Review

"Here is a way to gain hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollar worth of on-line auction and eBay experience...for the price of one book. The hardest part of eBay is trying to learn all the multi-functions available to you from reading help screens. This book will teach you step by step how to run successful auctions...from your first time out. Mike Baker has helped me many times and the advice and expertise I have gotten from him is literally invaluable. This book will pay for itself many, many times over." -- Michael Ward,'eBay: Mikejay'

"We have found that Mike's book, is very informative on how to get started and how easy it is to get around on E-Bay.

We've been selling for a little over a year and found that reading Mike's book, and using his ideas in the book, has increased our sales a lot." -- Walt and Sue Klamp,'eBay: sawit'

About the Author

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mike Baker, I am one of the leading sellers on eBay(tm) right now but it wasn't always this way. Let me tell you a little about myself so you can better understand who I am. I am 39 years old and have a great wife and four children who I adore dearly. I live in a little town by the name of Springdale, Arkansas with a population of around 38,000. I spent a lot of my life in the Military (Army) just over 13 years of it. I have been in business for myself, I have worked on production lines punching a time card everyday from 7 to 3:30 I have even worked on a chicken farm gathering eggs everyday 7 days a week. So, see I am nothing special just an ordinary person like everyone else. This is what I want you to remember as you are reading this book. I want you to say to yourself, if he can do it I know I can! That is one of the main reasons I wrote this book. The book is to help you understand that ordinary people just like you and! me can and do become successful. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or already rich to start with. You just have to have the want, the desire, and someone to help point you in the right direction.

In the last 2 years I have been selling on eBayTM I have received over 4500 Positive Feedbacks and have made over 10,000 transactions. This success has made me one of the leading sellers on eBay

As I said I wrote this book because I want to really help you become as successful on eBayTM as I have. This book will show you exactly how to get your auction up, place it, and get maximum exposure every time on every auction.

There is no doubt in my mind that if you read and use the methods and tools I have provided for you in this book you will become successful on eBayTM.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and $$, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Strike It Rich on Ebay: The World's Largest Online Internet Auction Site (Paperback)

Not useful at all. You could learn everything in this book by clicking around ebay for half an hour. The author claims over 10000 ebay transactions but does not even reveal his ebay ID!

1.0 out of 5 stars The WORST book of ANY kind I have EVER read., October 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Strike It Rich on Ebay: The World's Largest Online Internet Auction Site (Paperback)

1000 words is not enough to accurately convey the depths to which I was appalled by how horribly written, useless, and completely overpriced this book is. First, the type is double-spaced which in itself isn't a reason to hate the book, but it doesn't help since the entirety of the book is roughly 80 pages. Second, the writing is so bad that I was actually ANGERED. A high-school freshman could have proofread that book and done a better job. Finally, there was no information in the entire book that could not be derived from common sense and information found directly on the eBay site. I bought this book at the local B&N, and I promptly returned it the next day. This book is by far the worst book I have ever seen, and I would gladly advise anyone against purchasing it.

1.0 out of 5 stars ! - STAY AWAY! WORSE BOOK EVER- !, November 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Strike It Rich on Ebay: The World's Largest Online Internet Auction Site (Paperback)

Please for the love of god get rid of this book. Amazon should pull this book and sue the author/publisher for false advertisment and false identification.

I can gurantee most if not all of those 5 star ratings are either by the author or family members.

Geez grow up mike and learn to write proper english.

AVOID THIS BOOK LIKE THE PLAUGUE! Petition Amazon to remove this book from their list.
