How Gilbbert and Frech Built An eBay Business
The book is basically my story about selling on eBay the last 6 years. Right now, my dad and I are the only full time workers along with just a few part time workers - we sell over 50,000 items per month on one eBay account alone, Robert Frechette tells me when I request a review copy of his ebook.
Previously, I’d never heard of Robert Frechette and would find it hard to believe that a simple father and son setup would ever become the number one eBay Volume Seller. However, between May - August 2006 this is exactly what Robert Frechette has achieved selling over 214,000 items during this period.
“How Gilbert & Frech Built an eBay Business One Bid at a Time”, tells the story of how this amazing achievement came about building an eBay business anyone would be proud of. While I’m writing this, their eBay account (Gilbertandfrech) shows a massive 29690 positive feedback comments received within the last month.
With a foreword by Jim Cockrum, of “The Silent Sales Machine hiding on eBay” Cockrum sums up the most surprising and achieving aspect of Gilbertandfrech’s business model. “It would be easy it brag about a company with 30 employees selling tens of thousands of items every month on eBay, but who would be inspired by that?” - Not many of us.
Over six chapters, Robert tells us his story. This is not a how to guide, containing articles and tutorials but told personally by Robert about how the Gilbertandfrech ebay account has made it to the number one position. About how he started selling second hand clothes on eBay, making a profit of just $209 in 1999 and building up their ebay sales to a fulltime business. It wasn’t even intentional, Robert never set out to become the #1 eBay volume seller.
There are even more surprises in store when you learn what the Gilbertandfrech empire mainly sell. One would have presumed they’d be offering high value items, such as electronic items or even selling as a trading assistant offering other peoples unwanted items. But, the main focus of sales is centered around selling Jewelry, mainly for a few dollars each.
The ebook concludes with a few tips of what’s worked and what hasn’t for Gilbertandfrech. This ebook is a real opportunity to follow the biggest eBay success story that was ever created, if your looking for inspiration from someone who has really been there and made it to the top of ebay this is essential reading.
UPDATE: As of September 2007 Rob is no longer selling his ebook. It is only available as part of membership of Jim Cockrums MySilentTeam - Click to read more.Â
