    I have been going to Lifeline Bookfest for years and as a book collector I have never been bothered by booksellers purchasing their stock. There is thousands of books and it’s fantastic to see businesses buying their books from a wonderful grassroots charity rather than some international corporation. I just can’t see what’s not to love! Keep hauling those books! 💪❤

    Hi Mel, love all your videos but this was great! I know you said it was difficult to film and pick at a book fair, but more of these videos please. You are so organised and it was great Lifeline had a table for you 😀😀👍

    • @backfromburnout
      @backfromburnout  หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Ok thank you. I always worry the camera footage isn’t straight and I cut peoples heads off lol. It’s just hard to push the trolley, hold the camera, pick the books and price comp on the other phone. I have high expectations on myself and how I want the quality so I always stress the bookfair footage isn’t good enough. I filmed another one a few weeks ago but it had loud music playing so I have to voice over and it will be a bit harder to edit but I’ll get it out soon.
      Heading to another bookfair tomorrow so will try and film that one :)

      Some people strongly dislike resellers as they think we take all the good books. As you can see there is thousands of books! First in best dressed, I pay the same as anyone else and buy a lot more which contributes $$$ to the charity which is the aim of the bookfair. They need money and I have it to give :) I contribute tens of thousands to the charity shops and organisations.

    Love, love, loved this book fair clip and watching you in action: selection method, speed and positive attitude. Book fair shopping is the only 'sport' I play 😂 and I barely worry anymore about the odd looks I get when price comping and stacking up big book piles. I agree, it's certainly exhausting with all that visual overload and trying to quickly price judge by eye or comp on a little screen. Xx

    • @backfromburnout
      @backfromburnout  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Honestly there is so many people there buying up large loads. If people ask me why I’m buying so many I just tell them I’m a dealer. I find they like and react better to the word dealer rather than reseller. The bigger bookfairs like Lifeline welcome resellers. It’s the smaller small town bookfairs that sometimes struggle with the idea of what we do. At the end of the day we’re all just trying to rehome an abundance of unwanted books.

I was definitely overwhelmed and did not pick well at all. Plus the books are very heavy as you said. I might try again next year, now that I have some experience behind me. I am an 'everything' seller still. I do love selling books but not sourcing them.

      Pick one shelf unit in the warehouse that you know that has books that have been there a long time and have a sale on them. That way you get rid of old stuff and make room for your new books.

    Oh man! I got excited looking at all those books - I would have been stacking up on the travel writing and there was a book called Islands that I would have picked up (for home library haha) Did well, Mel, wish we had Lifeline here in our town!! Can’t wait to get my childrens’ cookbooks that ordered from you for my grandkids ❣️🌺💕😍🌻

    Thank you for sharing the price of the books at your wonderful book fair! At the last 2 trips to my Goodwill the prices were that high for obvious popular books. I have to take my toddler grandson with me so it gets very difficult to comp in the store. You have a very good strategy!

    Just a suggestion: what if you put an ikea bag (or two if there is room for it) in your trolley and put the books directly in the bag. When you get to your table, you can just lift up the bag on the table. If it gets heavy, you can put two bags on top of each other in your trolley. And it might make the transfer to the car easier too.

    Overwhelming is the word! How would a new book seller even start? Does one focus on one genre at a time?

    • @backfromburnout
      @backfromburnout  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When I first started I would spend all day there price comping. Now I can get in and out in a few hours but it can be very overwhelming. Just start at the first table and and start walking and looking.

    It's a fascinating segment today. I enjoyed watching it. I was surprised you gave the antiquarian section a total pass. There may be little market for antiquarian material in Australia. You did very well today, young lady. :>)

    • @backfromburnout
      @backfromburnout  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I do look at it but not at the beginning because the books I pick first are by eye and I leave the ones I need to research further to last. I did buy a nice selection of old western books from that section a little later on.

    This is amazing! Not sure we have anything similar in the UK.
    I used to donate low value fiction to the local hospital, but since the c19 they won't take any more books sadly.
    So, we have set up a book exchange in the office

      Thom has one. The problem is the information isn’t as accurate as most reseller in AU don’t enter the barcode number in a listing. So if there is no barcode there is no history to get the solds from. I think I’ve become a better reseller as I have to manually learn and how it in
