5 Tips to Buying Books on Ebay

Books are an endless supply of wealth in various different ways. Some people like to purchase books online at places like Amazon or Ebay, and find great deals. Sometimes though people pay more money than they had to or don't get what they thought they were bidding on or buying. The following 5 tips can help you to be sucessful when you are searching for that book on Ebay.

Search Criteria

When using the search criteria on ebay first you may type in your exact search of the title. You may however find it valuable to type in a search of the authors name as well. Could the name of the book have a mispelling in it? You should check for a mispelling of the title as others who are searching for this same book might not find the mispelled auction listing. This could lead you, the bidder and buyer to picking up the book for less than you anticipated.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are something to always pay attention too on Ebay. Each seller decides what he wants to charge for shipping. Don't be deceived, A seller may make up for what appears to you as an amazingly cheap deal by the cost he charges for shipping. Always read what a seller has written in detail about his shipping costs, and if you don't know what they are, contact the seller by clicking on the link to ask a question.

A Books Condition

Now that you have found your Ebay book at the right price and found a good deal on shipping you need to check the books condition. You can often view a picture of the book under the seller description. Depending on the importance of the book to you or how you are using it you will want to ask yourself the following questions: Does the book have all of its contents, or have pages fallen out or been torn out? Have any of the pages been marked in? Is the spine of the book in tact? Are any of the pages furled or bent up? Would I be able to resell the book for what I paid for it?

First, Second, Third Editions etc.....

Another thing you will want to keep in mind is which edition of printing the book is. Especially if it has been one of great popularity. If you are buying the book on Ebay to collect it then you will be searching for the earliest edition possible most likely. Don't be fooled into believing you have foud a rare find of a book without knowing what edition of printing it is.

Feedback Rating

On Ebay, Feedback rating can tell you a lot about a person. If their feedback rating is a high percentage like 100 percent then thats a good sign. I suggest never buying from a 0 rated feedback seller on Ebay. You are taking way too much risk. Powersellers are usually very trusted.

In conclusion, whatever you are buying on Ebay, do it with a decent amount of choosiness, after all it is your money not anyone elses.

Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus
This 2-disc set features 10 all new Hannah Montana songs from the #1-rated Disney Channel series, as well as a 2nd CD including 10 brand-new original songs by Miley Cyrus!

Customer Review: Can't wait until "Miley Cyrus 2" is released

Just started listening to Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus yesterday and if you're thinking about buying this CD, don't wait any longer - it's awesome!



I really loved the first Hannah Montana debut CD and after listening to the new "Hannah 2" songs I actually think the new songs are even better, but I was mainly impressed with the "Miley Cyrus" co-written songs. Still can't believe that someone so young can have so much talent ... as an actress, singer, performer and songwriter.

Customer Review: Daughter's favorite CD

This seems to have two CD's with the normal Hannah Montana sound, as well as a new sound (Miley Cyrus). My daughter loves these CD's and I think I know every song on them. If you like Hannah Montana, you'll love this.

Customer Review: Just what I was looking for

I am an experienced developer but fairly new to VB.NET. This book is not for beginners but it is great for someone like myself who knows what they want to do and just wants some good examples and tips. It's a great reference book and a good alterative to Google. The English is clear and to the point. The book is a sturdy hardback and the pages are well laid out. It's easy to read afters hous of staring at a screen. To sum up, I'm glad that I brought it. It has saved me time and money and you can't ask for much more than that :-)

Customer Review: Great Book

There is a lot of information in this book, covering a broad range of subjects. It is well laid out and easy to reference. The CD comes with the current version of the book as well as the author's previous book on VB6. Not really a beginner's book as there are more intermediate and advanced topics. I had not used .NET and hadn't touched VB6 in a couple of years. I needed a resource to help jump from rusty VB6 skills to .NET - this book did it perfectly. It is also filled with advanced topics that I am not currently using but now know where to go when the need arrives.

Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger

Nancy Drew - Stay Tuned for Danger
NANCY DREW - STAY TUNED FOR DANGER (WIN 95,98)

Customer Review: Definitely NOT 5 stars

My conscience wouldn't let me leave this item with a 5 star review. My sister and I both agree that this was the worst of all the Nancy Drew Games. This was the only one where we got stuck and had to let the game sit for about 2 years before becoming desperate enough for a mystery game to go back and finish it. It's dry, dull and did I say "Dry and Dull?" Don't let this be the first or only Nancy Drew you buy. In fact, you should only buy this in the 4 or 5 pack like Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary.



