I've gotten a few good results for Tiki Mug, usually Tikki and TikiMug as one word. My coworker collects Star Wars stuff and he finds Storm Trooper stuff misspelled all the time. Make sure not to click the box so it only shows the misspellings. Some words are often misspelled like "Diamond". You can find good deals on "daimond" rings. There may be people out there misspelling things on purpose to trick people into thinking they are getting a deal, but others are just dyslexic.

I thought the very same thing when I saw the "Dimond" example. I would be very wary about buying what I thought was a diamond when the auction misspells the word. Sometimes fake diamonds are given names like "diamonique" or something like that.

Yeah, if you do a search for just "TIKI" you'll get a ton of results. It works better if you search Tiki Mug, or Tiki Vase etc... I found one listed as Tike Vase. You never know what'll turn up.
