As a nation, we have come of age through technology. Internet technology is empowering entrepreneurs like Austin Hoffman to operate their own online businesses. When I first met this young man in January 2004, he was a winner of the TCU Youth Entrepreneur of the Year award and a sophomore in high school. Already a veteran of hundreds of garage sales, auctions, and flea markets, Austin was well on his way at an early age. Unlike most books on this topic which tend to concentrate on computer application, "Guerilla Garage Sales" is filled with sound business principles, plus helpful tips on how to operate a small business and product acquisition. Ranging from real-life business experiences to the imaginative weaving of historical events, Austin’s how-to approach appeals to a wide range of ages and walks of life. Written in a clear, direct style, this is an indispensable guide for anyone not familiar with the brave new world of online store operation. This little guide will bring you hours of thought provoking, useful, and memorable rules for selling on the Net.

Congratulations to Austin Hoffman for his first publication surrounding entrepreneurship. "Guerilla Garage Sales" is a must read for anyone seeking to make a profit in the eBay world (or any other online sales). In a step by step and easy to follow style, Hoffman walks the reader through every necessary step required to be successful (profitable) in online sales. I highly recommend this book to any young aspiring entrepreneur in need of a business idea. Follow Hoffman’s advice and in return you will gain valuable business experience. In addition to being a valuable resource to experienced eBay gurus, "Guerilla Garage Sales" is also a great book for parents to buy their business-minded college, even high school, kids.

When it comes to sourcing products through garage sales and reselling them on the internet, "Guerilla Garage Sales" is an excellent resource. The book is like going to a nuts and bolts seminar on the art of turning unwanted merchandise in to profits. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in creating a nice little business that you can do out of the comfort of your own home and with minimal cash outlay.
