From the authors website:

Lynn's book, The 100 Best Things I've Sold on eBay, is an entertaining, touching, and inspiring chronicle of the author's most memorable eBay adventures. As Lynn weaves memories of her time with her grandmother into stories about the items she has sold on eBay, she creates a book that is partly a memoir of the woman who inspired and brought together her entire family and partly a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to succeed at online auctions. Through it all, Lynn's fresh and enthusiastic voice keeps the tone upbeat

Good stuff, wise words of advice from Lynn's Granny, interesting stories of an eBay seller. Format is nice, get an antiques lesson without getting bored, learn ups and down of selling on eBay and in brick-n-mortar store.

This book reminds you that anything can sell on eBay regardless if you bought it for pennies or thousands of dollars. The book walks you through Lynn Dralle's memory lane of best sellers. Everyone should keep pictures of their best sellers to look back at when sales are sluggish.

I recommend this book.
Lynn Dralle The Queen of Auctions writes a very good book made up of stories of her first 100 best things she's sold on ebay. This book has been such a success she's written a second and is working on her third. the book is written so that you can read a story or two at a time. Great for taking with you to read while you wait in line. It is an inspiring book for those who are thinking about going into the eBay auction business.

This book goes through saying the items she sold on ebay. It gives the date listed how many bids, the discription she wrote, what the opening price was what is sold for, and where it went. Then on the adjoining page it gives a story on how she found the item and a little snip about her grandmother. Her grand mother was an antiques dealer and knew a ton about it! Some way or antoher she incredibly puts her grandmother somehow into her story about the auction. She is quite a genius. And I have to say I have all her books and I have learned a TON. Just by reading these books you can learn what sells what doesn't and what to look for at those great and amazing garage sales. Very Very good book and I highly recommend it!

I purchased this book after having stumbled across the second in the series, which is very similar to this one. If you've sold on ebay for very long, then you know that there are times when you might go through a stretch where things aren't selling, or you're selling too many items at your opening bid, or your sources for new merchandise seem to hit a dry spell - and your feet hurt from running from place to place - it can be downright discouraging and you wonder if it's even worth the few dollars! That's where I was when I first read this book - and her stories about what she'd sold, and where it was from, really inspired me to get back out there - to get excited about looking for merchandise and listing again. Not only that, she's got lots of the good tips that we all know and then ignore, sprinkled throughout, not to mention some great ideas about how a business should be run (thanks to her grandmother); what kinds of profit margins to consider striving for (helps you walk away from the little time wasters), and ideas for things to look for outside your normal inventory specialty. If you want a fun, inspiring read that will energize you about selling online, then this is for you! It has an easy to read "chapter stories" format that you can pick up and put down - just a page or two at a time if you want to. All in all, a fun read for the new or experienced ebayer.

I liked the book. I thought it would be a little more 'how to'. Otherwise, it was very interesting to see what and how she sold.

love this book--inspired me to make ebay a stay at home business for me!! it is amazing what you can find and yard sales and thrift stores and stuff sitting around the house that are worth so much and can bring you some extra money in. Also very entertaining to read

What a fun read. Good ideas for things to sell on Ebay. Informative on very eclectic mix of items sold and touching stories about the author's Grandmother. Every turn of the page is one short story, so a great book to carry with you on the run for short spurts of reading.

I LOVE this book! Everytime I read it-numerous times now-I ALWAYS find something new to implement into my business! This lady knows her stuff! If you sell on Ebay-you NEED this book!

I borrowed this book from my local Library and just loved the way it was written and the layout was also good. Lynn Dralle is very informative and not afraid to share her knowledge about Ebay with others. This book has been extremely helpful for me. I was lucky to find a copy to purchase at a very reasonable price on Ebay and was a must have for my Library.

I like that she shows all the items she was able to sell on ebay, it gives me lots of ideas...BUT she inherited most things from her grandmother's antique store, so of course they would be sellable. Not your average way to obtain product for the normal person trying to sell for a profit on ebay.
I liked her up-beat style.

It's a very good read. It is interesting, informative and heart-warming at the same time. I just received it yesterday and cannot put it down. I feel like I've learned some helpful things from Lynn's trial and error. I appreciate her candid thoughts and the hard work she's done both in learning the best methods for herself and then generously passing it on. Thanks! I can't wait to go to garage sales with a new "eye".

I just love her series of "Money Making Madness" books. You get to hear personal stories of how she came by the items she lists on eBay and how little she paid to how big the profit is from selling on eBay. More often than not, the stories are very heartwarming. As a fellow seller on eBay (Inspiring4u2) I am always so inspired by Lynn! I highly recommend her books!

bought this book on a trial basis to learn more about selling on ebay I am mostly a buyer and thi s time I wanted to see what it was as a seller

This is a poorly done book. Some of the articles were ok, but most got boring. The pictures are all in black and white with no detail, some were blurred and you couldn't make out the item. I bought this book used and I will pass it on. This is not a keeper.
