I would like to see what items were out there if I wanted to buy a studio setup. What I have done in the past was buy 3 ghostboards, a colored posterboard of my choice and a large slap of plexi-glass. I would set the whiteboards up back and left and right, put the colored posterboard on bottom then put the plexiglass on top of it then place my subject in the middle of the display, which was underneath a dual 40 inch long hanging UV lights. But I seen something like this here [link]

and was wondering is there any terminology I can type in the ebay search or something to help me list some small studio setups for sale? Any advice, tips, etc or should I just stick with my jimmy-riged idea and try to difuse my new external flash using bounced flash or couple sheets of white paper, hehe.

You are probably better off making your own setup for shooting small items.If you get a large enough piece of paper you can curve it so as to appear "seamless" and use that as a background. One or tow small flashes should be enough to light most everything. Use cardboard to reflect the light or block the light. You may want to get a couple lightstands.
