I got this book hoping for some insights into selling on e-bay, it delivered. Jim Heid and Toby Malina have put together a great book that covers every question I could think of and identified several gotcha's that I hadn't considered. It is fully informative and extraordinarily complete and a must buy book for anyone looking to sell, or buy, on eBay. It is well written, stunningly informative, and a fun read.
