1) FROM THE EDITOR
Many of you probably know some pretty interesting history about the early years of eBay and online selling. I just learned something interesting myself this week. The creator of the first sniping
program emailed me in response to my article last week about sniping tools <http://www.auctionbytes.com/Email_Newsletter/47/47.html#snipe>. Dave Eccles created
Cricket Jr. back in 1997, and wanted me to know about his sniping tool. Here's part of his letter:
"Cricket Jr. Sniped for the first time in mid December 1997 (9 second Snipe) and was introduced
to the Ebay community on December 30, 1997. Cricket Jr was the first Snipe tool ever offered and was an immediate hit with the bidders that found the auction."
Mr. Eccles went on to discuss the
state of sniping and his experiences in dealing with the auction sites. You can learn more at his Web site. <http://www.cricketsniper.com>
If you have experience using Cricket or any of the
other tools mentioned in the last issue, be sure and post in the forums
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/forum/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=51&f orum=7&4>.
AuctionBytes is in the process of moving to a new bigger server. Changes will be occurring over the next week. Some servers may be slower than others to propagate the new IP, so we'll be running two
sites concurrently to try and eliminate any downtime. If you do have problems accessing our Site, email David at dsteiner@auctionbytes.com and let us know.

2) How to Package Books Cheaply, Quickly and Safely - Part 2
by Craig Stark
The following is a step-by-step method of packaging books with b-flute. Before I began to use
it, I experimented extensively with a soft pine board, which is excellent for telegraphing damage. I wrapped the pine board as if it were a book, and subjected the package to systematic abuse - namely,
throwing it down on a concrete slab floor at varying angles and degrees of force. In all but the most extreme cases, the packaging prevented all damage. Nevertheless, I should emphasize that this is only one
approach, and there may be other packaging methods that work as well or better. Costs for the following items are based on prices in my area and may vary considerably across the country.
List of supplies needed:
1. B-flute (1 300' roll each of 12" and 18" widths. These two sizes will accommodate nearly every size of book. About $9 for a 12" roll and $14 for an 18".)
NOTE: Suppliers for b-flute may be difficult to locate, especially in less densely populated areas. Check under headings like "Shipping Supplies" or "Packing Materials" in the Yellow
Pages. Mail order is available with some suppliers but often doubles (or worse) the final cost.
2. Packaging tape (Tape is expensive. Buy it in bulk, if possible, and your savings can be as much as
50%. Use a medium grade or better. About $1.75 for a 2" x 110-yard roll.)
3. Tape dispenser (About $8.)
4. Heavy-duty stapler (Don't skimp on this. The stapler must be able to staple
through 4 thicknesses of flute and hold up under heavy use. Also, buy the type with an arm than angles up. About $50.)
5. Staples (Heavy duty, 3/8". About $5 for a box of 5,000.)
6. Spring-clamp (4" jaw opening. About $8.)
7. Scissors or box cutter
8. Zip-loc bags (Several sizes.)
Instructions:
1. Seal the book in a Zip-loc bag. Packages get wet from time
to time, and flute soaks up moisture like a sponge. On international shipments, I use two bags.
2. Crease the flute near the end of the roll, approximately the thickness of the book plus at least
another two or three inches in from the end.
<
http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure1.jpg>
3. Tuck the book snugly against the crease, press the end down on the face of
the book, then roll, flipping it over twice in the flute.
4. Holding the book firmly with one hand, cut along the gutter of a corrugation with the other. Leaving enough excess so that the end can be
folded back over the book and more or less meet the original end, in effect making a double thickness of b-flute around the entire perimeter of the package.
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure2.jpg>
5. Still holding the book firmly, pull on the free end of the b-flute and tighten up the package as much as possible, then secure it temporarily with
a spring clamp.
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure3.jpg
>
6. Hook a small loop of tape inside one open end of the package and tape the seam, leaving enough extra to hook it inside the other end
as well.
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure4.jpg>
7. Staple one end of the package, starting at one side and moving to the middle at approximately a 45-degree angle, reversing, then starting
at the opposite end and moving to the middle at the same angle. This will ensure that the end of the stapler arm will stay free of the package at all times. Make sure at least one staple straddles and
secures the seam on each end.
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure5.jpg
>
8. Staple the other end of the package the same way.
A Few Tips:
1. Use 12" b-flute if at all possible. It's
cheaper. If the book is too long to fit across the flute and still leave enough excess to staple, it's often possible to turn it 90 degrees and make things work. There's no rule of thumb for which size to
use because books vary in length, width and thickness, and an especially thick but otherwise small book may require 18" flute. It's simply a matter of practice, developing a feel for what will work with
each size.
Generally speaking, the closer the row of staples is to the edge of the book, the better. This maximizes the all-important pinching action. If a book is an in-between size, I'll roll it in
the 18" flute, tape it, then cut the end off to size before stapling.
2. Thin manuals, brochures and the like may need to be wrapped in a single roll of b-flute first, then cut to the length of
the book and positioned with the corrugation crosswise to the outer package. This stiffens the resulting package considerably and prevents bending during shipment.
3. On especially thick books,
stapling can be somewhat tricky. It's sometimes easier to push the book partially out of the rolled and taped flute to make stapling on at least the first end straightforward. On the second end (after
pushing the book back in) it may be necessary to pinch it first to create a somewhat flat surface for the staple to enter. This prevents it from tearing the outer skin of the flute.
4. I don't waste
money on adhesive labels but print my addresses on plain paper, cut them to size with a paper cutter (about $25 at an office supply store), then tape them to the front of the package.
<http://www.auctionbytes.com/images/figure6.jpg> This all but ensures that the addresses won't become illegible if the package gets wet. On international shipments, which are sometimes opened for
inspection, I tape a duplicate copy of the address to the Zip-loc bag.
It's impossible, of course, to cover every contingency in an article of this length, but if anyone has any questions, I'd be
happy to address them in the book forum.

