Answers to your Burning Questions
Hi Guys,
You probably have some questions about Sky High Auctions and I’d like to take this time to clear the air for you. I’ve poured through the email from this week and found the most commonly asked questions.
Here they are with my answers:
1. How can I get a copy of Sky High Auctions and what is the price?
Sky High Auctions will be released on Thursday March 6th at 11am EST. If you are subscribed to the Sky High Auctions pre-launch list, you’ll receive access one hour before anyone else (ie 10am EST). Click here to find out the exact time in your area .
2. What is Sky High Auctions?
To explain what Sky High Auctions is, what we’ve done is assembled the best of our eBay Powerseller contacts and online auction gurus and put together what we believe to be the best and most comprehensive course available that teaches you how to make a full time living from online auction sites, such as eBay.
You’ll learn everything including
- how to choose which products to sell
- how to source them
- how to get your customers to buy from you again and again
- how to set up your own website
- how to set up an autoresponder to follow up with your customers
- how to organize your store so that you niche properly (many of the course creators have excellent examples, e.g. pricebreakerno1, who sells costumes)
- how to automate your eBay business using the various software tools
- how to deal with eBay’s new feedback rules and fees
- how to make incredible money selling ebooks on eBay and so much more!
I hope this answers your question well. Me and my powerseller friends have paved the way to make your path to online auction success a LOT shorter than it possibly could have been without our course.

3. How did you get to know the other powersellers who created Sky High Auctions?
We meet powersellers through introductions through other powersellers, and through the forums and through others contacting me via SaleHoo itself. Mark Ling, co-owner of Sky High Auctions, was travelling around the world last year and met up with several of these powersellers in person (UK and USA). He also attended eBay university and made lots of contacts there. We’ve formed many of these relationships over the last 5 years.
4. Why is the $167 price only for the first 500 members?
We are selling Sky High Auctions at $267, but we thought it might create some buzz if we offered it for $167 to the first 500 customers. We’re rewarding the early movers, however $267 in of itself is a low price when you consider the value in Sky High Auctions. I’ve seen a lot of worse courses sell for $5000 and more.
5. Do you teach how to source products and how to scale your business?
Yes and yes. We teach all the product sourcing secrets that I and my powerseller friends use to source products at low prices. We also teach you step-by-step how to use the various software tools that we use to automate a lot of our business, which frees up a lot of our time.
6. Will creating and selling ebooks be part of the course?
Yes, 2 of the powersellers who contributed to creating Sky High Auctions earn their millions through selling ebook on eBay and teach how they do it in the Sky High Auctions members area.
7. Why is the price $267? ($167 for first 500 customers)
Working with the 15 powersellers and compiling this course actually took a LOT of time and money. We’ve been working on it for close to 2 years now and other aspects such as video editing (there are over 30 hours of videos in the members area), proofing, graphic design, writing (there are written versions of each lesson) and so forth caused this project to be very expensive.
We wanted to price it at an affordable price for most people, yet we also want to be rewarded for the incredible value that we are offering. If you compare this business opportunity to buying a business franchise, $267 is a drop in the bucket compared to paying $200,000 to buy a business franchise. Yet there is every chance that you’ll earn more from this business than if you were to buy a franchise in a brick and mortar business.
The other consideration on our part is that there will be a lot of bandwidth taken up by these videos (we’ve compressed them so they will load fast, but there is over 30 hours of them in the members area).
At the end of the day, we feel that $267 is an incredible price for the value on offer.
8. Can I email you and have you personally answer questions about the course before launch day?
Yes, you can email me at jimmy@skyhighauctions.com. Emails have been pouring in, so please give me 24 hours to respond.
Just a reminder… Make sure you’re at your computer at 11am (EST) on Thursday 6th March 2008 for the Launch of Sky High Auctions!

P.S. I just hung up the phone with John Thornhill (an eBay millionaire) and it looks like he’s all telling his entire newsletter list about this. We recently added an interview with him to the members area of Sky High Auctions, so it makes sense for him to tell his list about it.
Also - Mark Ling from Affilorama is going to be telling his entire list of 27,233 subscribers about Sky High Auctions on launch day.
Anyway - I’m not psychic, but I think it’s safe to say that 500 copies at the launch pricing will be gone very quickly. It’s still incredible value at $267, but if you want to get in at the launch price, I’d set March 6th in my calendar if I were you.
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

Hi Jimmy, I like your presentation and style for your videos. A few questions: 1. What’s your impression of the potential for selling ebooks only (I didn’t want to deal with warehousing products)? 2. Does your course explain how to get resale rights and contact information for source material to get started with ebooks? 3. What’s your guarantee on your product? Thanks Francis
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Thanks for your comment. Here’s some answers to your questions:
1. It is a very lucrative market. John (an eBay powersller on the course) makes over $1million a year from this technique and he teaches it to Sky High members in a video interview we did with him. It is a very smart way to go if you don’t want to ware house products.
2.Yes we do! (Sky High Auctions actually comes with some resell rights ebooks; we just haven’t made this public yet as it will only be for the first 500 people).
3. We offer a full 56 days money back guarantee!

