Selling on eBay: price guide
eBay guides and ‘how-to’ are abundant (just check our bookstore). A new one – eBay Price Guide – comes from an experienced eBay member: Julia L. Wilkinson has been buying and selling on eBay since 1999. It is not her first eBay book. She is the author of “eBay: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks” (Wiley), “My Life at AOL,” and numerous ebooks including “Making Big Bucks off Catalogs on eBay” and “What Sells on eBay for What.”
The official press release states:
The eBay Price Guide is filled with exhaustive lists of selling prices for items ranging from rare books and sports memorabilia to computer parts and video games, covering nearly every eBay niche and the most popular subcategories. Introductions to each category offer helpful tips and advice that you’ll find invaluable on their own. And a special version of the DeepAnalysis software on the CD-ROM serves up pricing data from a huge number of eBay auctions so you can better size up the eBay market, predict how various items will sell, and find out where the deals are.
If you’re a seller, The eBay Price Guide will help you gauge an item’s going rate. If you’re a buyer, you’ll be able to see, at a glance, which categories tend to be overpriced, where to find bargains, and how to bid competitively. Whether you’re selling cell phones, a pair of used Levi’s, or a vase from grandma’s attic, you’ll find this book and software kit indispensable in your quest to set or get the right price on eBay.
The companion CD contains a demo version of HammerTap’s DeepAnalysis auction research software, which sorts through licensed data and statistics for all eBay market sectors so sellers can develop strategies for success. The CD also includes The eBay Appetizer, an eBooklet that describes how to get started on eBay, as well as The Seller’s Guide and The Auction Accelerator, with lessons from a seasoned Internet business coach. You’ll also receive 20 percent off your first three months’ subscription to DeepAnalysis.

Summary: I am primarily interested what how eBay sellers can benefit from the book. eBay is a huge market, but it is very competitive in all categories. Research is a must if you want to make money on the auction. You have a choice: to buy this price guide or, for instance, to subscribe to eBay Marketplace Research.
