Ebay tip

[Gaz46&2]

I don't know if anyone else knows this or not. But I think its pretty handy.

On ebay next to the search button and under the shopping trolley in the top right corner is an advanced search. Within advanced search is a field to exclude a word from the search results for example: repro

It's quite useful for cutting out all those horrible reproduction listings.

Actually, I just may have found an easier way to do the same thing.

In the search bar can type in -repro and/or -replica after whatever you happen to be searching for.
For example: vintage star wars blaster -repro -replica

Ebay should now list all items without repro or replica blasters etc.

Id imagine many of the seasoned pro collectors know about this function but thanks for sharing, makes searching much easier for sure.

Gotta find it funny that your search shows the guy who's selling all these "suspect" leia blasters :lol:

Also funny that almost every other weapon is twice the going rate when his Leia blasters are about half. Anyone would think they were repro....

I agree It's not fool proof. But better than 8000 listings to sift through.

Works on most search formats including Google.
