With a title like "make a fortune....." I expected the book to be written by a guy who says "hey, I have been doing this for years, this is my primary income, I am a power seller, and here are some things that are helpful."
The book started out as "i don't want to waste my time or yours..." but that is exactly what he did. It was the most drwan out book on eBay ever. It was gearded towards people that :
1. Have never seen a computer
2. have never turned on a comupter
3. Have no clue what an auction is
4. Can't read a computer screen.
5. Can't navigate websites logically.
6. Don't have a clue on the very basic tools needed to operate a business or a P&L report.
I gave it two stars becuse there were a COUPLE of things that some poeple might find helpful, and it has an extensive index for a quick reference.
A COUPLE of the "tips" were mildly helpful.
I have only bought and sold about 10 things on eBay, so i am no expert on it, but 99% of the things in this book can be firgured out by any monkey with a 90 I.Q.
When I read an Ebay book, Here is what I want to read:
1. I want an author that has sold extensively on Ebay and makes a living at it.
2. Several Biographies of other people and the products they sell and why. not just "hey rare and antique items sell well!"...we know that already.
3. common mistakes that people make in key words and what key words are statistically more prone to "hits".
4. information on drop-shipping. is it realistic, who does it?
5. Real-life examples of things that consistently sell (new and used)and why.
7. The biggest mistakes that rookies make.
I will sum up this book
1. Experiment with key words
2. research what sells online
3. try to price it right
4. take care of your customers
5. If you want to make money..be serious about it.
DUH!