The very first episode is difficult to maneuver since you have to change discs, but at least it was cute, set in a high school and a diner. The next couple of games are a little difficult to move around. But, by #3 Message in a Haunted Mansion and #4 Treasure In The Royal Tower they really start getting good. The best are (my order): Nancy Drew - The Secret of Shadow Ranch, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand, Nancy Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor, Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, and Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon. Though short and without as many fun puzzles and challenges, Nancy Drew: Secret Of the Old Clock and Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek were both very cute. And we still like to go back to Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave to go fishing, snorkeling and make necklaces.



I hope you have fun with these and I fervently hope that some other companies would catch on that there is a market for this type of lighthearted and low-violence gaming!!

Customer Review: cool game, good graphics

this is one of the better games if compared with the first nancy drew game.i would recommend this game to first time mystery game players.

Customer Review: Difficult to find

I had never heard of this cd, came across it browsing your site. There was fast shipping and the product got here still sealed.

Customer Review: Better than I remembered

3.5 stars



This was a follow-up to their #1 album, Long Distance Voyager, and I think these guys climbed such heights with LDV that they set themselves up to fail on this one. At least, that was my initial impression. If memory serves correctly, I gave this a try a couple of times when it was initially released, and then set it aside and started listening to LDV again.



With the iPod revolution, I've started listening to some of my older music again, and I thought I'd give this another shot. What I discovered was that *I* had been expecting The Moody Blues to produce another LDV, and so was disappointed to get The Present. That was most unfortunate, because while The Present doesn't stand up head-to-head with LDV, there's a lot of worthy music here.



I'll admit, though, that I still found Blue World and Meet Me Halfway lacking and disappointing - bland music that doesn't really go anywhere. I'd always loved Sitting at the Wheel from the first time I heard it, and found that to be the same again. With different lyrics, it might have been a bigger hit for them. What I discovered was that Going Nowhere, It's Cold Outside of Your Heart, and Sorry (and perhaps I Am) were very notable songs. In fact, I've listened to Sorry by itself about eight times in the last two weeks alone.



The lesson, if there is one, is this: don't expect your favorite bands to give you exactly what they gave you before. You might miss out on some good music.



That said, many bands, when they release an album that becomes their "biggest hit ever" do try and duplicate that success. I think that Journey did it (unsuccessfully) - every song they released from Frontiers had a parallel on Escape.



I'm glad I gave this another go.

Davy Crockett: King of Wild Frontier

Davy Crockett: King of Wild Frontier
Fess Parker captured the hearts of millions with his strong, confident portrayal of the legendary king of the wild frontier. There's never been a folk hero quite like Davy Crockett, and you'll see why when you watch him "grin" down a bear, battle an Indian chief in a tomahawk duel, and fight for freedom at the Alamo. Disney's popular action-adventure inspired millions of children to sport coonskin caps and sing "The Ballad Of Davy Crockett," which topped the nation's hit list for 13 weeks! As Walt Disney himself proclaimed, the story of Davy Crockett, with its entertaining blend of drama, humor, and adventure, will always be a colorful reflection of the frontier spirit.

Customer Review: It's wonderful entertainment

If you saw it 50 years ago or never saw it before, you will still love it. Great viewing for everyone!!

Customer Review: Fess Parker is Davy Crockett!!!

Talk about a wonderful family film!!! Here we have Fess Parker as the King of the Wild Frontier, and Buddy Ebsen as his sidekick, and we follow their adventures from Indian fighting to become sheriff to becoming involved in politics, to going to the Alamo, all within a short span of a Disney movie.



I didn't have any problem with this. It's purely entertainment, although you can find some nuggets of truth, here. Davy Crockett was indeed in Congress once, but he left due to the President's advocacy of mistreatment to the Indians, and as far as the Alamo is concerned, well, the scene ends with Crockett fighting to the very end.



This movie's filled with fun, excitement, and pure theatrics. It's a great family film, too!!!

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Some Like It Hot (1959)
When Chicago musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) accidentally witness a gangland shooting, they quickly board a southbound train to Florida, disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the twonewestand homeliestmembers of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect...until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for Josephine, an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for Daphne, and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax! Nominated* for 6 Academy Awards(r), Some Like It Hot is the quintessential madcap farce and one of the greatest of all film comedies (The Motion Picture Guide). *1959: Director, Actor (Lemmon), Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography (B&W), Art Direction (B&W), Costume Design (B&W, winner)

Customer Review: Some Like It Hot

ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon & Marilyn Monroe star in this 1959 comedy which will make even the most serious of people laugh. Nominated for seven Oscars & winner of one (B & W Costume Design), Some Like It Hot entertains from beginning to end. The story takes place in Chicago during the Depression; Curtis (saxophone) & Lemmon (bass) are musicians that aren't doing well. They witness the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre & they're seen by the murderers, Lemmon's bass fiddle takes a few shots. Of course, they decide to run. They can't get a gig until they find out about an all-girl band that's heading for Miami & is short the same instruments they play. Marilyn Monroe is in the band & the comedy is only now warming up.



