The e-Auction Insider: Get the Most Out of Your Online
Experience!
by Dave Taylor, Susan M. Cooney
Amazon.com
While it doesn't share any real inside information about Internet auction sites,
such as might be gleaned from the leader of such a site, The e-Auction Insider has
a lot to say about buying and selling online. Authors Dave Taylor and Susan M. Cooney
(Taylor runs iTrack.com, the auction-monitoring site) give advice on getting the best
price for an item that you're selling and dealing with shark-like, last-second
bidders--also known as snipers--when you're buying. They also detail how to contact the
other parties in your transactions and the proper use of escrow services. Although a
sizable section is devoted to each of the main general-interest auction sites--eBay,
Amazon.com, and Yahoo! Auctions--the emphasis falls solidly on eBay. Readers might wish
for more coverage of variants on the auction theme, such as Priceline.com. review by Amazon.com Click on picture to order
