Asbestos Historical Products and Literature - Searching

The question is why search for asbestos on okay. The answer is for product liability cases, professional interests, research into the over 3,000 asbestos usages or the desire to collect something that has proven to be a unique physical paradox.
As a buyer I use two approaches. The first approach is what I consider to be the shotgun approach and that is to go to the Advanced Searchpage andin the keyword section type in the word asbestos check the search title and description box and then click Search. The search should be performed in All Categories but that is already selected for you.1,000 to 2,000 items should return with theitems closingsoon or ending soonestlisted first.
If you use this approach on a daily or every-other-day search then the easiest thing to is just search the first page or two of ending soonest to make sure that you did not miss an item. Some of those 3-day or 5-day listings can sneak past you. After you are gefortable with theitems that areclosing soon then I would change the search to list the newly listedand scan the items and stop when youreach an item that you have seen from your previous days search.
The problem with the shotgun effect is that you have hundreds of listings that do not pertain to the purpose of your search, historical asbestos products or product literarture. Items such as brake pads (as either asbestos or non-asbestos containing and inlcuding those on radio controlled cars) and water filters (ones that filter out asbestos). So you may want tocustomize your search options by typing in the exclude these words section 'pad' and/or 'filter'. The down side to this is that any historical product information that has the word pad, such as ironing pad or table pad, may be missed orasbestos disc filters used in the laboratory.

I still use the shotgun approach. What I havedone different is to use the favorites searchfor other key items and get the daily notifications for these items.I do not use'asbestos' because then I wouldreceive hundreds of new listings. The terms I use are: Johns-Manville, chrysotile or amiante (more on thatone later). Then I get severaldaily updates of one to ten items that were just listed.

Those are the two approaches tohunt for asbestos products and product literature using the word asbestos and related topics. You can expand on that bysearching withwords that are related to asbestos. I mentioned Johns Manville,you may also search numerous other manufacturers such as Flintkote or Keasbey
