The book does assume you already know how to sell on ebay, I didnt. I know ebay has information on this but I would prefer to read it from a book, that is why I brought this. However, the book is a good read. just dont expect to learn the whole process from it.

This is a book written by and for Americans. It was written a few years ago and has not been updated. it will not give you the knowledge required to make a fortune on eBay - in fact it's an open secret that the only people who make a fortune out of selling on eBay are the shareholders of eBay! On the other hand the book is a relaxed read and I came away knowing at least two useful things which were new to me. Is it worth reading? Yes. Is it worth buying for a tenner? No.

Everything you need to know about selling collectibles on eBay!
7 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
I've purchased several books on Amazon.com and while a lot of them were very good, I've never felt compelled to write a review. Then I purchased and read "How to Sell Antiques and Collectibles on eBay...And Make a Fortune!" by Lynn Dralle and Dennis Prince. This book is FANTASTIC!!! I had started an eBay business from home a few months before buying the book and was filled with questions...this book answered them all! It covers everything from how to set up your home office to choosing a business name & business plan to how much to spend at Garage Sales, etc. It is filled with amazing tips and tricks (for instance, Lynn gives you a website that helps you identify almost any china pattern which is invaluable when researching your item to post on ebay).
Not only is the book overwhelmingly thorough, but Ms. Dralle also includes her email address just in case you have further questions. You're probably wondering if she would actually respond to your emails and the answer is, "YES!" I was having a problem with one of my customers and I wasn't quite sure how to handle it, so after much deliberation I decided to email Lynn. In less than 24 hours I received a response to my email with some very good advice which I promptly followed. I can honestly say that her advice was right on target! It worked perfectly and the customer gave me excellent feedback! So in short, if you are considering selling antiques and collectibles on eBay, this book is a must-have!!!

I loved this book! Very easy to read and follow, very nicely laid out, and packed full of valuable information! I started right in garage-saleing on Saturday mornings, and made nearly $300 NET PROFIT in the first month! Not bad for a new ebay hobby! I couldn't have done it without this book. Absolutely FABULOUS book, and I'm having a great time practicing what I learned!
