Just like stumbling across a treasure on ebay, I happened to see this book at a bookstore and immediately took the "buy now" option. I absolutely love this book! It has great photos; they look like real rooms from real homes - not stuffy staged shots. I have bought a few things off of ebay but I really didn't know the extent of the home décor items available. This book list "power sellers" whom have good ratings and sell great home decorating items. This book addresses shipping issues, relevant decorating tips, and do-it-yourself projects. I highly recommend this book.

I love browsing on eBay, but hadn't thought about using it in my decorating efforts. This book opens your eyes to the wealth of objects (often one-of-a-kind) on the auction site that you can use to transform your home.
For beginning eBay users, the book covers registration and tips for browsing and buying so you get the most for your money. It includes a buyers guide with lists of power sellers and the types of things you can count on them to offer. This is reassuring if you are nervous about making your first purchases.
Anyway, this book is a great alternative to searching flea markets and estate sales looking for great deals for your home.

I am in the process of decorating my new apartment and thought this book would be a great idea. Not only are the photos of poor quality but the so-called decor is awful. I do not recommend this book for anyone who wishes to decorate stylishly. Also, the book is not that informative about buying on eBay.
