2.0 out of 5 stars
you should not need this book,
By
This review is from: Online Auctions @ eBay, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
There is little here that an eBay user, buyer or seller, cannot quickly figure out. In large part because of eBay's careful design of its website.Certainly, Prince has a commonsense approach, and you can't fault his ideas. But a simpler approach may be just to buy or sell a few low priced items. From these auctions, and those of similar items, you will quickly get experience. Cheaper than shelling out for this book. Well, ok, if you really need handholding. But tips like the usefulness of providing an image of the item if you are selling it? And how to best take such (digital) photos? Mundane.
5.0 out of 5 stars
