An entertaining, touching, and inspiring chronicle of its author's most memorable eBay adventures, The 100 Best Things I've Sold on eBay uses the world of online auctions as the setting for a personal story of friendship, loss, and growth. Lynn Dralle is the granddaughter of Cheryl Leaf, an antiques dealer and larger-than-life personality who passed away in August of 2000 at the age of 88. Lynn literally grew up in the antiques business; she started accompanying her grandmother to antique shows at the age of seven, and over the years came to depend not only on her grandmother's business insights, but on her wisdom, strength of character, and humor.
Near the end of her grandmother's life, Lynn returned home to help run the family antiques store. She eventually began buying and selling on eBay to pay for her grandmother's nursing home expenses. As Lynn weaves memories of her time with her grandmother into stories about the items she has sold on eBay, she creates a book that is partly a memoir of the woman who inspired and brought together the entire family and partly a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to succeed at online auctions. Through it all, Lynn's fresh and enthusiastic voice keeps the tone upbeat. This book will appeal to readers who enjoy stories about family as well as those who just like to read about auction successes.

A total waste of a book.
Sorry, author- but most of us don't have rich relatives who give us
weird and unusual things to sell on ebay.
I wish it was more relavant.

Great starter book!!Reviewed by Richard P. Conti, 2007-05-20
This book gave me the knowledge and courage to start selling things on e-bay. In an interesting narrative, Ms Dralle gives helpful hints and insights into what she sells on e-bay and why she thinks it sells. I'm glad I bought it and I bought several of her other books after reading it.
Love this book!Reviewed by Evelyn R. Powers, 2007-05-19
I keep it for reference. Sure I may never find the exact items she lists in her book - but I may find something by the same company.
