My guess is that every half hour he scans pages like
http://listings.ebay.com/aw/plistings/newtoday/all/category15200/index.html
which are updated about 30 minutes after listing and 30 minutes before
being searchable, and have BIN icons.

Laws are the spider's webs which,
if anything small falls into them they ensnare it,
but large things break through and escape.
--Solon, statesman (c.638-c558 BCE)
I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the rights of
the people by the gradual and silent encroachments of those in
power than by violent and sudden usurpations. -James Madison,
fourth US president (1751-1836)
