An entertaining, touching, and inspiring chronicle of the author's most memorable eBay adventures, this book uses the world of online auctions as the setting for a personal story of friendship, loss, and growth. Lynn Dralle is the granddaughter of Cheryl Leaf, an antiques dealer and larger-than-life personality. Over the years, Lynn came to depend not only on her grandmother's broad knowledge of antiques and her business insights, but also on her wisdom, strength of character, and humor.Near the end of her grandmother's life, Lynn returned home to help run the family antiques store. To boost business, she began buying and selling on eBay. As Lynn weaves memories of her grandmother into stories about the items she has sold on eBay, she creates a book that is partly a memoir of the woman who inspired and brought together her entire family and partly a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to succeed on eBay. Through it all, Lynn's fresh and enthusiastic voice keeps the tone upbeat. This book appeals to everyone!Dralle, Lynn is the author of '100 Best Things I'Ve Sold on Ebay My Story--By the Queen of Auctions', published 2003 under ISBN 9780967440460 and ISBN 0967440467.
