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!!!

I've been selling on ebay for about a year and have read numerous books on ebay. How to Sell Antiques and Collectibles on ebay....and Make a Fortune....is the Best book I've come across. A lot of the other books on ebay...contain information you could find on the ebay website. This book is different...got a lot of great tips about selling in the most popular catagories, ect.

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!

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.

This book contains a great variety of information about using eBay, but it is not geared to the novice eBay user. The book addresses those wishing to use eBay as an antique/collectible sales business, and for those folks, it is a good book.

Lynn,

I recently bought your book How to sell Antiques and collectable's on ebay. I love it. I have already read half way through it and will be finished by this weekend. This book has a wealth of information. This is a must have book for anyone who is thinking of getting into the antique and collectables market on ebay. Without this information it would be close to impossible to get started without prior knowlege of both ebay and antiques and collectables.
Thanks, :)

Finally an eBay power seller that tells the secrets of what it takes to be really successful on eBay!! This book is packed with helpful ideas and hints on how to establish a business and get top dollar for your items at on-line auctions! I can't wait to put these ideas into action. Another book by the same author is captivating--how she has been successful in selling on-line, tied to the touching history of her family's antique business. This book is "The 100 Best Things I've Sold on eBay". A great read!

An easy read and a book that truly draws your interest to product searching for antiques. Lynn draws on family experience honed from many years with her grandmother who was an expert on antiques. I highly recommend this book for anyone hoping to expand their knowledge in this genre.

As someone who sells antiques I expected this book to give me information on how to sell antiques - on ebay. Instead, this book is primarily focused on what I already know, the basics on how to identify and sell antiques, followed by some very basic info on posting them on ebay. Very disappointing.

Like ALL of Lynn's books, this one is just excellent. It clearly explains topics and links you to other information. This book is a must for eBay selling. You won't be disappointed!
