Homebrew PCBs

Hi Alan,
    What search words/terms do you use  to find PCB material on E-Bay.
I've used PCB, Printed Circuit board and PC Board and have come up wth mostly crap.
Any search hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
    Kevin Lavigne

     This is one thing where Ebay can really be your friend.  I've gotten some 
  very good deals, and seen some even better ones that I didn't get.  Like 40 12" 
  x 16" double sided sheets for $10.  It's not always that good but don't go nuts 
  bidding high either, there will be more next week.  The normal is more like 10 
  or 20 sheets in the 12" x 12" range for $10-$20.  Even after shipping it's far 
  cheaper than a store, but you do have to be willing to wait a week or so if 
  needed to see a reasonable deal, sometimes there's not much on for sale.  Also 
  pay attention to thickness, some are very thin lamination sheets etc.  That's 
  actually what I prefer for my mostly smaller SMT boards, but if you need 
  strength then you have to watch for .050 or .069 etc.  And more than a few of 
  these deals have been brand new boards in retail packaging.
