5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about selling collectibles on eBay!, June 7, 2006

This review is from: How to Sell Antiques and Collectibles on eBay... And Make a Fortune! (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!!!

This review is from: How to Sell Antiques and Collectibles on eBay... And Make a Fortune! (Paperback)
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!
