Who You're Dealing With:

   About the year 2000 we moved into a smaller home and started selling many of our prized possessions. We're still doing it! (We have lots of things, many valuable, but as you know... one spends half a life acquiring things and the second half dispersing them... guess which half we're in?)

   We often sell extremely rare books, first-edition books, and other general books. Although books are not the only items we offer, they have been a major part of our auctions because we've been selling a private library for a friend of ours for a while.

   We also sell items on consignment for family and friends. (Our problem has never been, What do we sell?)

   One of our passions is teaching others about eBay. Only you don't get the usual "Here is how to sell..." introductory stuff that you get in just about every book you ever see. We offer extremely valuable profit-generating advice.

YOU Can Profit From Our eBay Expertise:

   Greg is (not so humbly) known as an eBay Master. He backs up that rather bold statement with some facts:

- He's an author of more than 75 computer books published by major publishers and translated into most languages worldwide. Millions of his books have been sold by one publisher alone (Sams/Que Publishing). Greg knows computers and has been called by his publisher, The Most Prolific Author of Computer Books on Earth.

- He's a syndicated newspaper columnist for an eBay column (you can find past issues here. Unlike the more advanced strategies he teaches elsewhere, this is a column for the novice user and takes them by the hand from start to finish.)

- Greg has appeared on C-Span multiple times and is a sought-after speaker at national conferences.

- One of his books was used in Sandra Bullock's movie The Net.

- He's been interviewed from coast-to-coast on scores of national and local radio and television shows related to his books.

- He's an Education Specialist Trained by eBay.

- He was featured on Penn & Teller's Showtime special

   The reason for the BidMentor eBay ID should now be obvious - Greg's writing and training abilities are sought by eBayers who want don't want to hear the same old advice but want new and fresh ways to increase their bids and get more sales.

   Not just a writer, Greg has the experience in handling day-to-day mechanisms of the eBay auction world. His hands-on approach means that he understands what you're going through and can help if needed.

   Jayne is his research staff! She writes many of the listings and researches many of the little-known features and benefits of the items we make available to you. Does Jayne really know eBay? Her bestselling book, I Married an eBay Maniac answers that question fairly well!

   I Married an eBay Maniac takes you on our journey to PowerSeller status. So often only one family member is an avid eBayer while the husband or wife doesn't understand what's going on. Jayne's I Married an eBay Maniac is for that eBay Widow or Widower who no longer wants to be left out but who wants to contribute... no improve the family eBay business without letting eBay take over the entire home. (Which is what Greg was doing before she jumped into the foray!)

Unlike so many authors and marketers pushing how-to-sell eBay products, we practice what we preach! Through our multiple eBay accounts we are PowerSellers who work eBay daily just as you do.

   If you want more than basics, however, the books, eBooks, products, and services we offer will grow your eBay business. An expertise in Direct Marketing has given Greg insight into selling psychology that wise eBayers can use in their listings, wording that moves the hesitant buyers past the hesitant stages to make the sale. If you have a product you believe in, you owe it to your buyer to convince that buyer of the product's worth. (Otherwise, you're wasting your time and your buyer's time.)

Who Should You Trust  on eBay?

Before you bid on anybody's auctions, always ask yourself:

   1. Have they described the item well?

   2. Do they seem to back up what they say?

   3. Is their shipping reasonable?

   4. Does their feedback reflect their concern?

Bottom Line - Are Our Buyers Satisfied?

   How do we stack up? Although our feedback speaks for itself, we'd like to show you mail we received about one of our books that sold for $1,800 (yes, that is correct, and it was just published in the 1970s):

Hi Greg:

      I wanted to take a minute and let you know that Carrie arrived today, safe and sound. I've already left you appropriate feedback but as you know there isn't enough space in there sometimes to leave all the feedback you might like. So here goes...

     First I would like to say that this was probably the best transaction I have ever been involved with. Your advertisement of Carrie was truly a work of art. I have wondered if you were in advertising. If you're not, you might be missing your true calling.. However, as good as your advertisement was, I am happy to say that the actual item exceeded all my expectations!! Did you ever read the book or even open it? For a book that is over thirty years old to be that new is incredible. You really did take good- no I mean fantastic care of it. The cover was stiff when I opened it just like a brand new book. Thank you!

     Secondly, I want to compliment you on how professionally you have handled yourself. You don't know how many sellers I have dealt with that have left me feeling somewhat disappointed when the transaction was done. Finding hidden flaws really irritates me. Slow responses to e-mails bugs me. Slow shipping- I mean slooooowwww  shipping, bothers me only because when something doesn't arrive in a timely fashion, you start to wonder if maybe it was delivered and then stolen off your porch. I also appreciate the fact you left me feedback before I received the book. At least you were confident enough in how you handled your end to leave me feedback before I left it for you.

     Thirdly and finally, I want you to know that Carrie could not have come to a better home. I bought Carrie for my own pleasure as well as an investment. You will not see her on E-bay again in my lifetime. In fact, Carrie is so beautiful, I'm going to charge myself a dollar every time I'm in the same room with her.  Just kidding...

   We ask you - how many sellers receive such letters? Ever? How many will go a lifetime on eBay without ONE such letter?

  Just 3 weeks after that one, another buyer said these words:

  I enjoy doing business with you and just for the record, you have the best product description I've seen on eBay. 

   If I'm looking for a book, I check your listings first, because I know I'm getting a quality item and I'm dealing with an honest person.

   Thanks and I hope to do business with you again.

   We won't add anything because there is nothing more we could say except we're surely blessed to hear that.
