A "HIDDEN" auction is an auction for a brand name or a sought after item, but there is a mistake in the title, making it unsearchable. For instance, when looking for gymboree, you might want to search for misspelled versions of that word like Gymboee, or Gymmoree. you would be surprised!!! You can get some GREAT deals by looking for these!

Here are a few websites I've used to help me find hiddens. One is Hiddenauction.com and another is FatFingers.com. You just type in what you are looking for, and they will do a search for you and find all the misspelled titles that match that search. Pretty cool huh??

Thanks for the tip! I remember hearing about this on the news but forgot all about it. I remember a lady talking about finding diamonds dirt cheap with the typo of dimond. I didn't know about websites that could help either, thanks again!
