Format:Paperback
I've read a few so-called guides to eBay and collectibles which were simply a waste of money - rapidly written and simply stating the bleeding obvious to make a fast buck - but not so this one! As a regular casual eBay seller and buyer, I found Lorne's many tips of the trade useful and well-researched, as was her advice on boot sales and antiques fairs etc. The book is well-written too. She obviously knows her stuff and her enthusiasm and knowledge shines through - I would recommend this book to any eBayer or boot-saler.
