In my opinion, NOT worth the money.

I was looking for a new source of goods to sell on ebay.  I used to be a Power Seller.  I haven't sold anything on ebay in almost a year.  As a subscriber to Jim Cockrum's newsletter, I found his endorsement of this product.  If Jim endorses something, I feel (felt) you could be sure that it was a quality product.  This one did not live up to Jim's reputation, in my opinion. 

Are you looking for the answers to these questions and more?

What is the best way to get paid (PayPal, escrow, ?)?
How do I make sure I don't get scammed?
How do I go about offering financing?
How do I go about offering shipping?
How do I go about offering warranties?
How do I go about offering Car Fax Reports?
What specific language should I use to insure that I don't make a mistake and commit to something?
How do I build confidence in the buyer so that they know I am legitimate?
What type of photos should I provide?
What other pitfalls should I avoid?
Which kinds of cars sell best? 
Which kinds of cars should I avoid?

I could not find answers to these questions in this document.  This is the information I needed.  I know where to find the cars I'll sell.  I need answers to these questions before I'll list a car on ebay. 

Are you looking for some ideas about where and how to find cars to sell?  Are you looking for a nice, fluffy, "feel-good" story?  You'll get some of that here.  I think you'd be better off to look for "Chicken Soup for Part-Time Car Dealer's Soul."  I'm sure it is cheaper and would leave you more informed and feeling better.   Does anybody know where I can get a copy?

I tried to email the author, but his email address came back to me as undeliverable.  Maybe I typed it wrong.  Maybe is wasn't set up yet.  Maybe this is just a scam.  You'll have to decide for yourself.

At the end of the day, I got nothing for my $24.50 early bird special.  I see the price is now $49.  I wouldn't pay $0.25 for this thing.  I hope my opinions help you to make the best decision for you.  These are just opinions.
