We do not have ebay in New Zealand. the closest one is Australia. The
site you inserted above simply opens up the USA ebay. We have a rough
equivalent called TradeMe here and they never seem to sell parts of
anything. Only whole articles, sometimes accessories.
I did not particularly want to purchase through an agency like ebay
overseas because of the shipping costs. But I may have to. Thanks
for your help.
