Editorial Reviews

Review

Great Book for Newbies and ProfessionalsRespect to the author. He actually made me download the kindle reader on my phone, which I didn't want to at first. But after reading the description of this book I just had to get it and beside this incredible book is on offer for free at the moment.

After having a deeper look into the book this really separates itself from all the other books about selling and making money online. It actually tells you all the details that you have to consider when planing on selling your products online. Now having read many of these kind of books I can really say this book has got it. It can keep the promise that is made in the title and description.

For those who are completely new in the field of making money on the Internet, I would strongly recommend to you start with this book. It is straight forward and honest and if you keep to the guidelines you will not fail.

5.0 out of 5 stars

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT BOOK! I thoroughly enjoyed the ideas and strategies in this book. If you are a go getter and have some time to hit yard sales, thrift shops, and a few other places the author suggests this book could make you some extra money.
I have always been interested in the scrap metal business. The author describes how he breaks down household items to find metals like copper and gold. Very creative stuff.

From the Author

Thank you for ordering Almost Free Money. I have provided this information to help fellow flippers begin their journey, as I did 10 years and 12,000 items ago. I hope that my experiences are enjoyable and profitable for everyone.

I am confident that that Free Item appendices will be a helpful resource for internet sellers.
Almost Free Money is also available in paperback book and DVD hard copies on Amazon.

The second book in the Almost Free Money series is also now available on Kindle. Check out Garage Sale Superstar for only $1, and learn how to increase profits at your own garage sale or yard sale.

We have over 60 pages of garage sale and scrap metal flipping on our website Garage Sale Academy, and we have lively discussion on our Garage Sale Talk forum and on our Facebook pages for Garage Sale Academy and Almost Free Money.

Enjoy!

"This book is very detailed in telling you how to make money with things that you have in you have in your house. The author teaches a person how to sell things on both Amazon and eBay. Thank you Eric Michael for giving this to readers."

"I downloaded this book right away after seeing the review. I am always trying to earn extra money. However, I never seem to really find the right way of doing it. I think this book will help me do exactly that."

"When I saw this book I was very curious to find out how people can make extra money by selling things they can get for free. It sounded too good to be true, but now I know it is possible, easy to do, and, more importantly, anyone can start their own business like this."

"This is a great book! It contains lots of ideas on how to make money from surprising places, and the resource directory at the back of the book is worth 10x the price of this book all by itself!"

From the Back Cover

Almost Free Money Review: AFM is the flagship of the Almost Free Money series. It teaches readers how to find a huge variety of items to sell for under $1.
The information can be used anywhere in the world, and provides many opportunities and directions, so that readers can select the areas that they are more suited for.
Readers are raving about the 540 item appendix, which lists items that can be found for under $1 (many are free) and sold online. It even provides the eBay categories the items should be listed in to maximize profits. These items can be found in your own home, at garage and yard sales, at thrift stores, or even lying around on curb-sides or in the woods!
Almost Free Money is available in Softcover Book, Digital download, and Kindle formats (the low Kindle price is only for a very short time).
Amazon Reader Review:

"When I saw this book I was very curious to find out how people can make extra money by selling things they can get for free. It sounded too good to be true, but now I know it is possible, easy to do, and, more importantly, anyone can start their own business like this.
I like the fact that the author talks about his own experience and gives details on how he started his business and expanded it. The book is very well structured, easy to read, enjoyable and motivating.
It's a great guide that explains all the steps you need to take in order to find items that people would usually throw away, and sell them on eBay or Amazon.
The author also gives a huge list of items that can bring a generous income, but the best thing is that it teaches the readers how to find their own items and become experts at spotting something that would bring them money. Very helpful and inspiring read!"

As the title states, there is a boat load of information here. Easy enough to read and can be read in one sitting. There is an appendix at the end which has even MORE great websites and even more information! One of the few books that actually 100% delivers and then some. If you want to make some money, or earn enough to make a decent living I truly believe this book, if you APPLY all the info here, will get you there!

Good info especially for a beginner

Our families were raised with a lot of the ways of finding extra money that the author explains.
What I found useful were the simple basics of 'how-to' and additional info at the end if I want to explore more.
It's a good book to help spring-board you in your own areas of interest and accessibility.
Worth the time and cost to read.

Not bad..not great.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I though the reviews for this book were lacking - either rave, over the top or terse and negative.
First, the book is self-published, bare-bones, no illustrations or graphs, you can read the 90 odd pages in an hour or less. I've been scrapping and g-saling for most of my life so I was familiar with all but a couple of the ideas. If you are new to scrapping and finding 'treasure' in the trash and at garage sales you will find more info that is new and you can use. Again, Michael gave me a couple of new ideas but the book could be better. I'd like more specific examples of things to look for because at the least it would just make the book more interesting. Also the author says over and over how he sells such and such for "good money". He could be specific on if that is 2 bucks or 20 or 200. Many of his ideas seem to focus on items which generate very small income - circuit boards or electrical contacts, and battery covers. His info about saving copper pennies is off - 1986 is not the cut off for all copper/bronze cents. It was 1982. If the author were to collaborate with other scrappers in writing such a book it could be substantially improved. Finally a couple of illustrations, photos, tables would be nice. Not a bad book, an easy read, but could be better.

A Good Solid Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2018

I have just re-read this book after - well a good while. I find the first section is full of good ideas for anyone considering this as an extra earner through to a full- time business but bear in mind that for many ideas need a car and plenty of storage. Not for you if you do not drive or live in a flat!

There is one huge section on making money from scrap metals a percentage of which is covered in another of his publications. There are two great 'extra's' here for me and that is that he does address the issue of tax on your business which many authors ignore. I know authors are not tax advisors but sometimes a small reminder that a participant will need to ay tax is needed no matter where you live, and the other excellent part is the Appendix where there is inspiration for everyone as to just what it may be possible to earn money from.

If you want to earn a few extra pounds this is a good starting point.

Informative. I like books. I read a lot. I finish almost all books. If it is total nonsense, then I just close it and leave it... How to write a review on a book? I am not a critic. Some people would like it, some not. If you are looking at this book, because somebody recommended it for you, so buy it and decide by yourself if you like it. If you just going through the list of the books - and think that this title attracts you - buy it and read it! Books are good, they feed your brains, they improve your personality! Read more!
