1913 Liberty nickels anytime you want

For some reason, I find this is verrrry funny. If you go to the Yahoo! news home page's search bar and type in "1913 Liberty nickel," in addition to listings of recent news stories there's an automatic eBay advertisement program that will pop up on the search results page. It says, Looking for 1913 Liberty nickel? Find exactly what you want today, and there's a hyperlink to eBay.com. Try it:

Click here to go to Yahoo! News home page

I assume you'll get the same enticing results if you search for "1894-S dime," "1804 silver dollar," or "1885 Trade dollar," etc.

Golly, eBay's got everrrrrrything......

    Yeah, didn't you hear? eBay will start promoting counterfeit rarities now since they ARE readily available there. image

    It doesn't work with everything. I tried typing in "hookers", and I was hoping it'd come up and say "Looking for hookers? Find exactly what you want today." but it didn't image...

    There's actually a bit more intelligence in it than one would initially suspect. Try "1914 Liberty Nickels" -- it doesn't work! So it must at least know the date range for Liberty nickels...
