Is there an easier way to look up items in the marketplace? I was trying to find out a price on a couple of the older thank you letters and everything but what I was looking for comes up. I really don't want to scroll through 50+ pages.

you just have to be precise about what you put in the search window, and make sure you use quotation marks when you're looking for a specific item 3nodding
for example the letter for your anklets is "thank you letter for August 2004"
THOUGH..sometimes they do shorten the month, so if a letter search nets you a big fat zero, abbreviate the month and it should work ok then 3nodding

Thanks, I didn't know about the quotes and thought something was wrong.

Yes, they mentioned a while ago that the marketplace doesn't deal with searches on anything less than 4 characters and will return ALL results that include a keyword entered into the search box. For specific searches, put it in quotation marks.

put what you are looking for in parenthasies(SP?)...like when ijust did a search for December 2005...what you do..so that you get the right letter is type it in like this..... "December 2005"
that will bring up only the item you are looking for..or the closest to what you are looking for if you are using a key word

i often use a one word search, just going for the most relevant 3nodding you usually only end up with a few pages, i nearly always use the lowest buy price option too, that helps a lot 3nodding
