The first three minutes of this video is literally the story of my life and house. I have filled it with all my ebay stuff and now, to move one thing, I have to move something else. I don't have any true working surfaces right now. You and I have discussed this before, but I do need to get a storage space, remove it all from my home and then create the stations for my computer, shipping, supplies and back fill my stock. It's just that first step that's so hard for me. So satisfying to see the floor space becoming clearer. How tall are you btw? 😍 So happy to see you so happy. 😊
You found my mojo again, I tidied my outside store room today and also my inside office/clothing/packing room. Both were a massive mess and I kept putting it off, I felt amazing after the tidy up. Thank you for giving me the motivation! 🥰
I am going to start selling books. Your videos are aweome. I have been watching you on and off for a few months. I don't know if I well ever get as big as you though. Keep the great videos coming I hope to keep learning from you.
I knew there was a method to your madness 🤣🤣 great end result! Now you can relax and enjoy your night out. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next time ☺️
I feel for you. I have a suggestion maybe you could give each shelf a sku number that you can put that in the custom sku on Facebook. It would be so much easier for you to find your items
You have my utmost blessings to get your items organized. I hope you have some sort of a system to find that book when it sells. OMG. OMG. Good luck 👍👍👍😎
i find it hard to get motivated or organize myself but i find watching videos like yours kicks me up the bum to do something so thanks for the videos , i just need to list all the cloths i have now lol ,get me a pint in i cant drink here in the uk we in lockdown
You're so industrious Mel, a large task to tackle and although it can look absolute carnage during the reshuffling process, the end result is satisfaction and punching the air in triumph. Love the inspiring content and very well put together too.
Thanks so much Ian for watching. It feels good to get stuff done that I’ve been putting off! And today I was able to work without tripping over everything which was nice lol
Love the energy in this video, I’m a bit like you when I get going into something I’m right into it & It feels so good when you know your on top of your game. Keep up the great content !!!
What an unreal job. Should be proud of yourself Mel! Was just thinking if the bundles are listed. Maybe pack them and add a label (number or letter and number whatever is easiest) and store them like that. Ready to be shipped?
Thank you, it makes me very happy doing this along with sharing my story on TH-cam. Some of the bundles I do give a number if I have similar types of bundles. I think the letter of author will work for a while longer but if they doubled in numbers it might be different :)
If I were you I would go shelf by shelf list them and put them back organized. I go tub by tub because I sell all kinds of hard goods I’ve been going through 5 tubs of video game consoles controllers and the actual games so that’s a ton of testing more than 25 consoles alone😳😳😳😳
Awesome job of organizing Mel! Great video as always. Thank you so much for putting out great content. You do inspire me to do better at my part-time resellering! :)
Hi there I really enjoy your upload just a thought your death pile room could be listed Monday to Sunday and have a folder of when you got the latest bundles of books in and put the remain on the floor until you clear up the previous weeks book a 2 week rotation so your not to overwhelming yourself with lots of books and you have space to move in the room and sort them out
Yes, thats a good idea and could work. I think I mostly just need to take a month off sourcing lol. Easier said then done ha ha. I like the sourcing :)
It’s such a pain when you can’t find something isn’t it lol. I feel so much better getting this done. Thank you for watching and welcome to my channel!
Yes that is correct. They are books I got in large hauls for cheap or for free so I haven't paid much for them, but if I can bundle a couple of similar books up and sell as a pair for around $16 -$20 then they will be worth it my time.
