This review is from: Buying & Selling Antiques and Collectibles on eBay (Buying & Selling on Ebay) (Paperback)
I have nearly 1,000 positive feedbacks on my eBay account, but I am amazed at how much I have learned from this book. There is so much information for every level of buyer and seller, I really don't see how you can expect to succeed without THIS wonderful book. In addition to being interesting reading, Ms. Wiggins says things that few other people say out loud. Interested to know what I am referring to? Then buy this book and find out.
