These search strings give you different results:
OM-2
OM-2n
OM 2n

As far as I can tell, when you search on "OM-2", the engine only gives you 
results where the "2" is followed by a space.  That's why
you find
"OM-2"
but not
"OM-2n"

Sellers get around this by listing a subject line this way:

OM-2 OM-2n OM Olympus not 3 3T 3Ti

If someone searches either of those ways, they "find" the auction.  In fact, if 
they search on "3Ti", then find it too and that's
the whole point.

As a buyer, you can get around this several ways.  You can do a search, then 
create a "Favorite" for it.  Then do another search and
create a "Favorite" for that.  Next week, you'll have a set of "Favorites" 
ready to go.  It makes it much easier to keep yourself
out of trouble by not bidding.

When you're creating a "Favorite" remember to create it on the first page.  If 
you go to the second page of results and create a
"Favorite" there, your "Favorite" will always skip the first page of results!

Have fun but don't be too eager.  There's a lot of equipment out there and as 
people migrate to digital, there just may be a flood
of 35mm stuff available.  Prices may start falling so never, ever think that 
you have "one last chance" to buy a black OM-2n!!
