eBay Bookselling Research Handed to You on a Silver Platter

"Finally! A Quick and Easy Way For YOU to Immediately Recognize Valuable Children's Books . . . . Without Wasting Time and Money Through Trial and Error or Spending Hours Researching Closed Auctions on eBay!"

Letter from Elaine Krieg Smith

Hi!

I have been selling children's books on eBay since 2000.

In my early days I was often overwhelmed at book sales and thrift stores because of the large number of books.  I knew there were children's books that sold for $30, $50, even hundreds!  But which ones were they? 

I learned by trial and error.  Mostly error.  I brought home stacks of books time and time again only to find that 95% of them were not worth the trouble to list.  Have you ever done this?

Research is key

I soon learned that it made more sense to learn the titles of the valuable books BEFORE I shopped.  I began spending hour after hour looking at closed auctions on eBay until my eyes glazed over. 

It took a long time but I slowly began to learn the titles of the valuable books.  I can now go to a sale and bring back 95% winners. 

I buy far fewer books but make much more profit!

You win, I win

While doing all this research, I discovered that I really love it.  I love to record it, analyze it and organize it.  But the more research I do, the less time I have to create auctions.

To solve this dilemma, I decide to make my research available to you.  This will allow me to keep doing what I love and at the same time replace some of the income that is lost from placing fewer auctions.

We do the work - you reap the rewards.  You can learn which books are valuable the long, slow way like I did or you can . . .

• SAVE TIME!!!  
  
  You can benefit from our several hundred hours of research.  We spend 10-15 hours a week just doing the research, then another 5 hours organizing the data.  YOU can spend that twenty hours bookhunting or listing!
   

• SAVE MONEY!!! 
  
  Stop passing over valuable books.  Stop setting your BIN or starting price too low because of the limited price info that is available on collectible books.  Part of what we analyze is pricing strategies - what works best for each book.  We share these discoveries with you.
  
  We are building a massive data base of titles and prices.  On eBay you can only search back two weeks.  The best research tools only go back 90 days.  We have been recording data for almost two years.  Patterns are beginning to emerge.
