I always find it so interesting looking at the comps for books. I always manage to find this one particular book at different op shops for normally around $1-2 and I consistently sell it for about $50... You just never know :)
I totally agree! And there are just millions of books to learn about and often its the books that you least expect it that are worth the money! I also have staple books I continue to pick up that sell over and over for good money :)
Books are an awesome niche to get into in the market. I always check for books and videos when I am out looking for things to flip.
There is always some surprises in books! Some of the books I least expect to be worth money are worth the most!
Another interesting video Mel, free stuff makes the profit even sweeter. I remember collecting those Falklands War magazines back in the eighties when they originally came out!
Oh wow! That’s cool. It was a interesting looking collectable set and I knew as soon as I saw it that I would be worth something. Free stuff is awesome.
Some of those military books can be highly collectable, it was well worth grabbing those especially when you picked them up for no cost. I'm amazed how many free hauls there are for books, they are plentiful. It's a numbers game and sooner or later you're are going to get some very significant profits with these hauls. Good luck with the book stores, I can see you having 50 thousand books in stock and selling like hot cakes soon. Interesting following your journey, thanks.
Thanks Ian! It’s a great way for me to learn new genres when I get books for free because otherwise I’d have likely just skipped past books like this if I was cherry picking. Because I’m building a volume book store it makes sense to try and sell all the different types and have a large range. Storage will become an issue but I’m aware of that and working towards a new storage goal :)
Chucking out the two best reads there, lol
Awesome video Mel. As a newbie looking to getting into the Ebay reseller business I'm learning a lot from your videos. I thought bundling the books together was a great idea to increase sell through rates as well.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for following. Yes, bundling the books is a great way to move multiple books at once from the shelves :)
Loving these videos Mel! I just started selling a few books and I'm enjoying learning from you.
Yay, thank you! Thanks so much for watching and the feedback
OMG, my dad used to read all of these authors. Couldn't think of anything worse to read, lol. Each to their own, though. Good haul.
They don’t appeal to me and look horrible but I’ll give them a try as it’s the only way to learn! Thanks for watching again Tom :)
Free books are my bread and butter!!! Great score!! Even if you are even on return on free books Its great to build Ebay ratings!!
Yes, and when I’m selling volume books it makes sense to try and sell new types of books I’ve got for free that I’ve never tried to sell before as it helps me learn. :)
Free is the magic number - love it Mel :)
Yes! Love the freebies! I can never say no!
Just goes to show with some effort these items of free stock are really out there. Like this format of the breakdown Mel .... Will there be more? Thanks for sharing 👍
There really is. And for me as a volume seller who is only now selling books it makes sense for me to try and make money from all the old free books! Thank you for watching, lots more videos to come to help people :)
At the risk of repeating myself (having made a similar comment on another of your videos), as a UK seller I'm frankly amazed at the prices you manage to achieve achieve in Australia. To be honest, few of those books would raise enough here to cover shipping, even if lotted. Fiction paperbacks are almost worthless even in as new condition--which these clearly aren't! I love books and it breaks my heart to have to turn away from them when wearing my reseller hat. Nowadays I rarely have more than a handful of books in stock on eBay because, aside from university textbooks and vintage items, even good condition hardbacks will struggle to sell at a price adequate to cover shipping and fees.
Some of the book prices astonish me also! Maybe as we don't have Amazon in Australia that lets us sells second hand books. I'm so grateful I can save so many from landfill. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@backfromburnout don't have amazon in Australia?
Military books aren't so much about author as they are about battle, military figures such as Patton, etc. Pearl Harbor is very important to Americans and we love to read about it. Civil war, Vietnam, both world wars and the desert wars. Looks like you have some good ones.
How interesting, thanks for letting me know! Certainly old and poor condition but hopefully I can save them from landfill and find them a new home :)
@@backfromburnout There are people out there that will give many of them a home and love them. Have a great rest of the week.
