Review: "How To Turn Auction Traffic Into Cash" by Jim Cockrum

The Bottom Line

Not Recommended

Price as of this writing: $24.97

I have the beginnings of ideas stewing in my head for how to apply what this eBook teaches, and it may end up being very profitable. But the bottom line is that I just didn't feel like I was reading much that I couldn't have found elsewhere for free if I'd looked. One of the two chapters I found interesting is pretty much duplicated in The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay (which I bought with this eBook in a package deal, and which I do recommend), so it only cost me $15. Had I bought it separately at full price, I would have felt I'd been overcharged, but the other eBook is good enough that I'm fine with the total price I paid.

Negatives:

• There just isn't enough meat--enough information that makes you say "wow, I hadn't thought of that and I don't know where else I could have learned it!"--in this eBook to justify the price it's being sold for.

Positives:

• The techniques discussed in this book could certainly be used very profitably, and it does provide a concise overview of the process and some good information.
• If you're not happy with the book, you have 45 days to get a full refund--but please! Don't buy it with the intention of asking for a refund!.
