The 45 combo plane is a fairly complex tool, with lots of little pieces and parts. Many of the ones you see for sale on Ebay are missing a key component like a fence or a screw. You can find ones that are complete, but they tend to be a lot more expensive.
IMO, it is easier to find a good rebate plane and plough plane than it is to find a complete and working 45. But YMMV.
