Yeah, I was figuring somebody was going to comment. :)

It seems to be working very well so far. It found a couple of auctions that I bet nobody's seen, as they were out of the RPG category, misspelled, buried in with mundane items, etc.

The last two items it found seem to have been 'removed'. What is that about?

Its a post whore tactic. Leaving a message to increase your count with no content.

See Foul's note about Shady Dealers in the postscript to the first post.

I'm afraid Auction Hunter is quite capable of stooping low in order to get the record. Apparently "<message removed>" is the bot version of posting "LOL".

Bingo! I have to actually leave those placeholder messages, otherwise AH sees that the auction is missing and posts it again. Thus increasing his post count. You see how this goes.
