eBay Powerseller Secrets:
This book is not for the casual or hobbiest eBay seller. It is targetted
directly at those who want to either extensively supplement their income or
even make selling via eBay their sole source of income. |
So many people are trying to build a web-site and then trying desperately to get traffic to their web-site. Why not simply go to where the traffic is? Go to eBay! You don't even need a web-site! (If you have a web-site get ready for a serious TRAFFIC BOOST). What's the secret? It has to do with the fact that about 80,000 people sign up for eBay.com every day! eBay.com™ is the 4th most visited site on the Internet. I have discovered a simple way to profit from that HUGE volume of traffic. There are over 100 million* members & over 1.5 Billion page views per month on eBay. I am taking full advantage of that traffic. I promise you have never been exposed to ideas like these. Did you know there are many different products you can sell on eBay that are free or nearly free to you, available in unlimited supply, and are very resistant to competition? Did you know there are ways to sell on eBay where your risk of loss is virtually eliminated? You risk almost nothing and your profits can be massive.

Janette Oke is a Christian writer whose books about life, love, values and faith have a huge following among women today. Each of her Christian books for adults falls into one of six different series she wrote. These are:
- Women Of The West
- Love Comes Softly
- Canadian West Saga
- Season Of The Heart
- A Prairie Legacy
- Song Of Acadia (the books in this series were written with T. Davis Dunn)
While they show up at FOL and AAUW book sales, they are most often found at garage sales. They won't find them at every garage or yard sale you visit, but spend a morning on the yard sale circuit and you should come home with several of her book and not have paid more than $.50 for any of them.
You will find a lot of these on eBay but nearly all are sold as single titles and that's a big mistake. In order to make the cash register ring for you with her books you should buy them individually or in groups, hold them until you have a complete series, and then sell the series as one auction.
All information and pricing is for soft-cover editions which are by far the most common. Here's a list of the books that make up each series:
Women Of The West Series (12 books)
The Calling Of Emily Evans *
Julia's Last Hope
A Woman Named Damarus
Roses For Mama *
They Called Her Mrs. Doc
Measure Of A HeartA Bride For Donnigan
Heart Of The Wilderness *
The Bluebird and The Sparrow *
A Gown Of Spanish Lace *
Too Long A Stranger
Dreams Of Change ** These six titles were re-written, with the same titles, for young girls (age 10 - 14) and published as the Janette Oke Classics For Girls Series. When buying these six titles be sure to check which series the book actually belongs to.
I've never found the Classics For Girls series to be a big seller and pass them up when I see them. You can try them if you'd like to though.
Love Comes Softly Series (8 books)
Loves Enduring Promise
Loves Long Journey
Loves Abiding Joy
Loves Unending Legacy
Loves Unfolding Dream
Love Takes Wing
Love Finds A Home
Canada West Series (6 books)When Calls The Heart
When Breaks The Dawn
When Comes The Spring
When Hope Springs New
Beyond The Gathering Storm
When Tomorrow Comes
Season Of The Heart Series (4 books)Springs Gentle Promise
Once Upon A Summer
Winds Of Autumn
Winter Is Not Forever
A Prairie Legacy Series (4 books)The Tender Years
A Searching Heart
A Quiet Strength
Like Gold Refined
Song Of Acadia Series (5 books)The Meeting Place
The Sacred Shore
The Birthright
The Distant Beacon
The Beloved LandThis last series continues under the name Heirs Of Acadia, but Janette Oke was no longer one of the authors and it isn't nearly as popular. It's the Janette Oke name that sells these books.
Mrs. Oke also wrote a series of 12 early readers for children called Janette Oke's Animal Friends Series. It's also a good seller when sold as a complete series. It's made up of the following titles:
The Impatient Turtle
The Prodigal Cat
Spunky's Dairy
This Little Pig
New Kid In Town
DucktailsPrairie Dog Town
Trouble In A Fur Coat
Maury Had A Little Lamb
Pordy's Prickly Problem
A Cote Of Many Colors
Who's New At The ZooHere's some pricing information for each series from the last several months. The prices shown are the averages each series sold for.
Women Of The West - $36.78
Love Comes Softly - $42.17
Canadian West Saga - $13.19
Season Of The Heart - $12.03
A Prairie Legacy - $14.38
Song Of Acadia - $37.14
Animal Friends - $38.63As you can see some series are more popular than others, but as long as you don't spend more then .50 each per book you will make money with any of them. Just list complete series, start them at $9.95 and let the bidders run them up.
Each of these series was also sold as a boxed set. If you find a set with it's box it will usually add a premium to the the final price.
