Yes I know- Ebay calls it "keyword spamming" .
This form is clever because it is spamming within a brand, where as he usual
form is to attract somone who is looking for another brand, for example,
using the word "not", as in "Furd, not VW, not Nissant, not Chevy".
It's the plague of Ebay.

As far as van enthusiast goes-Yes- Vanagon. Bus- drove them for 7 years
every day -I can't sit down much these days-No wonder they are selling so
many-and look how much they are going for? Could buy a nice Syncro Westy for
the price of those shiny buckboards on wheels.

I think they do that for maximum exposure ... ie ... if you search for
"Vanagon" (you're obviously a VW van enthusiast) you'll see their ad
.... whereas you wouldn't otherwise.

I really don't think they believe their splitty is a Vanagon.
