I say "sealed", as I don't mind if they are mint on card, some kind of blister card or mail-away. Since a lot of Joes from the last 15 years are considered vintage but aren't the original O-Rings I was curious what search terms are the best. Ebay really need a 1982-1994 sub-category.

Searching by years and version of character helps, like one of the following:
- unopened 84 Cobra Commander
- 1984 Cobra Commander sealed
- Cobra Commander v2 mail away

chad_ghost has the best ideas here. Somewhat less effective but possibles would include "RAH" for "Real American Hero", or "Original" or possibly "Vintage".

A lot of people might not know this, you can rule certain words out of your searches. I imagine your problem is that you search for "MOC GIJoe" and get a ton hits on the 25th Anniversary stuff. So take the anniversary stuff out.

MOC GIJoe -25th

The minus sign will leave everything with "25th" in the title off the search.

MOC GIJoe = 4,278 listings
MOC GIJoe -25th = 334 listings

You can add additional "subtractions" as you look through the searches. "-200" will remove anything that has a year in the listing of 2000 to 2009. "-201" will remove 2010 through now. Try it out, it makes this so much nicer to look for vintage items.

Holy "LASER BLAST".
I've been using ebay for 16 years now, and I never knew about this.

Thanks for the info! :like:

The same for me. I did not know you could do that with eBay. If ever there were a "did you know?" that deserved to be pinned it's this little factoid. Thank you, kind sir! :)
