Awesome Book for Anyone who would like to make some extra $

This book is an incredible insight into how you can really make money at garage sales, estate sales, auctions, ebay, etc. First of all for the beginner, like myself, this book was jamm packed full of inside hints of what to do so you can make a great buy. There is a lot of information in this book but it was presented in a way that made it really enjoyable to read. By the time I finished the book I was inspired to get out there and find a great buy. GG Carbones' book just proved to be wonderful advice because I bought a saxophone at a swappers meet a couple of weeks ago and I just sold it and made 100.00 profit! I never would have been the first one there but I took GG Carbones advice and was the early bird and now I have 100 more bucks in my pocket! How can you go wrong with reading a book and making money soon after you have finished it. I think I'll re-read it again!

This is a fantastic insiders guide book I already made money

I've always loved tag sales and auctions, but on my first time out after reading this book, I came across several items I would have passed by before. So far I have made over $1,000.00 with my new finds. This is a fantastic insiders guide book, full of brilliant strategies and tips. Every person who wants to supplement their income or make extra money should have a copy of this book!!!!!

I Found my Fortune by reading this BOOK!

This book is awesome! I made money from the first tip I read and let me tell you, there are hundreds of tip to get you excited about making money. I needed to supplement my income because I'm a single Mom. And guess what? I even learned how to take my kids and get a bargain on items just because they were with me. The treasure success stories are inspiring. The Chapter on Creating Your Secret Treasure Map is so detailed and easy to follow and the author is so right on about mapping out your yard sale route ahead of time so you can hit more yard sales in less time. My kids love to help me plot the map and then we get up early and go on a treasure hunt! What a fun way to include the family and make money at the same time. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

If I had only known these tricks before.

We aren't really collectors, but we do enjoy going to a lot of sales and such, and we buy and sell often. We have a huge yard sale with my brothers and sisters twice a year. I deal in books. My sister sells junk, stuff, silver, heirlooms, plates, whatever. My brother and his wife sell antiques and have a store from which they rent commission space. I read the book and I learned we have been doing some of this wrong. Or let me put it this way, in a way that cost us some money. There was a guy who made some money off me, I remember now how he bought an old American Flag and talked to me how he did. He was working me. After I read the book, I can see the tricks and tactics he used on me, and I remember. So this author knows her stuff. I imagine some of the pros are mad at her for revealing some of this. I especially like the tips, they are laid out easily so you can learn the tricks. I am presently using the tactics about Wheeling and Dealing, the "Best actor" award section. I dont have a lot of time to read, so her tricks and tips help. The pictures arent the greatest, but it doesnt matter. If you are like me, and you would like that extra edge and want some secret tactics and professional info, read it. Great book for a yardsale person or a collector in my mind.
