Wow! Is it just me, or does there seem to be a hell of a lot of Mokes & Minis on eBay at the moment?

I'm not sure what you mean..

?? If I type mini in ebay I get anything with the word mini in it. I sort it to cars and it gets down to cars mentioing mini including mini truck toyotas and MINI's.

I'm not a nerd but I got told, and it works

You should type: mini -truck -bike -toyota

put a space after your last word then a minus (-) exactly in front of the word you don't want they don't show up. Hope that makes sense.....

Bit late, but here's my search field entry:
mini -r50 -r51 -r52 -r53 -r54 -r55 -r56 -r57 -r58 -ford -holden -yamaha -bike -bikes -harley -spool -VW -bus -nissan -kart -trailer -boat -camera -desktop -desktop -float -2002 -handlebar -truck -caravan -RV -renthal -drift -keyring -"Brake Lever" -amp -mp3 -ipod -washing -ktm -mopar -ionizer -trash
:mrgreen:
Still get dodgy things like flags and pumps and electrical stuff, though... But not too many spooled diffs or mini trucks. :)

Ebay is such a pain now - you used to be able to browse collector cars easily - now you gotta got through hoops to get there. They are a really a bunch of zubriks!

I had my van on ebay for about a month. But unfortunately i only had a million low blow offers and an email scam. It was sent to my hotmail in bad english asking for my details so someone in the uk could sent their "Agent" to buy it for them. Still amazed people try that crap.
Pretty tempted to pick up a cheap moke and practice my welding. :P

Zubriks! Gotta love it. Haven't heard that for so many years. Used to call work mates zubrik bonces back in the 60's. Thanks for the reminder.

But my pet hate when searching for Minis is mini Boxing gloves, mini Flags, mini bikes etc. etc.
My saved Mini search has run out of exclusions so now I have to suffer. Oh it was so easy when there was only a car and a skirt that related to mini.
