... if all you really want to see is ivory chips.

Once you get to Casino in the eBay listings, enter

ivory

in the search box and click both "Search Only in Collectibles: Casino"

and "Search titles and descriptions".

This will give you all of the auction lots in Casino Collectibles which mention the word ivory (there are 35 as of the moment). You will find all of the ivory chips in one short list of auction lots (and a few extra things that you may not want). For example, you'll get all of JB's auction lots, because he puts "I collect ivory chips" in every auction description. Normally, you could eliminate this by adding

-Benedict

to the search box, but this would also eliminate any ivory chips he happens to have up for auction, so you might not want to do that.

After you run this search the first time, and while you have the results on the screen, bookmark it. Then you'll only have to hit the bookmark to get the same search any other time you want to look for ivory chips. To save some time <g>, you can click on the link below, which will do the search, then bookmark it to save it for future searches.

I have several of my specialty areas marked that way -- really helps focus the search (particularly on days when I don't have time to go wandering around looking at all of the chips).

BTW, Katie, you can also do the same thing after you've gone to Casino: Chips if you want to look for chips from a particular casino or of a particular design (e.g., Millennium).
