2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing but not disaster, 17 Mar 2000
By tal@gazeta.pl (Warsow, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Online Auctions at EBay (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I wanted to know a lot of things about eBay. Unfortunately I couldn't find them in this book. First: almost everything you can read in this book, you can as well read in eBay itself. I know as much about bidding, selling before and after reading. The book contais almost 500 pages! hhy so many! 100 would be enough.... I still don't know anything about the founders and history, about people of eBay. "Some people started their own business one eBay" writes author. OK, and...? Nothing. How they started, did they suceeded? and so on and so on. But if you have no idea at all what is ebay and prefer to read 500 hundred pages instead of spending three hours .. and reading principles - buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A rose that emerges amidst the dung pile of ebay books, 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have just recently finished this book. While 90% of this information can be gleaned from the ebay site itself for the patient learner; the remaining 10% was worth the price of admission. Three areas were very appreciated. The controversy of sniping, timing of auction listings, and more importantly the author's real examples of what I call the "rules of engagement" with the other party. All of these examples can only be shared by someone with quite a bit of experience. You will find in this well organized, exhaustive book that Mr Prince has passion for his subject matter which while can get a little wordy at times is appreciated none-the-less. Two months ago I discovered ebay. Once hooked my focus has been very specific. How can I run this part time as a business? Of the multiple resources I have aquired this work is the only one that attempts to answer my question. The only thing I felt it should have had was a reference cd in the back with all of the great "boilerplate" letters.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is Great Book for the Novice at eBay, 21 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Online Auctions at EBay (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
"Online Auctions at eBay, Bid with Confidence, Sell with Success" is a big book (in both meanings). Mr. Dennis L. Prince makes it enjoyable and easy to understand. This is the book with smooth writing style and a lot of the author's own experience. The book is really well written, with a valuable how-to-do it information, simplified explanations, and a good sense of humor. But, as I see, that would be a valuable reference mostly for beginners. If you are new to eBay, then this is a must-have. This book is for anyone who wants to become a casual eBay participant, both for buyers and sellers.

This book is an excellent companion not for the eBay buyers and sellers only, but also for a thorough education about others online auction sites. After finishing this book I use obtained knowledge in my bids at other online auctions, for example, at the best Russian online auction Molotok.ru. And now I know some people in Moscow who are making business through online auctions. But I think people can figure it out without the use of any book.
