Marty, here is a follow up on one of my tips. That eRichie MASI GC can be found by searching this way.

I always go to the Key word or item number search screen found off of the Advance search link at the right hand top of each ebay page.

Once there type in, masi bicycle, and search through from one to three pages of stuff that is found using this method. You can see eRichey's masi bike there. I also always check, masi bike, and you will find some things are common to both areas while other things are not. You generally find more in masi bike than masi bicycle. This is one of those rare occassions where the word bicycle was used in the auction and the word bike was not. Rarely does the entire name, masi gran criterium, get used. I like to search using common themes that people will use when they write up a posting. Oh, and I always check the box that says "Search titles and descriptions". That gives you the best penetration into the auction text itself.

Good luck