Hi John! Thank you and welcome to my channel! I just rent the units but I'm lucky to be in a quiet corridor and I make use of all the corridor and space! It's like a little warehouse for me :)
Hmmm ... floor space .... time for another haul :) I liked your price sorting bins - very smart !! With your single books will you stay with the A-Z storage method or will you move to a row-bay-shelf location system ? great video Mel
Yes, bring me all the hauls lol! I do want to change SKU systems. It's going to be a big job though to add SKU to all the listed books - especially as they are spread between different eBay stores.
@@backfromburnout Just a suggestion - Leave the currently listed books as they are & keep consolidating them as they sell. As the bays empty out put the new SKU location on the newly listed books. That way if the book has no SKU its in the A-Z section, with SKU its in the location as noted.
I don't know what your storage system is but was thinking that you could put the books together on the shelf under the you date listed them and put the listing date in your sku. Regardless of genre. They would be much easier to find too.
This was a mint video hun am thick as hell lol looks like my ADHD life but I would be worse not chosen my route yet just learning as much as I can off here I do like the idea of selling junk for a profit would you recommend junk shops for books and trying apps or are they a rip off thanks Rick uk 🇬🇧👍ps totally newbe
Hi Robert, Thank you so much, I'm so glad you are enjoying them. Can you tell me the Amazon method please. In Australia we are not allowed to sell second hand books on Amazon so I'm not exactly sure what their method is. Thank you!!
Hi Mel, it's a great job that your doing but have you thought about consolidating everything now into a small Office/Warehouse that has Power, Natural Light, Ventilation, Windows and maybe even Air Conditioning? Also have you thought about selling on Amazon??
I have but they are soooo expensive where I live. At least in the units I don;t have to pay for any insurances or electricity either. At this stage this is okay for me but if I expand I will have to weigh up extra costs. Sadly we can't sell second hand books on Amazon in Australia yet - but when we can I will be ready!
I probably should have got the trolley for moving some of the books but the camera was set up in the way for a lot of it. It is good exercise for me though which I need! LOL Thank you for watching!
HI Struggling a little with ur sku ideas and the way ur stacking... i don't get that ur sorting books by author unless ur using the same listing and NOT photographing each book for a new listing or each book have an Sku. I can understand it for NEW undamaged books but not for second hand. Each row should have a number, then u know where the book is, you work on a few rows a day. If gaps appear in your rows u merge the rows to make new rows.... Sku could be ShelfNo/RowNo/StackNo .. 1/1/1 1/2/1 etc
No, a few of them are empty and the others are held for long term storage users. The complex has just built a large building of new storage units and I think everybody is choosing to rent those ones first! I'm very lucky to be able to utilise all the extra space.
@@backfromburnout You're lucky. If I even leave a trolley parked too long outside one of my units I get the facility manager on my back or a phone call from the security team out of hours (the whole site is monitored 24/7 by CCTV). I've never seen any of the other occupants of the units on my corridor--but I'm pretty sure that if I did stack anything outside they would immediately by queuing to open up their units!
DON'T I KNOW IT!!! My Problem is having the Energy to carry me through to Finish the project!! I could send you a pic of MY MESS and I bet you would feel Much Better!!! And I'm like you, I am EASILY SIDETRACKED!!!
It's so hard when you get side tracked - I am terrible at it and my brain is always buzzing with new ideas. Thank you for watching me and for your lovely comment.
@@backfromburnout Yes, I suppose you have to...it's like an addiction, books= $ signs. Just don't burn out or it won't be fun anymore. I am just getting stsrted and every time I scan another book I buy it...even though I don't have the room. But I was thinking, why don't I get rid of my bed and stack more books there. Who needs a bed any way? I think I caught the disease :)

