Useful eBay search terms

[bud]

I have noticed how many people always have trouble finding useful modding supplies on eBay. So I have decided to make a compiled list of useful eBay search terms. (mega-sticky plox?)

Tact switches: "tactile push TMS"

Membrane topped tact switches: "PKG50 tactile"

Copper heatsinks (N64): "Copper VGA RAM cooler"

Any size LCD: "TFT LCD" ( be sure to put in which size you want 2.5, 7, etc.)

3.5 inch LCDs: "3.5 TFT LCD"

#2 from Hail's review 3.5 inch LCDs: "3.5 inch TFT rear view LCD"

Consoles on the cheap: Search for "replacement" or "As-is" also "broken" and "for parts or repair" (works for any console really)
A WARNING ABOUT BROKEN AND FOR PARTS OR REPAIR CONSOLES: I have ordered several and some are absolutely broken but most do work. It's a small risk but just keep it in mind when buying.

Third party accessories: "New" (be sure to put in what you are looking for n64 controller, expansion pak, etc.)

The list will be updated periodically, and suggestions are welcome.

THE REPLACEMENT/AS-IS IS ! Thanks you so much.

Better for the squishy tacts, since they have other sizes as well: tactile push TMS

Using 3.5 TFT LCD is a bit broader and will get more results, and still reject most of the crap. TFT LCD works with any size, really. They seem to like advertising that.

When dealing with classic console accessories, NEW is pretty much synonymous with third party.

Added and adjusted. Thanks XCVG

"Parts" and "repair" are also good terms.
