model T ebay

What topic do you use to look for random model T stuff on ebay? I've been using "Model T parts and accessories" and getting a LOT of screwy parts that have nothing to do with Model T's

It has gotten so bad that the best place to look for GM parts is on the Model T and Flathead Ford descriptions. They can't sell their garbage with honest descriptions so they mess up the Ford sites.

I use ebay motors, put "Model T" in quotes and then (minus) -matchbox, -cogri and others to shorten the list.

I use Ford Model T -fits, -Hudson, -Chevrolet
After pulling the listings up looking on the left side of the screen decide if you want to see only new, used or recondition parts or all of those, if you want to see North America or just USA and click those boxes.
I then save that search clicking the shut off email notifications, the save window is in the header right over the listings. (on desktop anyway)
This pretty much cuts out the sellers that use every key word under the sun in the specification section.
Then add that search to saved favorites in the drop down or header or open from My eBay saved searches.
This will cut out a lot of stuff you don't want to see. Playing around before saving you can also remove sellers you don't want to see.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

You need to use the Advanced search because eBay Motors doesn't appear in the main drop down
Remember that Tesla has a Model T so your going to get that too. If you add FORD then you may miss entries that don't include that word

These are the selections I use, and then hit the SEARCH button on the bottom of the page.
USED is almost necessary to eliminate Bucket T products. Optionally you can put quotes around Model T & then it doesn't make any difference on what Keyword Options you select

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

(Model T Ford)
(26-27 Model T Ford) if you want to hone it in a bit. (choose your closest model year)
use the filters to see only used items. if you have new items you end up getting lots of stuff.

I use: Ford Model T vintage car and truck parts. True, it gets all the Junk Ads of parts that are later than a Model T and even parts that aren't even Ford, but it let's me see almost everything Model T so I miss very little, if any.

Do you put Model T in quotes “ “, or in brackets ( )? Both were mentioned. I would think that listing Model T Ford… would omit a lot of non-Model T things such as Tesla.

Just
Model T ford
Usually pops up in parts and accessories.
Use the filter options and check the used box
Then you get thousands of model t parts minus 2 thousand aluminum T bucket radiators. Lol
