watches—several of which he has bought on eBay.
Acknowledgments
It might look like everything in this book came
from me alone. Indeed, nearly all of these tips
came out of what I have learned by selling on
eBay. But I could never have started the project in
the first place, much less have seen it through to
fruition, on my own. I owe a tremendous debt of
gratitude to a multitude of people, including my
agent Lynn Haller of Studio B, who has guided me
to a variety of new opportunities in the past few
years; Bethany Brown of Sourcebooks for being
very easy to work with; my assistant Ann Lindner;
and my eBay friend and mentor Paula Amato, who
has helped me learn by doing.
