use a wildcard, as some of the devices are quite specific in their
descriptors -- thus if you want a 2SC799 and someone is selling a 2SC799A it
won't search up -- ergo search with 2SC79*

Your advice is on the mark. I've gotten to the point where I *never*
spell out an entire word or part number on ebay! Hint to hams: lots
of sellers can't spell "amateur" :-)
