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

By	Wylie Ziegler (Milford, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars If you know nothing about eBay this is great, March 14, 2006

By	Richard Hohn "Rixtar" (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are fresh off of the boat and just discovered that eBay may permit you to cash out on some of your own stuff this book is great. If you think you will replace your current income by becoming an eBAy seller...don't quit your day job...yet. Although this book has information that can assist in helping the new eBayer it offers nothing new for the experienced seller. If you are new get this book if not don't.
