Editorial Review:

Ripped from the headlines of the New York Times, Fake describes Kenneth Walton's innocent beginnings as a lawyer turned online art-trading hobbyist, whose satisfaction in reselling thrift store paintings for a profit soon became a fierce addiction to eBay. In a landscape peopled with colorful eccentrics hoping to score museum-quality paintings at bargain prices, Walton entered into a partnership with con man Ken Fetterman. Over the course of eighteen months they managed to take in hundreds of thousands of dollars by selling forged paintings and bidding on their own auctions to drive up the prices. When their deception was discovered and made international headlines, Walton found himself stalked by reporters and federal agents while Fetterman went on the lam, sparking a nationwide FBI manhunt.

In this sensational story of the seductive power of greed, Kenneth Walton breaks his silence for the first time and details the international scandal that forever changed the way eBay does business.

Editorial Review:

You can't make money on eBay unless you've got stuff to sell. Here's how (and where) to get it.

The chief concerns of any retail operation are where to get inventory and how to get the best prices and terms. These are ongoing business challenges that apply as much to eBay sellers as to traditional retailers. eBay Inventory the Smart Way is the first book to look exclusively at the most profitable strategies for finding reliable suppliers and marketable products. Readers will learn how to:

* form relationships with wholesalers and obtain dealer status * finance purchases, manage inventory better, and use just-in-time delivery strategies * increase profits with drop shipping and co-op advertising * deal directly with manufacturers and wholesalers, "work" trade shows, and take advantage of trade organizations * research product sales potential, buy closeout merchandise, and tap into pawnbrokers' inventories * and even buy inventory on eBay

eBay Inventory the Smart Way covers more than 25 inventory sources and tells how to profit from each. Whether buying in bulk, sourcing one item at a time, or establishing a powerful inventory management system, both established online retailers and newcomers will find this book indispensable.

Book Should Be Called "eBay 101" Instead 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I was disappointed in this book because it made me believe that it would be about Yahoo! and Google equally with eBay. However, this book was all about eBay with a tiny sprinkling of Yahoo! and Google here and there -- certainly not enough to include Yahoo! and Google in the title of the book. The book has 29 chapters. It doesn't stop talking about eBay until Chapter 21 then resumes its eBay discussion in Chapter 29.

The book should have been called "eBay 101" or "eBay for Not-So-Dumb Dummies." It does have good information for a complete eBay newbie but I would recommend other books for the non-eBay savvy newcomer like Adam Ginsberg's book: How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay or eBay Powerseller Secrets by Debra and Brad Schepp. In fact, those two books I just mentioned alone should be all you need to get started if you want to make money on eBay.

Pass on this book. It's a rip off. The title is not appropriate and designed to deceive people into believing that the book will give you a strong online selling strategy with a successful mix of eBay, Yahoo!, and Google when that isn't the case. It's all about eBay with a few words dropped in here and there about Yahoo! and Google.

Solid Delivery - A Roadmap to Online Car Sales Success 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Seperating itself from the common herd of the predictable, the uncreative,and the average, Eddie Coleman's Mastering The Art of Selling Cars Online is a complete manual on how to establish and run an EXTRAORDINARY Internet Department or Business Development Center in the automotive industry. Having established three startup online operations myself, and having researched and integrated hundreds of portions of dozens of the best processes, I am grateful to have had these ideas at my disposal during my third enterprise, which is the most successful one for me to date. This guide has been a lifesaver in helping me with very important processes and actions, providing me with an effective foundation of information for business admin, marketing approaches, goals planning, and decision-making. Eddie Coleman himself is a friendly, personable, down-to-earth true 'Master' of the Art, and has selflessly provided his time and advice to help take this operation from a mere idea to an unstoppable force in the region in less than three months. This Business Development Center, utilizing Eddie Coleman's system, has exploded onto the North Florida scene and has competitors in four states trying to mimic us - I even have customers driving in from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. I guarantee you nobody else is getting those results from their internet department! Great book, great system, great author!
