  My grandfather was a millionaire and didnt know it
Review created: 10/02/06
14 of 15 people found this review helpful.

My grandfather died 2 years before ebay was a glint in Pierre Omidars eyes, and when he died his house was filled with what the neighbors and friends and family called junk.

Now years later after they called the dumpster and had everything thrown away I still make searches for things I know he had in his garage and cringe with a gut wrenching sigh as I see that he was easily a millionaire a couple times over and didnt know it.

The ebay phenomenon has shown that another mans junk is truly another mans treasure.

Buy this book and adopt my philosophy. "Don't throw it out till you check it out on ebay" from junky radios, to old playing cards there might just be a fortune in your attic and this book will show you how to collect that fortune.

  One man's Trash, REALLY IS another man's treasure!
Review created: 09/19/06
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I know you all have heard the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure". For most people its just a phrase, but if you bought this book, its a real motto to live by. For me it all started with a motherboard pulled from a computer i found on the side of the road. I was planning on keeping it and building a computer, then i realized i did not have the time to dink around with it. I thought to myself, hey people buy some pretty strange stuff on Ebay, so why don't i try and sell it on there. 3 Hours after i posted it on, Someone put a bid on it for $10.00. It really made me excited, here i am thinking wow, someone put a bid on an item and i even wrote that it was untested. That's when this book comes in to play. Teaching you your ways in and out of Ebay, helping you find your way around, what grabs the human eye, catchy titles for your item, how to trust that the ending bid really will end up being what the product is really worth.

I was driving through town one day, and i live in a college town. Alot of college students come and go, alot of things get tossed out due to them not wanting stuff, or just simply getting evicted. This leaves a big opening for you to put different things on ebay. But one day i found the most easy way to make a really awesome income. I saw this sign right in the middle of town up on the side of a pawn shop! This sign read in big bold letters "CD'S $1.00 EA." That's when i really used information from this book! I walked in my first time, and i bought 10 popular selling CD's that were USED! I placed all of them on Ebay that same night, and the first one sold, and someone payed $10.00 for just that ONE CD! That means that the other nine are PURE PROFIT! The first CD, PAYED for the other nine CDS! I could not believe my eyes, THAT IS OVER DOUBLE what i payed for those CD's. I started posting them 4 at a time, and was EASILY selling them $5.00 a cd. Making that extra $20.00 a week, I was paying off my credit card, taking my wife out to eat, buying my kids toys. If that PROFIT is not a part of your budget, then theoretically, you can afford to spend that PROFIT.

If you want to make money with little or no time invested, and not invest a ton of money into programs, ALL YOU NEED is just this book, and that old saying you used to hear all the time "One Man's Trash, Is Another Man's Treasure.." Because it really can be your treasure, there are so many collector's out there, or people just looking for a childhood memory, that are sometimes willing to pay more then what it's worth. This is because you cannot put a price on an old childhood memory. My dad buys his milk from a local Farm Fresh store, they sell their milk in glass bottles that look just like the old fashioned milk bottles that came in glass bottles. He bought the milk, inside the glass bottle for about $3.00. Someone who was a member on Ebay, bought the bottle, without milk in it, for $20.00. Now i know your thinking no way! Who would buy that, for $20.00! It is crazy, Ebay is not just some auction website that does not work and just want's your money. EBAY IS a place of auction that will either find you the BEST dang deal you can get on the entire internet, or be your ultimate power-selling, profit-making, supplemental income! My wife was watching me sell, She started getting fascinated at how i was selling those CD's And Decided to give it a try, She sold a closet of maternity clothes! Please, I am telling you, Buy THIS BOOK, it pay's for itself!

Review created: 01/10/07

This book might be too basic for some of the more experienced sellers.
I found a lot of helpful info in this book. There were tips and techniques that I would not have thought of on my own.
If your thinking about selling on ebay this is a good book to read.

The book is a little out of date (with the present ebay actions but is was helpful in that it contains a lot of information on how to determint values, post your item, get paid for it, ship it, etc. I have read it and will probably put it back on ebay for someone else to purchase.
