I'm working with a graphic artist to get the feel down that I want however what I want and what is appealing to the masses are two different things. I much rather have atomic starburst's, retro shapes and what not. What do you think of his latest? All comments welcome (I think, lol)

Too busy!  Too many words, too many colors, too many images.  I'd like to see your retro idea with atomic starbursts.

I agree with Mattie. It really doesn't grab my attention, sorry.

He's getting there! Here is a pic based off a sketch I did. I'm having him tweak it a bit more but this is more my style.

Keep in mind the cover is more of a secondary factor as the sales page will have more details. Nonetheless, I still think it matters.

I do like the second look better. First one was too cluttered.
The cover is a VERY big deal. You have 3 seconds to make that first impression.

I like the second on way better.  The first one didn't really scream "vintage" like the second does.

Thanks for the feedback. I got another revision today. I think I'm ready to launch with this cover. Let me know what you all think? I value your feedback.

The color & design of the revised book is much cuter & eye catching than the original.  I might change the "starring Brigette Martinez" bubble as it doesn't seem relavant to me.  I would say by Brigette Martinez 10 year Ebay member, seller since 1999, etc. or Ebay Powerseller if you have been a power seller.  I think it is important to emphasize your credentials as an Ebay guide.

Thanks! Well, the idea was that rather then saying "By Brigitte Martinez", the graphic being a "drive in" marquee , I'm the star so to speak. I don't know how technical I want to be as the sales page will have most of the pertinant info. This is, although an important detail, not a major detail.

Hm? Contemplating.  Huh