Always feels good to clean up the mess!
Yes it does! Thank you for watching!

Wow so impressed by how hard you worked - your arms and back must really ache - well done Mel.
Thanks so much! 😊It's quite the workout. I'm getting a 90 minute massage today which I am looking forward to!
Wish I lived in Australia I’d be your new best friend to help when ever you wanted, I love books, I also love you videos.
Oh thank you! I would love to meet you one day. Thank you so much for watching and encouraging me, I really appreciate the support.
i love the tub idea for sorting by price... you've got me thinking gerrrl.. lightbulb moment over here!!
It works well for me. I try and work in batches so do price comping in batches and then photos in batches which can often be on different days.
I'm the same way. If it's not organized and clean. I can't work. I rent a big warehouse space and sell a large variety of items.
It makes such a difference when working in a clean organised space. I felt so much better after organising this room. Thank you for watching me!
You found my mojo again, I tidied my outside store room today and also my inside office/clothing/packing room. Both were a massive mess and I kept putting it off, I felt amazing after the tidy up. Thank you for giving me the motivation! 🥰
Wonderful! This is amazing! I'm so glad, I honestly couldn't stop smiling I was happy to have got these jobs finally finished!
I am going to start selling books. Your videos are aweome. I have been watching you on and off for a few months. I don't know if I well ever get as big as you though. Keep the great videos coming I hope to keep learning from you.
You can do it! Thanks so much Larry! Good luck and keep me updated!
WOW Mel, what a huge undertaking. You must feel great and exhausted. You're very inspiring.
Thank you for watching me work :)
I knew there was a method to your madness 🤣🤣 great end result! Now you can relax and enjoy your night out. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next time ☺️
Thank you so much Tammy! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment x
I feel for you. I have a suggestion maybe you could give each shelf a sku number that you can put that in the custom sku on Facebook. It would be so much easier for you to find your items
Yes, I'm worming on a new SKU system. It's going to be a big job but I will certainly start one soon.
You have my utmost blessings to get your items organized. I hope you have some sort of a system to find that book when it sells. OMG. OMG. Good luck 👍👍👍😎
Thank you so much for watching!
i find it hard to get motivated or organize myself but i find watching videos like yours kicks me up the bum to do something so thanks for the videos , i just need to list all the cloths i have now lol ,get me a pint in i cant drink here in the uk we in lockdown
Oh I'm so glad it helps motivate you! Yes a pint! I love a cold beer!
You're so industrious Mel, a large task to tackle and although it can look absolute carnage during the reshuffling process, the end result is satisfaction and punching the air in triumph. Love the inspiring content and very well put together too.
Thanks so much Ian for watching. It feels good to get stuff done that I’ve been putting off! And today I was able to work without tripping over everything which was nice lol
I love your down to earth approach & always find your vids inspiring! Well done on getting organised
Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate the feedback! Thank you for watching.
Listened to your video with Chris Lin and you inspired me! Excited to see your work this year. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Chris is so motivating and always leaves me with a fire in my belly after I watch him!
Love the energy in this video, I’m a bit like you when I get going into something I’m right into it & It feels so good when you know your on top of your game. Keep up the great content !!!
Yes! Thank you! And it feels so good once you are done and have finished something! Thanks so much for watching me and the lovely comment!
Amazing, I loved this so inspiring, thank you for sharing. You are super organised xx
You are so welcome! Thank you for the encouragement and support x

Ok that's it..this video motivated me to get my storeroom sorted out..oh it doesn't stop hey!
YES!! I love that! We all need some motivation at times! I felt so good getting all this done! Thanks for watching!
If I were you I would go shelf by shelf list them and put them back organized. I go tub by tub because I sell all kinds of hard goods I’ve been going through 5 tubs of video game consoles controllers and the actual games so that’s a ton of testing more than 25 consoles alone😳😳😳😳
Oh wow, testing all those consoles is crazy!
Do you find that making videos of the work you do motivates you to get more of it done? Because I am motivated just watching lol
Yes I do! And it holds me accountable now to get my jobs finished! ha ha
Haha... decided to have a look and luck would have it, there's the Calendar Nana warned us about. :)
Awesome job of organizing Mel! Great video as always. Thank you so much for putting out great content. You do inspire me to do better at my part-time resellering! :)

Yes, thats a good idea and could work. I think I mostly just need to take a month off sourcing lol. Easier said then done ha ha. I like the sourcing :)
You might want to try putting Alphabetical Letter Magnets each shelf front,
since the shelves are Metal, and the letters can be rearranged with ease.
Yes I’ve been meaning to get those made as it would be faster each time I move shelves around. They are on my to do list. Thank you for watching!
I love your smile.
Why thank you :)
Great job! I need to do something like this very soon!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
You can do it! I felt sooooooo good after finishing these tasks! A weight was lifted!
This look like hard work, great job!
There is a lot of work in being a full time book seller - lucky I love it :) Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Great job. So inspirational.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching me!
Love it. Probably at least once a video I say I can’t find something, so I relate heavily to this.
Just discovered you, btw! Love your videos so far.
It’s such a pain when you can’t find something isn’t it lol. I feel so much better getting this done. Thank you for watching and welcome to my channel!
Also loved the price sorting tubs! I know you said you don't want to sell $12 books is that because you include free postage?
Yes that is correct. They are books I got in large hauls for cheap or for free so I haven't paid much for them, but if I can bundle a couple of similar books up and sell as a pair for around $16 -$20 then they will be worth it my time.
You have a mini library going on there, you could charge people to come and rent a book 📚
If I had a proper warehouse I would love to open one day a week to the public. Maybe one day!
this is a great idea!
LOVE that accent! Just subbed to you. Hello from the States! Do you own your own storage unit building?
Hi John! Thank you and welcome to my channel! I just rent the units but I'm lucky to be in a quiet corridor and I make use of all the corridor and space! It's like a little warehouse for me :)

