Purchased this as a Christmas present for my daughter. We'd seen television previews of Tim Hawkins routine and decided to try it. This DVD offers terrific entertainment for the ENTIRE family.

Didn't live up to my expectations
I read this book with great expectations of learning how to take advantage of online auctioning. However, after reading this 74 page book (which has size 14 font and is tripled spaced), I don't feel I've gained any knowledge that wasn't based on common sense. I feel cheated for having paid $14.95 on information that is...

Some chapters seemed to have promise, like HOW TO FIND PRODUCTS TO SELL, but...

Great book if you are serious about being successful on eBay
