I search only for "PDP" (not -11) but I filter on category "Computers/tablets & 
Networking." It might not have shown up in your search if you searching in 
"Vintage Computing" category. This one looks like it wasn't listed there

Subject: eBay search fail

So someone mentioned this to me:

  https://www.ebay.com/itm/222941705847

Now, the crazy thing is that I religously do a search for "PDP-11" for newly 
listed items on eBait at least once a day - and this never showed up! I just 
did a search for sold "PDP-11" items, and it's not showing up there either - 
although a search for sold "PDP-11 parts" turns it up!
 
Anyone have any idea why it didn't turn up? That is a regular '-', not an mdash 
or anything, and those are 1's, not lower-case l's. And it does show up in the 
search for "PDP-11 parts". So I can only conclude that somehow eBait's search 
function blew out somehow?

Anyway, someone got a total steal: at least _3_ H960's, a TU10, and an -11/45 
(can't tell if there's an FP11) - and who knows what else is hidden!
