On an Ebay Auction - Does putting *LOOK* in the title actually make anyone look at the listing?

So many Ebay auction title's the seller puts: LOOK at the end, like a command. Often they dress it up like: L@@K or ^^LOOK^^! That seems to be a waste of precious letters to me. I would think it would make more sense to further describe the item. Does anyone know if putting "LOOK" actually helps raise your page views? Has their been any actual research on this or does anyone have any personal experience that it works or doesn't?

    I'd just go with 'if everyone does it, what would make anyone look at mine in particular?' The same with putting 'rare' in the title. A good description, any unique things and a decent price are good attractors for any item, I'd think? Stay with Basics.

    The only word that has proven research results behind it is the word FREE. People respond to 'free' and that's why you see it in many advertisements in magazines, newspapers, or tv commercials. "Get your FREE one month's supply now!"
