'The eBay Price Guide: What Sells for What (in Every Category!)' by Julia Wilkinson is a 550+ page behemoth of a book that lists everything that eBay sells and how much you can expect to get for it. From electronics to baseball cards to cloths to whatever you can think of (as long as it is legal), if you are a heavy eBay seller and quickly want to get an idea of how much your trinket will sell for, or if you are in the midst of creating/maintaining an online store, this guide is a wonderful reference for you!!

This book is all about facts and figures. Not much content other than the items you are interested in and how much they will sell for. This is one of those 'niche' books that fits its use perfectly. If your 'use' is to find out how much to list your item on eBay for, you've come to the right place!!

**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I used to go online and spend time searching closed auctions on eBay to get an idea of prices --now I just pick up Julia's book. As an eBay trading assistant, I also use it to show consignors the expected value of an item.

It is also a handy guide to eBay categories. I can look them up in the table of contents instead of paging through the eBay files trying to figure out where to put something.

As a buyer it helps me figure out the best place to put my bid.

Whether you are a buyer or a seller you will find this book valuable.

Handy guide to eBay prices, with useful introductions to product categories to give you a good grounding. Keep a copy in your car when searching for inventory at yard-sales and auctions.

I mainly use this book for inspiration as a quick reference point for what things are worth. When I take this book into someone's house and quote off some prices...I get allot of happy screams of joy.

Get this book....and get happy

This is one of my favorite ebay books, just love it. A must for anyone who lives and breathes ebay 24/7

Whether you're a frequent Ebay seller or only dabble from time to time, every Ebay seller knows that setting prices is central to gaining a successful bid. The Ebay Price Guide: What Sells For What (In Every Category!) is the first reference to compile an array of items and their selling prices, from rare books to video games and jewelry. While it can't possibly hold every item ever listed, it does compile the most popular collectibles, and comes form an online auctioneer whose expertise covers some of the most trafficked Ebay categories. Each category's average sales price is listed along with high and average prices. Introductions to each section include risk assessments, tips on discounting, locating items on other venues, and more. It's a 'bible' no avid Ebay seller or buyer should be without.

Although this compilation of items is a good start, it is not so thorough as to eliminate the need to browse e-bay for a more accurate idea of pricing. But, it's a good place to start and a great gift for any e-bay aficionado!

I was a little bit disappointed in this book. It did not have in it what I was looking for. I guess it was a bit much of me to think that this book would be all inclusive of every item listed on eBay.
