Small Scale Military Headquarters

What search words do you use on EBay when trying to find 21st Century XD or BBI Elite Force 1:18 scale figures? I have tried the following searches with very little results.

XD
Xtreme Detail
Elite Force
1:18

I've seen alot of XD stuff list under "ultimate soldier". Also try specifics items first, then narrow the search to "toys and hobbies" or "action figures". I'm trying to find a decent first series XD German officer. So, I do a search of "german officer" in action figures.

And try to use obscure search terms to. Meaning - if the seller doesn't know what they have, they may mislabel it, giving you a better chance at getting a good deal.

I find that 1/18, 1:18 and 1 18 will give you different results.
Also, 21st Century Toys or a variation of the words.
People that sell the 1/18 XD tank and vehicles that haven't a clue what type of tank or vehicle it is usually put 21st Century Toys in the title or description.
It really is trial and error.
Good luck

I always use the title of the item first, (Jeep, Tank, Truck), then narrow it to class 1/6 or 1/18 or 4", 3 3/4" or 12". Or I get alot of hits in "Ultimate Soldier".

People selling what we want sometimes have no idea what they have. I found my Hasbro M-8 Armored Car listed as "Tank". I've found 1/18 21C items listed as "G.I. Joe".

Most people on eBay are dopes. All they see are dollar signs and they lie. They lie about everything from condition to liberal use of the term NIB to "smoke free home".

There are gents on eBay, don't get me wrong. Today I received a $4 return and the seller simply said "Postage didn't come out as much as I estimated" even though his listing just gave me a flat figure for postage.
Last week I received a uniform from a "smoke free home" that reeked so badly from smoke I had to leave it outside for 5 days before the smell died down. Go figure
