 Just an okay book
I purchased this book before going on a long trip, thinking that it would be a great, light book to have on the plane and in the hotel room when I had nothing better to do.
br /
br /I'm not going to bash this book over and over, but I must say that it did not live up to the hype that other, similar books have.
br /
br /The writing, while somewhat creative, is just simply BORING for me. Yeah, it was interesting to see some of the eBay sellers reactions to the questions, but after a while it was just like "meh, whatever...not funny." One other book, similar to this but what I recommend MUCH, MUCH more is Consumer Joe, but Paul Davidson.
br /
br /If you get this book for under $5.00, I would say that's not a bad deal. But don't shell out $12.00 like I did for this book, thinking that it would provide pages and pages of comedy and entertainment, because it won't.
 Letters to Ebay
Hilarious Book! Had us all laughing hysterically. Stories are skillfuly created in author's mind and it's fascinating to see how one bluff skillfully is intertwined with the next. Great bathroom reading for those who love some fun! Absolutely comical.
What a Find!!!
I have been a buyer and seller on Ebay for years, so when Letters to Ebay came out I knew it would be a fun read. And like most of my purchases, I was not disappointed. This is a very funny book!
br /
br /In my opinion, this book is best enjoyed when browsed through. I don't recommend reading cover to cover, although it can be tough to put down; some of the entries are hilarious.
br /
br /Letters to Ebay reminded me of the old-school radio station pranks that kept me glued to my radio when I was a kid. The stunts that Art Farkas pulls off with his letters to unsuspecting sellers are as funny as some of the best pranks from years ago.
br /
br /The real question for Mr. Farkas is can he do it again? As a satisfied reader of his first effort, I sure hope so!
Letters to Ebay Twisted and Hilarious
If you're looking for something weird, twisted, and hilarious to pass some down time, then pick up a copy of Art Farkas' (pen name of Central Valley eBay enthusiast and author Paul Meadors) Letters to Ebay.
br /
br /Amazon lists the book's key phrases as "happy bidding," "lint rollers," "deer jerky," and "depression glass" - fitting for this farcical, oftentimes obsessive, exploration of the virtual world of online consumerism.
br /
br /Letters to Ebay is one of those books that's just plain good to have around when there's a possibility of a few moments down time. The letters/answers are quick reads and can be taken in small doses. Farkas knows how to shape an incredibly ridiculous question with just enough detail and earnest tone to make it believable. And the unsuspecting vendors bite, responding here with good natured sincerity, there with exasperation. The questions - funny; the real-life responses - even funnier!
br /
br /Keep this book around - it's worth a big laugh a day.
