There is no mystery – you need only four things to be successful on ebay:
#1 The right niche.
#2 The right category.
#3 The right keywords in your title.
#4 The right image.
Combine all 4 correctly and you will hit a home run just like in the example above with an amazing 30 bids and a final value of $150.97!
#1 Cecil Aldin is a highly collectible artist and one of my very favorite vintage print niches on ebay – lots of buyers trying to out bid each other for that rare or unusual item to add to their collections!
#2 A surprising choice of category in this case but it has worked very well (horses are very popular subjects on ebay!)
#3 The title is packed with the keywords that the buyers are searching for.
#4 The image is a sharp, close up view showing all of the detail of the art work.
Here is another example:
Again, a good choice of category to attract the right eyeballs (lovers of sporting art)
Plenty of keywords in the title using up all of the available space – again attracting the right eyeballs!
Another crisp, close up image – done properly, this sells the item.
Another great result with multiple bids and a very healthy final value!
Cecil Aldin – a very lucrative niche!
This niche is perfect for the Prints Make Profits business model because it is a very active niche with lots of buyers from all over the world and Cecil Aldin was a prolific artist who illustrated many hundreds of different book titles during his long career.
This means that the books containing the sought after prints are easy to find and if you know which books to buy you can’t fail to make substantial profits just like in my examples above (both of the book plates above are from a book that can be purchased for less than $100 and contains 16 similarly sought after illustrations)
Would you like to see some more examples from this amazing niche?
Here we have 3 more prints taken from a book illustrated by Cecil Aldin.
This particular book can be bought online today for less than $30!
Oh and it contains 18 beautiful examples of Cecil Aldin’s horse art!
If these numbers have piqued your interest then I have some great news for you!

Stuart,
How do I determine that a particular book contains actual lithographs and not reproductions? Surely some of these books were reproduced.
Thanks for raising this interesting point, Andy!
Lithographs are created by applying a coating of wax to a stone or a metal plate, the image is then drawn onto this surface and when ink is applied it is repelled by the greasy surface allowing the image to be impressed onto the paper.
If you examine the prints with a magnifying lens and see evidence of mechanical reproduction like uniform rows of dots then these are not original lithographs (more likely offset-lithographs)
Obviously it is not possible to inspect the prints until they are in your hands – in these circumstances you are reliant on the description provided by the book seller.
One important point to remember is that the right art work sells regardless of the method of production. The book plates featured in this post all made excellent profits but they aren’t original lithographs.
They are popular because of the artist, the subject matter and also because they are antique items (over 100 years old)
Hi Stuart,
I’m not sure if I am ready to get back into eBay yet, but I admit that your course has me intrigued. All of the listings seem to be from the United Kingdom. Are they fairly easy to find in the United States?
Thanks for your question, George!
Please check out Paul’s case study on the Instant Expert sales page: http://instantaldinexpert.com/
Paul has made over $700 profit following my advice in the Cecil Aldin niche and he lives in Iowa
I list my own Aldin prints on ebay.co.uk but I get regular US buyers and find that English country sports is a very popular niche in the US.
If you check out addall.com you’ll find that it is very easy to source the popular Aldin titles in the US
Does the report cover matting and packing process?
Thanks
Hoss
Thanks for your question, Hoss!
The course includes my step by step matting guide plus mat dimensions (and even color suggestions!) for the featured books.
I have set up a dedicated email address for all of your additional questions:

Hey there Stuart:
I been getting your newsletter for sometime, and please when I say this, when reading all the above, and seeing that this can be sold on Ebay can you really make some kind of money?? And if so, where do I fine these pictures?? I am on the fence (lol) and I like to try but get a litter scared I guess.
Thanks for your question, Toni!
I reveal exactly which books to buy, how much to pay for them, which categories to list in, the keywords you must use in fact I tell you everything you need to know to make the kind of profits I show in my post.
I understand your nervousness about taking the plunge but you can’t really go wrong with this niche if you follow my methods.
Ok Thank You!
Hi Toni,
I have bought a number of Stuart’s products and I can honestly say you’ll have no problems. If you follow what Stuart is teaching you, you will progress.
I have sold prints on eBay using Stuart’s techniques and I thoroughly enjoy doing what he has taught me.
Give it a go mate, at the end of the day there is a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
Regards
Donald
