[Robert Murphy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I though it was a pretty decent read for the given topic. It had a lot of tips and tricks on what to say and what not to say as well as things like how to take the best pictures.

It wasn't anything that was riveting, fresh, and exciting but if you are into eBay or thinking about trying out eBay then this books should serve you well as you get started.
