Hi all: I bought a box of 25 of the 2" square music box "innards"--the little windup things you put into toys and dolls, I guess. They all work fine and play for about 3 minutes. They cover everything from The Skater's Waltz to Mary Had a Little Lamb to O Promise Me. I've looked at ebay categories and am thinking somewhere in toys and hobbies, hobbies and crafts, etc. But am I overlooking something better?!

Oh, and is there some official word to use when describing these besides "mechanism"?

The correct term is Music Box Movements.

You might have some luck using this auction as a guide:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1081868047

I would go with category 7273: Collectibles: Decorative & Holiday: Decorative by Theme: Music Boxes-Contemporary

Hope you didn't pay too much for them.....

There is a subcategory called "wind-up," but the first place that came to mind was crafts to my way of thinking. A craft is something you make, so a wind-up music mechanism should go in crafts. Or would it be more obvious to list it under music boxes? Hmmmm, I lost one several years ago out of a Josef figure Maybe I should watch for your auction!!

good luck
