FINALLY …. A book that actually helps me! I highly recommend this book. I have been going to yard sales and flea-markets for years but I never knew how much I was missing. The “Good Better Best” guide to name brand items is a great research tool. The sourcing guide has great places to buy and sell items – I never thought of going to some of these places but now I will give them a try.
I like that they do not try to fool you into believing that you are going to be a millionaire like a lot of the eBay books on the market. The information they give really works, it is easy and does not cost anything to start – so there is nothing to lose to try. The best part about this book is the stories. They are fun, informative and show you what to do and what not to do.

My husband and I have been selling on ebay for about three years now, and we’re always looking for new information to help improve our business. This book gave us a lot of great ideas which we put into action the first week after reading. It’s an easy book to read and understand, and we both couldn’t put it down until we were finished reading. If you’re not into ebay, it also gives great advise on other avenues for selling your goods. Buy this book, you’ll be pleased!

This is a great book that I recommend. I purchased the book for the guide but it provided so much more. I have been selling on eBay part time but was always in need of things to sell – NO MORE. Thanks to this book, my husband and I went to our first storage shed auction (recommended by the authors) and we purchased one full of great things. Inside the shed we purchased are some great antiques, some very nice china, some English porcelain figurines, tools but the best was a jewelry box. The jewelry box had 2 14kt gold necklaces and a 14kt gold ring with a beautiful ruby. It also was filled with tons of very nice costume jewelry! We are going to make a ton of money off this one purchase – thank you Daren and Nancy for this wonderful book – I Bought it – I’m selling it – and I am MAKING MONEY — YA

I am very excited about this book – I have only had it for two weeks and I have already made back three times the money of what I paid for the book! The advice is straightforward and the Good, Better, Best guide in the back helps me find the right items to buy so I don’t make mistakes or miss opportunities. This is not one of those get-rich-quick books -that tells people to invest in real estate or the stock market. This is a great book about reselling (or Being a Flipster) everyday items and luxury items -that can be found at auctions, garage sales and flea-markets. I started out with just $10.00 on my first trip and was able to buy great stuff for resale. ! It is very exciting to be able to buy something and then resell it for a profit. It is like going to Las Vegas and pulling down the arm on a winning slot machine – but you win EVERYTIME

I really enjoyed reading this book – it provides useful information on how to buy smartly and invest in your purchases instead of just buying things because some ad on TV tells you to do so. I think any person who buys things to resell or is planning on trying that business must have this book! However, you do not have to be an eBay seller to get beneficial tips from this book. I do not plan to buy items for resell – yet, I found their information practical and helpful for my everyday life. The information is presented in an easy to read and understand format – conversational and actually very entertaining.

This is more than a college text and it’s of value to working professionals as well as to professors who want to provide a course that brings real world e-commerce issues into their curriculum.What sets this book apart for the classroom is the web site that supports the book. This site has subscription services (using the access code that is provided on a card inside the book), which includes book chapters, tutorials, streaming video lectures and more), and instructor services that provide lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations and a test bank. There are also resources that are open to the general public that are valuable and provide e-commerce news, business plans, and research articles. I like the way that the WWW is integrated into a traditional paper book to provide a comprehensive learning tool that is always up to date and evolving.For the working professional the material in the book (and associated web site) is applicable to real world issues. What impresses me the most is how the authors manage to comprehensively address topics in business, technology and social issues in 600 pages. Each section and each topic appears to be carefully selected to impart maximum knowledge on the key issues. For example, the descriptions, case studies and key concepts in Chapter 2, E-commerce Business Models and Concepts, hits all of the salient points. Another example, in Chapter 4, Building an E-commerce Web Site, is a discussion of the value of 100% uptime. These are topics business and IT professionals are struggling with, and it’s refreshing to see them included in a college text book.As an IT consultant I found this book to be better than most I’ve read, and highly recommend it to business and IT professionals because it digs deep below the surface and uncovers the real issues. If you are an instructor or professor this book will allow you to prepare your students for the challenges that they will face on the job – and do so in an interesting manner.

I have used this textbook for several years – while it is a good basic source of information, it badly needs updating and supplementation in several important areas: RFID is not mentioned; Mobile/hand set E-Commerce is covered at a surface level, Search Engine and major Portal marketing needs updating, and much of the data are 3+ years old – very old given the rapid changes taking place.
If you are teaching an E-Commerce course from a Marketing perspective, with this book as the base, be prepared to suppement this textbook with books such as Spychips, and student subscriptions to WSJ or NY Times. Ad Age is another excellent supplementary information source.
This is one of the few areas in business where the textbook should be updated every 2 years.
Note from Spring 07 – the newer edition is better but still requires supplementation on areas auch as RFID and security.

This is a college level text book that is actually interesting. It is very well written and most importantly, it is NOT boring. It’s amazing how easy it is to read such a large book in a short amount of time when the book is well written. You will be able to actually design and learn how to host your own E-Commerce web site after reading this book. And it’s a lot less expensive than you might think. This book is expensive but well worth it with excellent print and illustrations. It’s easy to see that a lot of work went into this gigantic hardbound masterpiece.

I have used this book in a course I teach in a Web Development Curriculum at a Community College. The material is directly on target with many examples and case studies. Some of the end of chapter projects indicate sites that are no longer operational and the book’s web site does not list that in its errata section but should. The inclusion of lots of statistical material on electronic commerce is excellent.

I teach several E-commerce Courses at a University. I am using this book in an introductory E-commerce course in a graduate MBA Program. It is great! It covers e-commerce from A to Z. It contains case studies for all of the chapters to give practical experience to each of the topics as well as well described and graphical presentations of the material. I highly recommend this book either for personal study or for course study of e-commerce.