3) "How to Make a Fortune from Home in Your Spare Time":
Part 1 - Introduction & Choosing Your Niche
by Yisroel Goodman
"In one month you could be making $1,000 a day from your home in only 5 minutes a day while sitting in your underwear! Send $39.95 for my secrets."
Your email inbox is probably full
of claims like these. Well, I am about to reveal the secret and save you $39.95: The plan calls for you to spam a million people in the hopes that some of them fall for it and send you the money!
Just remember: TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. If there was really some secret to legitimately making $1,000 a day in only 5 minutes, no one would be selling it for $39.95. What I can
tell you is that you can make money online through hard work and using your brain.
Before you launch any business venture, you have to be realistic. Do not quit your day job expecting to make a
fortune selling on eBay. Unless you have a truly unique item that only you can get at a special price, you will be facing competition from folks who have been around longer than you and have already
established the ratings and reputation to get the highest bids. Does that mean you should give up? Absolutely not. It just means you have to carefully think about how to proceed. While older businesses may
have the advantage of a proven track record and clientele, newer businesses have the advantage of a fresh approach and are not hampered by outdated procedures or inventory purchased at higher prices.
In this series of articles, I will demonstrate some of the tricks that I learned which helped me build the Internet side of my business into a steady income producer. I am not going to claim that you will
become rich. The Internet side of my business brings in about $200 a week. I am not going to claim that it takes only five minutes a day. It takes me a few hours, but that is only because I enjoy exchanging
emails with people all over the globe. If you are a "strictly business" sort of person, you can probably do it in an hour or two a day.
What I will do is give you a "money back
guarantee." If you don't like my ideas, you can request a full refund of every cent you paid me to read this article. Even better, I'll give you DOUBLE your money back.
Rule #1: Choose Your Niche
If you visit chat forums on a regular basis (Auctionwatch, OTWA, eBay and the new AuctionBytes forums) you will see these kinds of posts regularly: "Does anyone have a good source of wholesale
stuff? Does anyone know a good drop-shipper? I want to start selling on eBay."
Asking others what they sell and who they get it from so that you can sell exactly the same thing the same way is
not the way to get noticed. And, it is difficult to compete on price. The bigger sellers who sell in larger quantities probably get better pricing.
So what can you do as a
"Johnny-come-lately" to get positive attention? Compete by offering something the bigger sellers can't afford to give: service. The key to giving great service and customized attention: Love what
you sell!
You can spot the sellers who have a passion for their products. They enjoy answering questions. They take the time to make sure that their customers know exactly what they are getting. To
them, a customer is more than just another bid and another few dollars. And it shows in their feedback. I would venture to guess that successful sellers did not first decide to sell and then start looking
for merchandise. Most successful sellers on eBay first had a passion and then became sellers.
I sell digital cameras and related accessories. So do a thousand other seller. What differentiates me from
all of the others? I enjoy learning about this new technology, and I enjoy sharing the knowledge. When a customer places an order for a 128mb SmartMedia card, I ask them what kind of camera they have and
then tell them if it will only accept a maximum of 64mb. When a customer places an order for an expensive Fuji battery and charger, I am able to tell them that the identical items are available under another
label for half the price. When I get the same questions over and over, I create a Web page that answers those questions and place it on my site. Eventually people find my site a good source of information
and start spreading the word. Soon I get lots of hits and lots of direct sales. Direct sales mean instant sales, without the delay of auctions or listing and final value fees.
So don't start by
looking to see where you can find "stuff." Begin by looking at what product you have a passion for. Do you collect stamps, coins or baseball cards? Enjoy photography? Love old movies? Can you spot
a good deal on an antique at an estate sale? Then this is where you should start. You should be excited about your product and enjoy talking about it so you can address your customers' questions without
getting irritated. It will allow you to become an authority in your field. It may help you spot that special deal, the item selling for $5 at an estate sale that can fetch hundreds of dollars on eBay with
the proper presentation.
So stop thinking about selling "stuff" and think about having fun while you enjoy your hobby and build your business.

