Although I am far from a newbie with electronc games, I am new at searching for them on ebay. My area of expertise is with vintage toys made by companies like Remco, Mego, AHI, Tomland, Lincoln and many others but I am coming up a bit short with search words while searching for games on ebay. Now I know most dont want to give up their secrets but help a guy out and let me know what some good search words are for handhelds. How about if I say pretty please? Laughing

The quickest way to find the more common games is to just search for the manufacturer name in either the
'Handheld Games' category:
http://tinyurl.com/36k9cu
or the 'Vintage Games' category:
http://tinyurl.com/359h2c

Go to one of those (especially the Handheld one) and type (or copy/paste) this in the search bar:
(mattel,coleco,entex,grandstand,gakken,actronics,bambino,epoch)

Exactly as it appears there (parenthesis and all). That will list everything by those manufacturers in those categories. That will produce a lot of results for you to start with... You can of course change the keys words to suit what you are after...

That should get you started... If you want to start looking in international markets, that presents even more challenges...
