From Booklist:

From the veteran antique-guide authors and syndicated columnists comes this everything-you-need-to-know introduction to the world of Internet auctions. The authors start right at the beginning: if you don't know what a Web page is, or how to navigate on the Internet, or even how to get on the Internet in the first place, this is absolutely the book for you. But readers with a slightly higher level of expertise will also find the handbook very useful: the authors provide a comprehensive guide to buying and selling online, introducing us to some of the popular auction Web sites and offering up plenty of good advice and helpful hints (their tips on searching a Web site for a particular kind of item are particularly good). The book concentrates on three popular sites--eBay, amazon.com, and Yahoo--and concludes with a comparison of the sites, ranking them according to various criteria (ease of retracting a bid, fees for listing an item for sale, ability to cancel an auction). An excellent guide to Internet auctioneering from the most knowledgeable experts in the business. David Pitt
