Titanium eBay by Skip Mcgrath (2006, Paperback)

Skip gives some great advice and reminds us of some common sense business practices in his stellar book, Titanium eBay. His methods and business models/ideas will help propel anyone who puts them into practice. As another reviewer commented I do wish he would put into action everything he preaches. However, it's true that some people are meant to teach. Skip really blesses us with some eBay secrets, tips, and pointers. I truly recommend this book for anyone who's looking to start selling no matter how big or small!

As of this writing, Skip McGrath is a Powerseller. No, he's not a "Titanium" seller (at least not most of the time), but how could he be? Here is a man who knows how to market and sell and that is exactly what he does.

This book will tell you how to source new product and market it effectively to reach whatever level you are trying to attain if you only simply follow the steps. Beware though, some concepts have dated since the book went through it's 2nd printing. Overall though, this is the book for the more Internet savy among us who want to take advantage of international sourcing opportunities and off-eBay marketing.

Skip himself is not a titanium power seller simply because he's too busy making his fortune writing good helpful books that thousands of us read across a spectrum of eBay topics for one thing. He dabbles in many, many other ventures to pad his fortune on and off eBay as well as so many of us who read his newsletters and follow his advice can attest.

Get this book, start reading, and start putting this stuff into practice. Sign up for the newsletter too. You can trust Skip and you'll profit greatly from doing so.

Skip has done it again with another great book. Titanium eBay is a rich and large book loaded with information on how to sell on eBay. I have found this book to be extremely helpful and I reference to it quite often.

Skip covers nearly every detail on becoming a successful seller on eBay, from selling your first item to maintaining a large business, he helps with it all. Along with the complete and easy to read layout of the book, Skip also has special deals with online sales-assistant companys for his book customers, so be sure to look into those.

Overall a very good book and highly recommended for anyone that sells on eBay.

Like many ebay sellers, I've read my share of books on how to succeed in e-commerce. Most of the books were not particularly helpful. They downplayed the difficulties of on-line selling and talked down to the reader.
Then I found Skip McGrath's "Titanium ebay." The glitzy title gave me pause, but the content hooked me almost from page one. McGrath not only delivers a comprehensive and realistic guide to making it on ebay, but his clear and concise advice is equally applicable to bricks-and-mortar businesses of all kinds.
"Titanium ebay" delivers the goods. For more information, check out skipmcgrath.com/titanium.

This book is great, it provides you with alot of valuable information for the average person that is looking to turn ebay into a full income producing business. Skip does not leave any stones un-turned this book has really good me and my ebay business off on the right foot. I recommend this book to anyone that is trying to use ebay to change there lifestyle and provide a steady income for you and your family

When I first started my eBay business not so long ago, I searched through every book on the shelf looking for ones that would offer the most information for someone who has some experience on eBay. I'm not a brand new eBayer - I've been buying and selling off and on for almost 10 years, but now I wanted to start a serious business.
I didn't want a book that told me how to fill out the "sell" form or what to do after I got a payment in Paypal. I wanted strong advice on building a store, how to find products that will sell, how to become a Powerseller, and so on.
I found all this and more in Skip Mcgrath's book. It is chock full of information that I reference again and again. I found his writing straight-forward and easy to read, and he uses real world references to show how to get things done.
I think Skip's strongest chapters are on finding wholesale suppliers and other venues for finding products. He provides many ways to source products, and information on contacting and building relationships with wholesalers, something I think a lot of us are in the dark about.
Skip takes the time to review writing effective auction titles, descriptions and back end emails to ensure your customers get top notch service. I really like how Skip values customer satisfaction - this is something I value as well and I thought he gave a lot of time towards creating a great customer experience.
Overall, if you are considering an eBay business, this is one book that should definitely be on your reference shelf. You will find it useful throughout your eBay career. I credit this book with helping me get to Powerseller status in under a year! (I just made Powerseller yesterday - just waiting for my invitation email!).

After reading many books on the subject of ebay, finally I found one that had good concrete advice, factual info whether it be positive or negative and useful information which I put to use myself. I am now a seller on ebay and have been for awhile and only after reading this book did ebay not seem so complicated. I was then able to take that leap into the world of selling on ebay, I am now rereading the book for the second time to brush up on my selling and seeing if there is anything that I can improve upon. I think you will find this book useful, factual and very reliable with the information gathered in it. Of all the how to books on ebay, this is the one to buy and read.

This is a really useful book if you are alredy familiar with ebay. It gives the right imput to bring your home business to the next level and shift you from a saturday-night-business to a full time organized money making machine. Some of the chapters are so eye opening that you absolutely need to read them if you want to avoid nasty pitfalls. I especially liked the way how Skip underlines the importance to do your own research and do it over and over again. Markets are changing fast and you mimght end up with a huge inventory with unsold stuff if you dont make a precise calculation of what are you going to buy, when, and at what price. All this is explained in the book, step by step. I made myself a little chart, sort of a checklist and now before I purchase a larger inventory I always use Skips checklist to see if the profit will be worth my money and time. I also applied some principles to Yard Sales and it works pretty fine.

i love the book i use to read it in barnes and noble for free for my ebay seller site and some one bought it out the store and i would have been sick without it so i had to buy it i recommend this book as a bible for ebay sellers

This book is geared to the person who is already selling on eBay. So this book doesn't get into setting up an eBay account or the other elementary basic of eBay. Instead it it goes directly to giving advice on how to grow bigger, sell more, sourcing products, advance tactics that will get you to Powerseller status if you keep working at it. While making more profits. This is one of those books that help you sell smarter, not how to work harder.

I've read just about every book out there about selling on eBay and none of them come close to this book. Forget all the others, just buy this one.

I liked the detail across every area that the author covered in setting up one's own ebay business. The author seems to be very knowledgeable and also very helpful to his readers. He lists many of his own personal examples which are very interesting and helpful to read. Some other ebay books that I have read possess a lot of fluff. This book has tremendous information and can be used as a very helpful guide to set up one's ebay business. I have been a part time ebayer for several years and as a part time ebayer, I learned a significant amount of information. The book is laid out very well so the reader can use it as a resource tool.

Mr. Mcgrath has truly written a wonderful book pertaining to eBay sellers. I would classify this book in the "intermediate" range as far as experience as an eBay-er would go. He has also written other very comprehensive books that would fall into the "beginner" and "more advanced" catergories.

The nice thing about the book is that it feels like its written from someone who has just gone and done the tasks he explains how to do, himself. And he has - literally. He is a true eBay seller, and his instructions go right from his real life experiences, it makes it extremely easy to relate to. He explains the complicated terms in everyday language as well, also helpful.

I would rate this book excellent, as have the other folks who have reviewed it. All the subjects in this book you can literally put to use right away!

I received my copy of Titanium eBay by Skip McGrath, and all I have to say is wow. This book has it all! It has tons of info on eBay in the text, it has countless statistics, and it even has web pages printed directly in the book just for your concern! A must-buy for eBay sellers out there.

This is a comprehensive eBay guide, written by an eBay Pro. Skip Mcgrath will take a begginer and form them into a PowerSeller. He tells you how to find items, get repeat customers, and build a great eBay business.

A must read for any eBay sellers, new or old!

The Book does have some really good information for new Ebayers. My only Problem is that I was looking for a "mentor" (someone that has acually been or is a Titanuim Power Seller). What I found was a Advisor. That said, He is better at writing books than he is a Power selling.
