Found this page from some guy on PBnation. Don't know if it's been posted here, but I thought I'd pass it on because I found it to be an amazing resource when searching for parts, gear and/or guns. You can also search for computer parts and other stuff. Here is the link:

yeah no prob. I think the best thing now is that I don't have to open up 4 different forums to go looking for something. I can just type it in and it gives me the post that have the item I'm looking for. The only drawback I can see is that it doesn't open the links in new windows and it doesn't search the text in the post. But other than that it's a great little site. I'm now actually saving time and not mindlessly wondering the forums as much now which is good. :D

Alot of people don't search right. Like they will search for "automag" to find automags. The problem is alot of ad titles don't actually contain the full word a-u-t-o-m-a-g. Instead they will say "x-mag" or "ule'd mag" or some will just have something like "classic rt" or even "tac-one".

If you search for:

agd," mag","mag ",(tac+one)

It will find all ads that have either "agd" in them, or " mag", or "mag ", or both "tac" and "one". Forcing the space before or after the mag filters out people selling Spyder Imagines. Confused? Just try the link:

EVERY automag for sale on EVERY paintball forum in the last month! (http://www.elitedealseeker.com/index.cgi?category=paintball&searchword=agd%2C%22+mag%22%2C%22mag+%22%2C%28tac% 2Bone%29&ageupperlimit=28&function=Search).

Good luck :cheers:

PS: I like it when websites default to "same window" and let "new window" be an option. For example in "Internet Explorer" you can hold shift while you click any link to open it in a new window.

Thank you very much for your input. I use a web browser called SlimBrowser which uses tabs for new sites so it would have been nice to have the pages open up in new tabs.

Still a great resource for those looking to find a good deal. I found a Vlocity for $75 shipped because I used this site.

I still see people mistakenly searching for things like "xmag" and giving up after little results. Not alot of people have exactly x-m-a-g in their ad titles.

I encourage you to try some of these refined searches:

All x-mags, from every forum, in the past month (http://www.elitedealseeker.com/?category=paintball&searchword=%22x-mag%22,%22xmag%22,%22x%20mag%22,%22xmod%22&ageupperlimit=28)

All e-mags, from every forum, in the past month (http://www.elitedealseeker.com/?category=paintball&searchword=%22emag%22,%22e-mag%22,%22e%20mag%22&ageupperlimit=28)

Remember that alot of times the best deals are where a specific item isn't named, like "mags and extras f/s cheap", or gearbag sales where someone's trying to unload alot of stuff fast.

Every type of mag, from every forum, in the past month (http://www.elitedealseeker.com/index.cgi?category=paintball&searchword=agd%2C%22+mag%22%2C%22mag+%22%2C%28tac% 2B%28one%2C1%29%29&ageupperlimit=28&function=Search)

(there's a little bit of noise from the word "magic" here, sorry about that)

And you know what the best way to find deals is? Buying guns that need just a minor fix. People sometimes GIVE THESE AWAY!

All broken/leaky guns, from every forum, in the past month (http://www.elitedealseeker.com/?category=paintball&searchword=brok,leak,%22needs%20a%22,fix,missi&ageupperlimit=28)

Look hard enough, you can find almost anything, for ANY price. Good luck! :cheers:

it looks like it only searches the title. thats fine for markers, but if anyone has a partout or a big sale, it makes it hard to find the part youre looking for, and nearly impossible for a small part.

Thats where you type in Misc. or Part out. Its a bit more searching, but it feels more like you found a treasure when you do find that one part you were looking for. I found a Vlocity for $70 shipped new the other day from this search page because I looked in some of those Misc. for sale threads.