You are the best!!! 🥳
Naaaw, thank you x
New subscriber. Looking forward to watching all your videos.🥰
Welcome!! Thank you for subbing!
Hello from Perth ❤
Hello! Fellow Aussie! Welcome!
@@backfromburnout I started selling books on fb marketplace few years ago , it had somewhat faded away but I’m trying to bring books back to life here in west .
Love your videos , you are funny but great at what you do
I wish you lived near me! I have a ton of free books I could give you! The libraries are not having book sales during this pandemic lockdown. But I’m in the United States! I love books! And I love your channel! I had a friend who was a eBay bookseller. She did very well! 🥰❤️
Oh wow! What a shame. Thank you so much for following, I really am loving the books!
Hello Mel do you use Terapeak research when you are checking the prices?
No I just use the eBay sight to check solds and what’s currently selling
What does your VA do? Can you make a video on how it works in Australia?
Hey, she just lists for me. So it's just one less step I have to do at the end of the day ;)
What about military groups in fb? Some are pretty passionate about their stuff😁
What a great idea! I should look into that. I picked up some more military books today!
In the US, the Ebay app lets us scan the barcode to get sold comps - do you have that scanning ability in Aus?
We can scan on the eBay app however it's not very accurate as in Australia most sellers don't enter the barcodes into listings, so if we scan only a small percentage of the sold comps actually show up by scanning.
Hi great blog I’m a new subscriber and love your input.
I recently become interested in selling books on eBay and was wondering what virtual assistant you use as I’ve never been an eBay seller and any help would be appreciated.
I put an ad on a VA website and hired a VA to suit my needs from one who applied to my job application. :)
How much do you know what to charge for your books.
Would you buy and sell books that have a writing message within the front cover, like a birthday gift message or something similar?
Some of them, yes most certainly :)
You just have to show photos of it, make sure you specify it in the description and note the book has been modified.
Hi Mel, Do you send all your books with tracking? You did well considering the cost was 0 😀👍
Yes I do. I use MyPost and padded mailers 99% of the time

Hey Mel! Quick question if you can - i subscribe to a basic store and get 600 free listings a month, when things don't sell and automatically relist do they take away from my 600? Thank you! Love your channel, I was watching - dont remember the channel name but it was a guy named Chris from America and I saw you on there and was like hey its Mel! Lol
Yes Chris from Daily Refinement. He is awesome.
So if you get 600 a month free it will continue on. You don’t get 600 new listings a month if you still have 600 in you store. And it also contains your sales. So if you sold 200 things in the month and have 400 in your store. That’s your 600.
This video may help. It was made before managed payments but it’s still the same almost.

Hi Mel I’m thinking about getting a VA starting with 1 day a week and I’m just trying to do the numbers to see if it’s worth it for me. May I ask how much you pay your VA?
It’s different for every job you give them. I give mine jobs she isn’t paid per individual listing or hour. I have worked out job prices with her in negotiations. You just need to find one that works with your budget on how long you think your task required will take. It’s very individual
Yes 👍 never judge a book 📖 by its cover. 😁🍔
100% Pat! Thank you for watching!
@@backfromburnout I got 1000 books or so like 2 years ago for free...just had to haul.
If it’s free it’s for me!!
Free for the win! Thanks for watching Craig
Why do you dump the books that not that good use them for packing i do saves money
I don’t actually dump them as such, I recycle them if they can’t be re-donated to charity. As I use bubble mailers for all my books I don’t have any use for them as packaging supplies or fillers but I do recycle all of them if I need to discard them. :)
Btw love your videos injoy watching them thankyou
verry nice
Thanks
Hit the like button 👍👍👍
Thanks Jeff x
The eBay app is definitely not designed Or user friendly for sellers
It's okay, but I prefer to use the desktop. When I list higher priced books I always check again on the desktop as thats where I list them. The VA gets my lower end books so it's not so much an issue for the books she is listing.
