Jim Cockrum's Silent Sales Machine Hiding On eBay

A few years ago when I was looking for people to help me promote my "How To Get An Endless Stream Of People To Sell You Their Antiques And Collectibles," I came across a website by Jim Cockrum.

Jim wrote a book called "The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay" that reveals how he generates thousands of dollars monthly on eBay while only running a small handful of auctions at a time.

I buy a lot of books and information products, because I would rather learn from someone else than make my own mistakes. I make enough mistakes on my own!

There are a lot of books out there about how to make money on eBay. Most of them are crap.

Jim's Silent Sales Machine is different.

After I read "The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay," I immediately changed the way I looked at my auctions. Jim shows how he generates thousands of dollars monthly on eBay while only running a small handful of auctions at a time.

I immediately implemented Jim's strategies; and have seen fantastic results.

I am a terrible record keeper unless I absolutely have to, but I am sure I make a few hundred extra dollars every month. I see no reason why I won't continue to make a few hundred dollars a month with the Jim Cockrum's system.

It's like finding money on the sidewalk. It took me about 15 minutes to start my own Silent Sales Machine. A couple hundred dollars a month for 15 minutes work. Now that's what I call working.

I wrote the words above in September 2002. Since then a lot has changed in the world of eBay.

Jim was the first person to explain how to use your eBay me page to drive traffic into a website. At that time, eBay had just banned putting links to outside websites into your eBay auctions.

The Silent Sales Machine broke new ground and helped readers find new ways of making money from eBay traffic with their me pages.

That's actually where the name comes from. It's a silent sale. There is no evidence of the sales except to the buyer and the seller.

Today, things are different. How to effectively use your eBay me page been widely publicized. Others have taken the idea and improved on it.

In fact, my free eBay Buyer's Guide was originally written to use as an incentive to get people to go to my eBay me page.

The question is with all these advances is the "The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay" worth spending your money on?

Jim updated the book in early 2005, and added a bunch of new material. (All buyers of the book get these updates free.)

I still think having Jim's book in your library is a good choice. While there are a lot of other eBay books out there, "The Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay" still does a great job of covering the material. You will benefit from this book.
