Guys, the auction title was misspelled, missing a 'p' :

http://ebay.com/<blah>

"Camagnolo Rally Derailleur"

So anyone with standing searches for "(Campy, Campagnolo) Rally" in the title, will not see the auction.

This one mistake probably cut the number of auction views & auction watches in half, or even less. And, if you can't get your auction in front of everyone on ebay, the market makers - who follows prices for each item and who know the typical sales prices - may not see it, and may not bid on it, and you could get an extraordinarily low sales price.
