It's actually pretty easy to check if any auctions occur with certain keywords in them, Dorothy. You get an email if any auction matches those keywords, I believe. Linda uses Effingham and various other words so she doesn't miss them, huh, cousin. You'll get hits for Effingham boots and the Effingham in Georgia occasionally...so some won't be relevant.

Yep, I have two separate searches. One for "Effingham" and one for "Illinois". With those two searches, I get just about everything that pertains to Effingham and the local area. I also have a search for "Jasper" because some of my people lived on the border between Effingham and Jasper Counties. I get an email from Ebay whenever any of those keywords show up. You'd be surprised what all I've amassed over the years. Soda pop bottles from the Effingham Bottling Company, bottles from Underriner's Drug Store, dairy bottles from the area, post cards.....well you get the idea......as well as genealogy stuff. One thing still eludes me.....I need a quart milk bottle from Koester's Dairy....and yes, I have a search for "Koester" <grin> I have the creamer, 1/2 pint and pint....still need the quart.
