When surfing ebay for 1:64 shit what are the keywords that you use? Right now I am limited to the standard

Bit Char
Microsizer
Zip Zap

Any input would be appreciated

Zip Zaps
ZipZaps
Bit Char-g
BitChar-g
BitCharge
Microsizers
Micro Sizers
Microsizer
Micro Rc
Micro Mini
Nakamichi micro
Shen Qi Wei
Rally Racer

Spaces & plurals matter when searching, you can type "ZipZap" and get 20 hits, then type "Zipzaps" and get 30 hits, it all depends on how the seller spells the advertised title. Just use different combos to make sure.

Hey DT, you search rally racers did you see the lot of 15 that sold for $30 incl shipping? It was a good deal but he woudn't email me about shipping to Canada.

A few times i've tried 1/64 and got something out of it.

Cool DT, I never tried 'Micro Sizers' with a space. The listing might come up when I enter 'micro' and 'car' like I sometimes do, but if the seller didn't put 'car' in thier heading, then it wouldn't. The search feature seems to apply only to the headings of the listings.

I get different hits with rc and r/c along with 'micro' and 'mini' or whatever. That slash doesn't seem to act like a space or anything on E-Bay, it's a legit character.
Also, for the first time today, I put in radio control along with 'micro' or 'mini', and got 2 new listings I havn't seen.

Don't forget the amazing search secret - incorrect spelling. For example:

Mirco

Also guys, has anyone installed the E-Bay Toolbar? It's pretty cool...has alerts for watching and bidding, and a quick search option. But best of all, and the real reason I'm mentioning it, is the option to search 'Titles' or 'Titles and Descriptions'!! Very cool, especially for the sellers who list stuff under "mirco".
Perhaps the search option is available without the toolbar, I never checked.

You can save any Searches in "My Ebay" if you have a favorite you go up to the corner of the first search page and it will have a link 'save to favorites and it will do it automatically if you click on it.

All that can be done in my eBay.
