I got a new book from the library titled "Confessions of an Internet Auction Junkie" by Michael Weber. It's by a seller on ebay about his experiences, and he goes into more detail about how to find and market merchandise than the general ebay books do. He talks about what to do once you've cleaned out your closets.
In his case he hooked up with a manufacturer of a product and made a deal that they would drop-ship the orders he sold on ebay. He talks about ways to find wholesalers, set up a web page to coincide with auction business, etc.
It's pretty up to date, but probably about 3 months old since he characterizes PayPal as free. What interested me was his bragging that he had a whopping 237 FB rating at time of writing. Well, I may not have a merchant account and my own web site, but I have 300 more points than that! ; - )

Probably a "vanity" produced book. I don't believe a major publisher would waste their time with a book by someone so inexperienced, plus no serious seller would be telling the how to's which took him years to learn.
Of course a dumb dumb may have though there was a great deal of money in authoring books ! HA HA HA - guess they have learned now!
And why would anyone want to take the advice of someone so inexperienced?

A little off topic. but I went in to look at what a Premiere account was all about and they automatically upgraded me. What a sleazy, sneaky way to do it!
