Book Reviews of eBay Inventory the Smart Way: How to Find Great Sources and Manage Your Merchandise to Maximize Profits on the World's #1 Auction Site (Ebay Inventory the Smart Way)
Book Review: Helps put a specific perspective on eBay business, but not much to work with.
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is a decent overall, 1000 ft view of options for acquiring inventory to sell on eBay. It presents the 'you should consider' rather than the 'step one, step two', which is fair seeing that no one answer can fit all.
Granted, this wasn't intended to give you a list of manufacturers, wholesalers, or even a comprehensive list of online services; but just when you think something tangible (as opposed to purely conceptual) is about to appear on the next page, you get a 'not within the scope of this book' or 'buy our other book XYZ for that info' Also be warned of the DOBA ads threaded throughout this book (one of the authors is the CEO)
One 'tangible' piece of info I couldve used is in the area of importing. The book goes into the general process of working with manufacturers and wholesalers. You'd think getting the inventory is a considerable aspect of managing inventory, however the book simply recommends contacting a customs broker and stops. Then points to another one of their books for $24.95.
On top of it all, there had to have been at least 50 pages in this book created out of pure repetition. There were a number of places I thought I had reread, only to notice it had been covered multiple times. The unorthodox organization of the book helped lead to this, fat margins, etc, but I'm sure its no accident..a 250 pager sells more copies.
Decent book, but not well executed. I definitely will not consider any other publication in the series.

"EBay Inventory the Smart Way" is the first book to look exclusively at the most profitable strategies for finding reliable suppliers and marketable products to sell on eBay. The book covers more than 25 types of inventory sources - including liquidators and closeouts, local retailers, national and local wholesalers, drop shippers, and more - and tells how to find and profit from each. Whether buying in bulk, sourcing one item at a time, or establishing a powerful inventory management system, both established online retailers and newcomers will find this book indispensable.Key features are: a recent A.C. Nielsen study reports the numbered 1 concern of eBay sellers is what to sell and how to find suppliers; the number of eBay sellers keeps growing! 1.5 million people say they supplement their income by selling on eBay; and in addition to Sinclair's status as "the" eBay author, co-author Hanks is an expert in online auction inventory. At eBay Live this past June, the product sourcing session was the biggest draw of all the opening meetings, and Hanks was featured as a key expert.General Books
