Reader Reviews
This book is very useful. The best coverage for me: - ebay scams (in particular bid rigging - shilling) - interpretation of feedback (in particular assessing the likely risk to you). - auction timing - presenting information - legitimate use of multiple IDs The information on sourcing is more up for debate. Some of the comments are overstated (e.g. bargains hard to find at yard sells). In general sellers are more knowledgeable, as they are on ebay. However, many people selling through ebay or garage sells are doing so to rid themselves of items. There are some people who run "weekly" sells that sacrifice volume for profit. The author is spot on in his comments about dumpster diving though (if anything legal, health and security risks are understated in the current climate). Like the ebay hacks book, some of the information wont be new to most ebayer's. It is mostly original and well worth reading. It's not very technical in style and should be of benefit to new ebayers and old hands. I learnt alot. This book should pay for itself, this is the best test, for me, of any eBay book.
