If you have ever wanted to get into the Ebay business and buy/sell cars, here is a book to help you out. There are plenty of good deals on Ebay, and room to make money if you are selling vehicles. I have found that there is not a huge margin on newer cars, but older cars have a huge profit potential. I have a good friend who runs www.classicjunkyard.com and makes a living buying and selling classic car parts on Ebay. If you buy correctly, you can make a 50% – 75% margin or more, and there is a huge demand for muscle car parts. The key is knowing what you are looking at, know your part numbers, when other people do not. Doing your research is easy too, since Ebay allows you to search completed items so you can see what they have sold for.

Customer Review: It got me the exact car I wanted.
Without reading this book, I never would have thought to contact the seller and make an offer that would end the auction immediately. As a result, I was able to get the exact car I wanted, and the seller got his cash the next day, without having to worry about possibly flaky bidders. Win-win.
That bit of advice – by itself – was worth five stars. But there’s other good stuff in the book too.
