Lynn Dralle here. My ten year old son read these reviews and wanted to add his opinion. We decided to just type in what he had written for a book report about this book last year. Thanks for reading. This book is put together from a hundred little stories. Each story has a description, what she paid, what the winning bid was, where she got it, when it ended, how many bids there were, what she started it at, what the reserve was, where it ended up, and a heartfelt story. This whole book is very very very heartwarming. This is one of the best books ever made by man or woman. By, Houston, Lynn's son 10 years old 4th grade P.S This book rules!!!!Read full review
I find myself going back over and over this book, and its companion books. I'm getting a more solid mental picture of what to look for when I'm on my hunting trip. Got this for me, my eBay friend, my mother.... If you want to learn How to eBay, try this author's courses or another of her books, The Unofficial Guide... Some things have changed on eBay since it was written, but still very applicable and will help avoid major pitfalls.
I have been buying on ebay for years and dabbled in selling when I would find something at home to sell. This last bout of unemployment, due to being laid off yet again, had me looking for things to sell not only at home, but at garage sales and thrift stores. I didn't need another "how to" book. I already knew the basics. I also didn't want a book that was selling me a system. When I came across MONEY MAKING MADNESS at Village Books (in the Fairhaven district of Bellingham, Lynn's hometown) I thought it might be what I needed. My mom was always telling me about Cheryl Leaf Antiques and how she loved that store so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!. It is inspiring and motivating as well as educational. I learned to write better listings from example. I also had an idea of what to look for when I went "saling." The best part was the wonderfull stories that went with each auction. I bought the first "100..." from queenofauctions and am quickly devouring it too. Can't wait for the third installment due out at the end of July!Read full review
It was a fun read and I liked all of the different things she found to sell on ebay. I found it very interesting. At the same time I would have liked more information about actually using ebay. The author has classes for sale on ebay, so in essence she would be losing money for giving this information away.
I also enjoyed reading this book as well. Lynn also wrote me a message when she sent this book to me as well. Her success stories are so wonderful and they inspired me to improve my ebay business with I Sold It. This book is such a wonderful read and I highley recomened this book to any one who is friends with Lynn like I am or any one who loves to read about famliy and auction success!