PAYPAL FILES TO GO PUBLIC
PayPal announced on Friday the
filing of a registration statement for the initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock. PayPal is a person-to-person (P2P) online payment system that rose to popularity through its promotions to online
auction users. Copies of the written prospectus relating to the proposed offering may be obtained from Salomon Smith Barney, Brooklyn Army Terminal, 140 58th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11220. The Orlando
Sentinel newspaper site carried an interesting story with facts & figures from the prospectus (PayPal has lost $231 million since its inception and expects to lose more next year)):

HOW ARE EBAY STORES PERFORMING?
A September 28th article in E-Commerce Times says eBay Stores are underwhelming. "The only problem is that once you get inside a store, the most visually appealing
thing on your screen is the "Back" button on your browser,...,Even the storefront maintained by Big Blue has little more than the IBM logo in one corner to distinguish it." The article by
Keith Regan, called "eBay Stores Not Ready for Prime Time," can be found here: <http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/13720.html>.

5) COLLECTOR'S CORNER
Happy Birthday, Brownie Camera!
One of the easiest ways to take
photographs is to go to your local store and buy a disposable camera. But what if you lived in 1901 instead of 2001? What if you were a kid and wanted to take some pictures of you and your friends at the
beach?
Kodak recently celebrated the 101st year anniversary of the Brownie camera. The first Brownie camera debuted in February 1900 and cost a dollar! It was designed and marketed to children.
The name for the camera came from a popular children's culture character of the time named Brownie. The Brownie was the 1900's equivalent of today's Pokeman. Every child knew the Brownie characters by
name just by looking at an illustration.
In order to promote the use of the Brownie camera for kids, Mr. George Eastman had boldly entered a new realm of marketing for photography. He focused his
marketing efforts strictly towards children. He thought beyond the U.S. borders and encouraged kids around the world to join the "Brownie Photo Club."
The Brownie photo club encouraged
children to participate in photo contests and win prizes. Kodak's marketing experiment paid off with a loyal audience of children thrilled at the idea of becoming ace photojournalists, secret agents and
world-renowned photographers.
Within the first year of Kodak's introduction of the Brownie camera, 150,000 cameras were shipped out all over the world. Prior to the introduction of the Brownie camera,
Kodak's best selling model had shipped only 50,000. Kodak continued to manufacture the Brownie for the next 70 years.
The first Brownie camera was a simply made camera. It was a box camera with a
very basic lens structure and film retrieval system. However, the Brownie started to grow beyond its intended audience and wind up in the hands of adults as well. The design was kept simple so that everyone
could use it with ease.
The most common Brownie cameras people can find for sale today are Brownie models 1, 2, 3, Hawkeye and junior Hawkeye. They run anywhere from $10-30 dollars. If you like to
experiment with photography, the box models like the 1, 2 and 3 are abundant and make excellent pinhole cameras.
The more exotic Brownies that come up on the marketplace are the 1939 World's Fair
model, the official Boy Scouts model, the Beau models and the Coca-Cola model. These Brownies are more unusual and run anywhere from $100-300 per camera.
If you have an old Brownie at home and wish
to do a little research on your camera and its value, I strongly suggest visiting the Brownie Camera page at <http://www.members.aol.com/Chuck02178/brownie.htm>. Chuck runs an excellent site and is
more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
If you just want a stroll down memory lane, check out Kodak's Brownie Anniversary page at <http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/brownieCam/brownieCam.s html
>.
I'd like to say, Happy Birthday to the Brownie camera. Thank you for all the smiles you gave millions of people young and
old for 101 wonderful years.

8) Letter to the Editor
Good Morning:
I finished reading this new update & was not surprised to read that Auction Watch was having trouble. I used AW for over a year & during that time my confidence in them
became less & less. If we had a problem or wanted an answer to a question about their hosting service, you would send an email but NEVER got an answer. There was no phone number to call or any other
method to contact anyone at AW.
They forced me to look elsewhere for the same or better service, which I found at Auctionworks.com. They not only answer emails the same day, but you can call them on
their toll free "800" phone number. They also have a training period where someone from Auctionworks calls you & works with you several times for a period of at least two (2) hours. This is how
professional services are supposed to operate, not like Auction Watch. I had told a friend that if [Auction Watch] continued to operate in this manner, it wouldn't be long before they would close. I am sorry
that they didn't change, because they were my 1st hosting company. I even sent an email to the CEO (R.Sales) complaining of this no contact experience, but to this day, no answer. That's when I knew they
were not long for this world. Too bad, they have a nice software package for hosting. I don't like to hear that companies starting on the road to closing or selling out, but "if" there is bad
management, they should get better people to operate it.
Best Regards,
P.
Dear P.,
People have urged me to write more about customer service at companies, but it is difficult to
measure the quality and consistency of customer service of all the auction sites and services. Not to mention that things change over time.
Readers are in the best position to comment on the services
that they use regularly, and I welcome you to post in our forums and also leave reviews in the AuctionBytes Yellow Pages.
<
http://www.auctionbytes.com/bin/bizdirectory/biz-dir-index.pl>
Managing a company takes a lot of resources and is even more challenging in this economy, but customer service should ALWAYS be a top priority. Successful auction sellers know this first-hand.
