Today I want to tell you about a really easy way to make excellent profits on eBay and I bet you won’t ever hear this from anyone else.   That’s because most people running the kind of business you’ll read about today are banking hefty profits every day, without working long hours or investing heavily, and they prefer to keep their secret to themselves.

But I’ve always been very open about my eBay business and how much money I make from just one specific collectible - vintage postcards. 

Yet even with almost fifty years' experience selling vintage postcards, I sometimes find it very hard to believe a piece of card, sometimes a very dirty and even damaged piece of card, can fetch one hundred pounds plus on eBay - or dollars, or Euros, or any other currency because this idea works no matter where in the world you live and work.

Referred to by most people as ‘topographical’, the kind of postcards you’ll soon be selling depict places, geographical locations, such as towns and cities, small villages and hamlets, in your own country and overseas.  They’re hugely popular, and 'view cards' such as those you’ll soon be selling really can be bought for a tiny pittance at auction or flea market, at a car boot or garage sale or even on eBay itself, and resold at ten, twenty, sometimes hundreds of times the price you paid. 

If that sounds good, you’ll be pleased to know about a book I’ve written to help other people get started in his business, based on my own experience and revealing:

*  Four amazing ways to turn postcards you can pick up dirt cheap into valuable collectibles with multiple bidders and high finishing prices.

*  How to make a good card look even better and more appealing to bidders.  In so doing an ordinary card can become the subject of a bidding war that turns a card that cost you a few pence into a three figure multi-bid item on eBay. 

*  How to spot a card worth potentially hundreds of pounds against one that will lose you money, how to do it day after day, several times a day, right from day one.

As you can see the book is packed with tips and tricks to help you make really big profits selling one of the most collectable and profitable of all products on eBay, but if you need any further convincing to place your order for the book, maybe this Table of Contents will do the trick.
