    Also, try: Chambers Gas Stove, Chambers Gas range, Chambers Stove, Chambers Gas Stove, Chambers Oven and Chambers Gas Oven. Another way to search is common mis-spellings and typos...Chamber, Chambee...

    Yes don't forget the spelling variations, including incorrect ones.

    Last year I was selling a whole bunch of Waterford crystal champagne flutes (year 2000 series) on eBay. I made a mistake and spelled the word Millennium wrong. I only used one "n."

    Well it turns out that if you only used one N, you got 30% more cash for your flutes than if you spelled it right. Why? To the searcher who couldn't spell (lots of them) it appeared that there were very few of these flutes for sale (when in fact if they could spell correctly, they'd have seen that there were many available). So in a classic case of supply and demand, too many dollars chasing too few goods, prices went up. That effect is unlikely to happen with Chambers ranges, so what you'll find is that "Chamber" products will generally go for much less on eBay because all of us Chambers fanatics won't see them. Only the few (and now all of you reading this) will see them, and there'll be fewer bidders, thus lower prices.

    When doing an ebay search for some reason I've found it necessary to have multiple searches for the same item. Must be how the seller classifies the item.
    For Chambers we use the following:

    Chambers - all cat
    Chambers - Antiques
    Chambers gas range - major appliances
    Chambers gas range - all cat
    Chambers stove - all cat

    That's how we found Matty in Lowracers back yard. Hope this helps.
