Modified search string for E-Bay Parts

Jim Kilday · February 2010

Some time ago some computer-savvy wizard developed a special string that searched E-Bay Parts and Accessories but excluded the long lists of products that are repeated and add literally hundreds of parts to the Results. I have been using that string to search but more and more of these repeats show which makes the search process time-consuming and boring.

Could the person that wrote that string bring it up to date.

I freely admit I am computer illiterate.

Thank you.

Here's one that Rick Clark (of our group) devised recently, to filter out all that useless "one size fits all" junk that's being hawked on Ebay, supposedly for Hudsons:

http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=%28Terraplane%2C%20Hudson%29%20-antenna%20-muffler%20-%22grab%20handle%22%20-%22tire%20cover%22%20-%22brake%20hoses%22%20-%22window%20storage%20bag%22%20-%22car%20cover%22%20-driving%20-tow%20-receiver%20-tip%20-filter%20-air%20-shackle%20-patch%20-tie%20-shaft&_trkparms=65%253A10%257C39%253A1&_sop=10&_pgn=1&_trksid=m194&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSRCHX:SRCH You should also hit the tab for AUCTIONS ONLY, that helps.

Here's a search device for Hudsons that someone devised over at AACA. It looks through Ebay, Craigslists across the country, and gosh knows what else.... http://www2.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi?cat=cp&itm=hudson&loc=&fil=&ys=&ye=&ps=&pe=&pgs=100&submit=++++go++++

If either or both of these work for you, you might want to bookmark them so you don't have to search for them in the future.

Thanks, Fellas--these are the cat's whiskers!!! Just what I needed.

One thing I've been finding annoying is that Guy that's been posting a string of twenty or thirty ads, under Hudson parts ,all for the same antenna !!

What's up with that? (maybe I can somehow eliminate his ads from my search queries)?

Here's the one that developed, it targets specific sellers and not parts by name.

Hudson Newly Listed

Hudson Highest First

These filter out all the car covers, bic lighters, antennas and all the other useless crap that people deem essential for an old car owner to have. Let me know if you need any refinements and I'll make them for you.
