Friggin' "Eroica" is the keyword that has irritated me the most over the past year or so! Most of the sellers have NO concept what it means!

Next is probably Campy!

Another trick that these folks do to change the color of the font from black to white so you can't see their keyword spamming!

I used to report them. Sometimes it worked.

A number of years back some folks from the old rec.bicycles.tech newsgroup went after some egregious offenders with $0.01 increment bids - 50 bids in an hour!

The other one that gets me is "RARE" in reference to a Peugeot U08! Also 1960's or 70's on items that were clearly 1 or 2 decades later!

ARGH!
