Hidden items on Amazon
Ever think that they’re items hidden on Amazon that only seem to get found by accident? Case in point, I went searching for the Neca Original Super Heroes Phantom figure after finding Ming the Merciless for $40 ( ships and sold by Amazon); the search didn?t yield a Phantom but it did turn up a Mego 50th Anniversary Green Arrow that never shows up in my Mego searches
How does one find these hidden items that don?t show up in typical searches. Anyone have any tricks?

I would love to know, too. Amazon's search is maddening.

Re: Hidden items on Amazon
Find the ASIN code on .com and search for it on .ca

Re: Hidden items on Amazon
No doubt there are. With the number of items in their database, there are certainly some that aren't coded properly to show in categories and/or search.

Do you just enter it as a regular search?

This is not guaranteed to work. Many .ca items have different ASIN codes than their counterparts on .com. When they're the same, you can just swap out the .com in the link to .ca, but as I said, that doesn't always work.

Thanks. While the items I checked showed up as currently unavailable they showed up none the less