Could this program apply to beginners. I’m one of those people who’ve joined many wholesale memberships but haven’t gotten past the fear (I guess that’s what it is.) to actually start a e-commerce website/auction page. I see it constantly (big ideas, being a outrageous successful business woman)but I’m not living it (FUDGE!) The only thing I can do is everyday re-determine myself. So whatta’ ya’ think, would I be wasting my money or is this the real deal, cause this time I’m gonna do it; but I’m a single mother of three, with a new 9 month grandchild and I can’t afford to be bamboozled. Thanking you in advance.
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Sky High Auctions caters for people of all abilities, that is the beauty about how we have it setup. There are 15 beginner lessons, with the first one as simple as "Introduction to Auctions & Marketplaces" and then leading onto the second lesson on "Registering with eBay: What You MUST Know Before You Sell". We have left no stone unturned and have tried to cover even possible part of eBay you would need help with.
Remember we do have a 56 day refund policy if you aren’t happy with it for any reason.
Hope this helps

3-4-08 I do appreciate your emails about SkyHigh Auctions, however, I’m still not sure that I understand the whole picture. I have been researching opening an online store for two years now and I have not had any success because I need to find my Niche and know exactly what I am doing and THE MAIN MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPT IN THIS WHOLE THING IS ONLINE STORE IS GETTING THE CUSTOMERS TO BUY FROM YOU AND FIND YOU. I HAVE NOT FOUND ONE SINGLE GURANTEE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN. THERE IS SO MUCH COMPETITION THAT WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO BUY FROM ME WHEN THEY CAN TRUST WALMART.COM TARGET.COM, ETC. NOW IS SKYHIGH AUCTION ONLY DEAL WITH EBAY AND I WOULD SET UP A STORE ON EBAY AND SELL WHOSE PRODUCTS AND YOU TEACH ME THE BEST PRODUCTS THAT CUSTOMERS WILL WANT AND KEEP COMING BACK. I JUST WANT TO BELIEVE IN THIS AND PRAY IT’S FOR REAL. HAVE YOU HEARD OF ONLINESTORES.COM? THEY HAVE MY BOSS CONVINCED THAT SHE WILL BE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF GOOGLE, YAHOO, ETC. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE SECOND SEMINAR YESTERDAY FOR HER SINCE SHE IS OUT OF TOWN, BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME. THEY WANT ALMOST $4,000.00 START UP AND $200.00 PER MONTH TO HOST YOUR SITE. YOU SEE HOW CONFUSING THIS WHOLE INTERNET STUFF AND PROMISES. I WANT MY OWN BUSINESS, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO GET BURNED AGAIN. CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR OLD CUSTOMERS AND LET ME CONVERSE WITH THEM AND SEE HOW WELL THEY ARE DOING OR IS THAT NOT A POLICY. YOU HAVE MY INTEREST, I JUST HAVE COLD FEET AND NEED SOME REAL CONVINCING AND HELP UNDERSTANDING ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND IF THIS IS STRICTLY EBAY WORK, NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE INTERNET STORES? THANK YOU, SHARON SPENCER
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Its fine to have cold feet to begin with as their are alot of scams out there.
Sky High Auctions is a fact based course that walks you through the steps and methods that over 15 powersellers have used to sell successfully on eBay. We don’t teach internet stores BUT we do teach how to setup and run an eBay store etc..
Remember our course isn’t $5000+ (but it is as good, if not better than these ones!) but instead will be selling for $267 with the first 500 members getting a $100 discount on this!
We also offer a 56 day money back guarantee.
Hope this helps

I am in NZ and feel like I am so out of the ebay world. Is this course appropriate for kiwi’s
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
The great thing about Sky High Auctions is that it doesn’t just teach eBay! We also teach Trade Me for kiwis (we will be adding more lessons on this as well after launch) which makes it very appropriate for Kiwis.
Also, Grace (who records alot of the lessons) is from New Zealand so you will be familiar with the Kiwi accent
Hope this helps

I just saw your email and you did not answer the questions that you listed in the email. I really want to know if this is about selling ebooks…affilliate marketing….and with the time you chose it would be difficult to make the 11 am and want to know what or how else I can get this if the answers to your question is no. Also does this come with a guarantee
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Sorry we didn’t answer your questions. I’ll try and it do it now
1. We teach both methods of selling physical stock on eBay as well as how to sell & market eBooks on eBay. It does go into affiliate programs (using them as back ends etc..) a bit and we have video interviews with john who makes over $1 million a year selling eBooks on eBay.
2. The closer you get to purchasing at 11am the better as we have some really cool bonuses for the first 500 members.
3. We offer a full 56 days money back guarantee if you aren’t happy with your Sky High Auctions purchase.
Hope this helps
Jimmy
how do you find out whats sells weel on e bay and what doesn’t?
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Hi William
You need to research the different markets to see what is selling the best. We have full length video lessons teaching you how to do this within Sky high Auctions.
Using these videos will save you a lot of time and effort trawling through eBay results trying to figure it all out.
Hope this helps
Jimmy
What kind of money back guarantee are you offering if the course isn’t all you say it is.
Reply from Sky High Auctions:
Thanks for your blog comment. We offer a full 56 days money back guarantee if you aren’t happy with your Sky High Auctions purchase.
Hope this helps

I’m sorry but your release time is 3am here, so there’s no point in sending me an email an hour earlier as I’ll be asleep.
Will help me with my paintball site?
