Using eBay for family history

So, I've been watching several of my rare surnames on eBay for quite a while. Specifically, I keep tabs on hennessee, scollick, deisinger, quickel and huiatt.  This can be found under "My eBay" and "Searches I follow." I did find a photo of my Scollick grandpa on eBay awhile back.  And I've come across a couple Quickel medicine bottles that a cousin once sold.  I kind of wish I had tried harder for the winning bid on one of the bottles because I have a thing for glass, but apparently others wanted them more than me.  This morning, I woke up to this notification: DOVER TWP. PA 1866 WILL RELEASE JOHN QUICKEL FAMILY MOSEBROOK & UPP FAMILY.  That link may not work for you if the item is sold.  Basically it is a will release for John Quickel, naming his wife and children.  The images include four pages, so I assume that is everything.  

The edge is cut off a bit, but you can actually read it.  It didn't take much searching to determine that this my ancestor.  My fourth great-grandfather.  I should probably chalk over the $40+ to purchase the item, but...I also went to familysearch to look at probate records there.  I looked at the index for York county, Pennsylvania probate records, 1683-1994.  York county is where many Quickels hail from, but there are only a couple pages of Quickels.  I found the record easily for John Quickel. This is the actual will.  Or more like a record of the will.  I noticed a bunch of words spelled wrong that had a line under them.  I imagine someone copied it word for word (misspellings and all) and then underlined the misspellings so we would know that it was how the original was spelled.  I don't think the will gave me any more information than the the will release.  I really need to study probate more to understand how this whole process works.

I did find a new individual that was not in my records.  I'm pretty excited about this!  The will lists his oldest daughter.  Catherine Quickel, married to Conrad Schwein.  I did look at familysearch and there is a Catherine listed, but no marriage.  I really enjoy making these families more complete. 

So, eBay led me to some new information.  I could have easily found this on my own, looking at the probate records through familysearch.  So many families to search, so little time!