Curtis & Lemmon dress in drag in order to join the band because no men are allowed. Monroe likes to drink & Curtis & Lemmon are more than willing to aid & abet her. Curtis, teh playboy, wants to develop a relationship with Monroe so he takes on the persona of a rich bachelor. The farcical irony of this stems from the fact that Lemmon (in drag & makeup) has gotten an older, rich bachelor to fall for her(him). The part of the rich bachelor is played by Joe E. Brown. Curtis appropriates his clothes & yacht in order to pursue & woo Monroe.



It's a good thing that this movie was filmed in black & white. The makeup used on the two male leads appears to be garish even in this medium. The use of color film would have made this much too apparent.



George Raft, famous for his gangster role twenty years earlier, makes a featured appearance as the gangster who orchestrated the hit & who's now looking for the runaway musicians. And, of course, he ends up in Miami when the mob has their annual get together there. The ending is fast & furious with laughs abounding, not much is subtle here. The ending is a classic when Joe E. Brown proposes to Jack Lemmon's female personna. Lemmon makes every excuse possible why he/she can't marry him. Finally, Lemmon confesses he's a man & Brown's reply is hilarious. You must see it to believe it.





Customer Review: OUTRAGEOUS AND SOPHISTICATED - One of the Best Comedies Ever

"Outrageous" is the best word I can think of to describe Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot - unless it's "sophisticated." Some may think that a strange combination, but I don't think so. We have the burlesque element of two musicians - played by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon - who are driven by lack of work to impersonate females so they can get jobs in an all-girl band that's heading to Florida. (One of the musicians, Curtis, also impersonates Cary Grant later in the film - not for work but love.) We have gangland, prohibition and the Chicago St. Valentine's Day Massacre, featuring George Raft as a gangster and Pat O'Brien as a police detective. (This is another reason our two musicians need to be incognito and heading out of town - they accidentally witnessed that holiday massacre.) We have the lush, tropical setting to which our heroes (heroines?) are fleeing: an exclusive Florida resort for retired millionaires. We have the gorgeously seductive Marilyn Monroe as the singer of the band in one of her hottest roles, not to mention her rendition of a pair of really hot songs. And we have one of the homliest comedians that ever graced the silver screen - Joe E. Brown - as the millionaire that takes a liking to Lemmon's female persona. It is definitely a combination of the outrageous and the sophisticated.



In order to pursue Monroe, Curtis doffs his wig and female padding and dons a blue blazer and captain's cap, a la Cary Grant; but he also blackmails Lemmon into keeping Brown occupied on shore so that he and Monroe can take advantage of the millionaire's yacht. In one of the great, classic scenes of cinema, we cut between Curtis and Monroe making love on the yacht, and Lemmon and Brown dancing at an outdoor restaurant. Curtis convinces Monroe that he has become frigid because of a lost love, so she decides to try to cure him. Cut to Lemmon and Brown dancing a tango to the same tune Billy Wilder used in Sunset Boulevard for the New Year's Eve party. Cut back to Curtis and Monroe kissing - he's starting to thaw. Cut to Lemmon and Brown dancing - they exchange a long stem carnation between their teeth. Back to Curtis and Monroe - his glasses are becoming fogged. Lemmon and Brown - they've blindfolded the orchestra!



When the two red-hot lovers meet back at their room, Lemmon tells Curtis that he's engaged. "Who's the lucky girl," Curtis asks. "I am," Lemmon coos, as he plays the shakers he's brought back from the restaurant. Curtis is stunned: he's done such a good job convincing his friend that he's a girl, Lemmon's ready to pick out china. Now he has to try to undo it, but it's not going to be easy - the deluded Lemmon is thinking about the alimony checks he'll collect if the marriage doesn't work out. It's all a lot of really outrageous - and sophisticated - fun.



Some Like It Hot was a high point in the careers of its three stars, as well as its director. Curtis and Lemmon would pair up again in The Great Race (1965), a wonderful Blake Edwards slapstick spoof, and make many more films as well - but this was one of their best. Monroe, on the other hand, appeared in only three more films before her death at the age of 36 in 1962 - so this was definitely the high point of her career. Billy Wilder would make about a dozen more films; but since this was his best comedy, it was a high point for him, too. Some Like It Hot was nominated for six Oscars, but only won Best Costume Design for a Black-and-White film, because it was competing against Ben-Hur, which swept the Oscars that year.
