Good information on reselling items on eBay, Amazon, etsy, etc. It's an easy quick read. Great tips and hints. Keep in mind you are not going to get rich quick reselling. It takes work and time. What is hot and selling today may be dead tomorrow. What was selling a year ago for $1000 may be selling now for $10. I bought some items based on suggestions in the book of what is hot and didn't sell a one of them. I've bought some items that the books said not to buy, and then sold them and made some decent money on them.
You don't need to read every book on reselling. Read a few and take what is useful to you. Read them all and you will see MANY similarities in their information. You can still get something out of them, but don't feel the need to read all of them.
There is a lot of good information in this book. She answered many of my questions that I have about starting a home based business using eBay. I highlighted many areas that I will go back and revisit.
