They just give you ideas of how to find the merchandise. This book is a terrific resource for people wanting to sell on eBay. It gives some great ideas but do not expect a list of wholesale stores.
This book provided both. Already do some business on Ebay and have good luck but am always looking for advice on how to use it better as well as how to find great products to sell. As with anything which talks about the online world, some of the resources and tips won't work for you today (at least as well as they did) but I found the book excellent in that it made me think about using Ebay in a totally new way which has really helped my bottom line there, even in this nutty economy. My aunt got this book when she was unable to work for a couple of months and was looking for a way to make some extra money. I was looking for the same result, so I borrowed it.
don't waste your money. The only thing that made me felt good is that I was in the right track, but really, you don't need this book to figure out where to buy stuff to sell on Ebay. At the same time I purchased another book about EBAY, How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay: Kick-Start Your Home-Based Business in Just Thirty Days by Adam Ginsberg, and that is really an EXCELENT BOOK, if you feel you need to understand how EBAY works, the book by Ginsberg is a much better choice. I'm a new EBAY member (never purchased or sold anything on Ebay) I purchased this book to get more "insider information", well, I read it and to be honest I already knew all the TIPS, where to find stuff. With my common sense and short business experience I had already figure it out.
Gave me some good ideas for making money, but more importantly, how I can manage all the listings and shipping issues.This is a little more work than some might think. Had heard about people doing well with Ebay, so I decided to give it a shot.Got this book and found it very helpful in explaining how the "big boys" on Ebay do things. It's definitely not a turnkey business that will run on its own, and the competition is stiff, but if you're looking to supplement your income, it's a great way to do it. I have been a fan of email for about ten years. Have used to to clear clutter from my house as well as purchase everything from electronics to clothing.With the changing economy, I've been looking for ways to supplement my income.
For example, resources such as Andale.com have been completely changed/revamped. Despite the outdated resources in the book, this book does give the average eBay seller a good number of hints and insider tips in regards to buying/locating your "niche merchandise".
That simply does not exist for the average seller on eBay. Just don't expect receiving a top-secret wholesale directory with dirt-cheap items.
Some of the resources listed in the book are outdated. Other recommended sites such as Liquidation.com have generated tons of negative reviews from eBay veterans (search for Liquidation review in eBay guides).
Leave that to the major corporations like Walmart. This is rather surprising considering the fact that the book was only published in 2007.
Sites such as Wholesale411.com are filled with tons of spam.
