumbing the secrets of eBay, how bout that watch item limit?  It’s killing me all the time.  I might one day buy that thing I watched 3 years ago.
