Just my two cents.

Very simple solution to that.....and you'll gladly buy me a bottle of Jack Daniels once I tell you:
After you type in whatever you are searching for, say "Zenith" (without the quotes of course) then type a space and the a minus sign along with whatever you want to filter out of the search. Example:
Zenith -ad -book -sign -albatross -wet pile of shit
etc etc etc
This works with any eBay searches and often with other sites such as Google etc. Try it, and once you can again retain the glee which will temporarily overwhelm you, then PM me and I'll give you my address to mail that jug of hooch to.
