Is It Worth It?
By Scott Ryan | March 22, 2008
I want to answer a question you might have. You might be wondering if Sky High Auctions is worth it. My answer is yes. But now ask me if I think you should join. My answer is… well, maybe… but probably not.
SHA makes one thing clear in the very first lesson. And to be perfectly honest, I can understand why they do NOT mention the information given in the first lesson on their sales page.
It’s mentioned that in order to achieve success with eBay it does not take a lot of money. That’s good. And it’s also a natural for a sales page. It definitely tells the reader what they want to hear. But then the lesson says something most will not accept. It is the reality check: it is going to take time and it is going to take work.
And that is where the “rubber hits the road”. The fact is 95% of the people purchasing SHA will not succeed. SHA is not a magic lamp. It is a guide. An experienced guide that, ironically, will save you time and effort, saving you from making unnecessary mistakes. But it still takes time and effort to make it all work. Becoming an eBay Powerseller is not something you achieve by just throwing money at. If you want to throw money at something, I certainly know what you could throw your money at for an absolutely incredible return. But that’s for another post, probably on one of my other blogs.
So this is what I recommend, and for what it’s worth, because I don’t know you, all I can do is play the odds. And the odds are, from my POV, you will not succeed if you join SHA. So don’t do it. I’m about to take this “eBay Journey” “down the rabbit hole”. So if you are still curious about SHA and what it really takes to become a Powerseller, well then you’ve got the opportunity to have a front row seat. And like the theme of this site is, it’s going to cost you a “whopping one cent” a day for the entertainment and the “cheap” education, saving you a helluva lot of frustration and mistakes. That’s my job to experience those things.
I’ll get the payment mechanism in place this weekend for a one year “membership” to this “eBay Journey” that will cost $3.65.
The next post on this topic on this blog will contain the payment button. After that, all posts will be “down the rabbit hole”. And the first post will be my angst and solution concerning what should be the “item” of my first auction!
Be Seeing You,
Scott
A postscript: the next post does not contain a Payment button. I’ve decided, given the recent events with eBay, to leave my comments for the time being “open to the public”. I need to establish more anticipation for readers before I ask anyone for literally, a few cents.
