VERY INTERESTING and HELPFUL I agree with Jimmietimmy, that SOME WORDS should be IN ALL CAPS. Vintage 1970 ORIGINAL GI JOE Action Man Figure HASBRO and the s in 1970 is unnecessary since 1970s will show up without wasting the 1 space, if you needed the space.

I'm guilty of using too many useless astrisks and exclamation points. Never thought about it wasting my title so much!

My only criticism is that each word in a title should start with a capital letter and yours did not. Just my observation that by using all small letters it would be easier to pass this listing over in a long list of similar items.

I have a hearing deficiency so I couldn't hear the advice, although I would be very interested in any title advice. I often have trouble with titles.
