No one can deny the impact the Internet is having on our day-to-day lives. The Virgin Internet Guides supply the concise, digestible, and reliable information the public wants in order to keep up-to-date with this rapidly changing technology. And as the Internet continues to develop into an absolutely integral part of our work and home lives, Virgin begins introducing in Fall 2000 specialist guides to meet the increasingly specialist needs of web users. These will be complimented by updates of our more core classics: the general guide to the Internet and guides to shopping and travel.The Internet is all about making connections, and auction sites -- ones that connect buyers directly with sellers -- have really taken off on the Net. 'eBay' and 'auction' are among the most commonly used search terms, and online trading communities like eBay and QXL have become major Internet hubs. Even giants of the web such as AOL and Yahoo! have embraced the craze and set up auction sites of their own.In this giant global marketplace, you can find anything from Barbie dolls to rare stamps, old magazines to new computer hardware, even refrigerators and ovens. And all at prices you negotiate yourself, using the ancient art of auction bidding. The Virgin Internet Auction Guide explains how it all works and takes readers through the procedures and processes step by step, so there's no need to be intimidated.We also give essential advice on security and the law, and of course hundreds of carefully-researched URLs to point readers at the very best auction websites -- whatever they're looking for.