I would love to see your eBay store Mel. Always looking for sewing books. Can you give me the link?
Id like it too

Welcome and thank you for watching!
Why did you decide to stop selling clothes? I love your set up here with the lockers!
Truly enjoy your vids. Have you considered organizing like Amazon? We did this and it works well.
Hi Robert, Thank you so much, I'm so glad you are enjoying them. Can you tell me the Amazon method please. In Australia we are not allowed to sell second hand books on Amazon so I'm not exactly sure what their method is. Thank you!!
Hi Mel, it's a great job that your doing but have you thought about consolidating everything now into a small Office/Warehouse that has Power, Natural Light, Ventilation, Windows and maybe even Air Conditioning? Also have you thought about selling on Amazon??
Amazon in Australia is for new products only at this point.
I have but they are soooo expensive where I live. At least in the units I don;t have to pay for any insurances or electricity either. At this stage this is okay for me but if I expand I will have to weigh up extra costs. Sadly we can't sell second hand books on Amazon in Australia yet - but when we can I will be ready!
Yes, such a shame. I will be ready though if they start to allow second hand books.
Wow. Your a machine. Great job.
Thank you for watching! I feel so much better it's all done now!
love it! how do you ship the big bundles?
In large padded mailers. Occasionally a really large bundle goes in a box.
Your energy is amazing!!
Would it help you to have a rolling cart? You could move a lot more at a time.
I probably should have got the trolley for moving some of the books but the camera was set up in the way for a lot of it. It is good exercise for me though which I need! LOL
Thank you for watching!
Just a comment as I go through your videos.

I'm going to change the SKU system soon, it's going to be a big job!
Maybe make a list work for 25mins uninterrupted and 5 min breaks in between. Remember to take the 5 min break😚
Yes, taking breaks is important. I always make sure I go home for lunch to have a mini rest :)
There must not be much traffic in those hallways since you use them as a work area?
No, a few of them are empty and the others are held for long term storage users. The complex has just built a large building of new storage units and I think everybody is choosing to rent those ones first! I'm very lucky to be able to utilise all the extra space.

jejejje I see a calendar of your bf hanging, great inspiration :)
Yes! Thank you! My sexy fireman sent to me by Bron! I love it and now need to change it to see my new February man!
DON'T I KNOW IT!!!

I am to see eBay seller from Australia.
Yes I am in Australia, welcome to my channel
Why don't you stop buying until you get caught up?
I haven't bought all week :) I often pick up large hauls for free or very cheap so if they come up as an opportunity I always take them.
@@backfromburnout Yes, I suppose you have to...it's like an addiction, books= $ signs. Just don't burn out or it won't be fun anymore.

Hit the like button 👍👍👍
Thanks Jeff! x
You're going to feel great once you're completely done getting rid of the clothes!
3 sheds? I think u need a book.shop lol
have you any books on jfk
I don't think I do at the moment but I can take a look :) Political books do sell well for me so I do pick them up.
i thought i had a lot of books
Ha ha, yes I have a lot of books! Did you see this video? th-cam.com/video/UfVcsnYBQCk/w-d-xo.html
Blimey you must be sore and tired after all that .
It's a good workout :) Thanks Tom for watching!
Somehow I think we are related. Must have been separated at birth.
Ha ha, I love this! Thanks for watching Gail!
