Summary: If You've Sold On Ebay, This Isn't For You!
Review: I was truly dissapointed in this book. As an Ebay seller with a feedback of over 400, I wanted to find a book that would help me increase my sales and give me some great ideas and resources.Not only was there no new information in there, it was information that anyone who did any research on their would have already found using the internet and Ebay itself. Out of all the reviews of all the books about Auctions out there, this one looked like the best for people who were already using Ebay. It's not. If you're 100% new to Ebay and you don't have time to do a lot of research on your own, it's a great reference. Otherwise, I'd suggest putting the money this book costs into your piggy bank.

Summary: I'm done!
Review: I'm already done Christmas shopping. Like that guy in the commercials. All accomplished within the warm, cozy, friendly confines of home! This is especially excellent when one lives in the Tundra and has obviated the need for shopping forays over the frozen river and through the woods to the mall. Through ice and snow. Barefoot. Uphill both ways, coming and going. Some information in this book is outdated and you would do better to go through eBay's on-line tutorial and Newbie BB. Still, this book has very helpful additional info. Like its subtitle says: "Bid with confidence, Sell with success." In the beginning of the book, there was (to me, at least,) way too boring text on how to buy or borrow hardware and software to connect one's self to the Internet so as to avail one's self of eBay. You can take a nap or skip that if you're already here and reading this. So far in my preliminary shopping saga, I have shed the Cheap Sunglasses (which serve to caution other eBayers encountering one so identified: "Newbie alert! Newbie alert! This eBayer has yet to establish recognition!") Mr. Prince's book is helpful and humorous - who wants to read a dry old text, anyway? And even if, like me, you are not a Seller, the "how-to's" for Sellers here help a Buyer understand some of the "tricks of the trade" some Sellers, or even competing Buyers, may use on the unwary. And there's a section on that insidious, ubiquitous Sniping. Yikes! Forewarned is forearmed, and Prince's book gives you what you need for the Battle. Bid on! Reviewed by TundraVision

Summary: Great book! Easy to read, lots of great insights.
Review: Mr. Prince has done a great job of providing a treasure chest full of detailed hints and how-to's for current and prospective eBay buyers & sellers. This is an easy, enjoyable book to read. The balance of how-to details, helpful hints, and personal insights and experiences are blended just right to keep the material fresh and interesting. An impressive amount of information is covered at a very reasonable cost. Great job, keep up the good work!

Summary: Not just thorough, but fun!
Review: Smooth writing style and a lot of the author's own experience. I consider this book an excellent and essential companion to mine (Collector's Guide to Buying, Selling, and Trading on the Internet - ISBN 1-57432-112-9) for a thorough education about online auction sites. I like Dennis' gusty approach to eBay, and his insight! Well worth the price. Wonderful learning tool.

Summary: Dennis Price will Make a Winner out of You!
Review: This book is for anyone who wants to be a casual ebay participant, or for hard core buyers and sellers. There is detailed information for both beginners and seasoned users to aid in the online auction experience. Dennis makes this book easy to read, with simplified explanations and a great sense of humor. All of your feelings of fear, ignorance and being overwhelmed with the auction process online will be put to rest after reading this book. No stone goes unturned. The price is a bargain. I have read other online auction books which were a waste of time and money...however, there is not one individual who will not be pleasantly surprised and satisfied by "Online Auctions at eBay". I have just completed my first auction at eBay after reading this book....Results: I was the high bidder out of 170 bids. I WON!!! Need I say more.

Summary: Words, words, words.
Review: This book takes nearly 500 pages to say what I think needs less than 100 pages. Padding is a serious problem with many books.

Summary: If you want to indulge in eBay this is the book you need.
Review: This is a BIG book ... but Dennis Prince makes it enjoyable & easy to understand. He is obviously an auction "junkie" and has explored this venue to its very depths. If you can think of a question about buying or selling on eBay, he has already put the answer in this book. Using his techniques I have already successfully bid a couple of auctions & I was able to create an attractive, successful auction of my own. His advise on designing auctions, what to include, how to display it, even some code to make it look nicer, is right on. He also gives excellent advise on how to conduct the correspondence needed when running an auction & in general, how to be a good eBay participant. If you want to get into online auctions ... this is where you want to start.
