Loved the video! I’m excited to see Mel make more content. In terms of daily listing, I find that I get activity on my page shortly after listing. I go days without listing and my page is crickets also. I’m a big believer that daily listing makes a difference.
Amazon is next day delivery here in Australia ❤ I’m a reseller from Melbourne (casually since I was 14). People value books here absolutely! My shipping is approx $10 too and can easily go up to $18 with books! And Melbourne, Victoria are definitely obsessed with a lot of different things but footy, other spots and music and performance unites us 🥰 GO THE PIES!
It's the paperback version of Rage by Bachman (king). It's a book that is about a class shooting and it was banned. There is also a collection of 4 Bachman books that will sell well if you have a first printing. finally, something I can add some input on.
I miss the old middle school book fairs. They had the coolest 💩 there. I got a Mark Mcguire poter there and it still exists at my mammaws house somewhere. Also had a Plymouth Prowler poster that was 🔥 too.
Great I’m seeing Mel! Been watching for awhile. So would love to go see you. Way over expensive for me. At 64 and Like a great adventure. I’ve never been in that. Bucket list !! Poor. Someday. Hope!
It sure seems like books sell great everywhere else but within the US. I've sold some great books but at the rate that I find ones to actually resell It's not worth it to actively be looking for them.
Fantastic question! Mel should have her own book fair and sell death piles along with renting out spots for other sellers! Her youtube from showing that would be $$#
Great to see you guys with Mel @backfromburnout ! My brother’s band Fun Lovin Criminals is playing in Australia this week! I’m tackling my death pile of books this year… about 25,000 of them without ISBN! 📚🇦🇺🦘
I sold an occult book for over 300 last year. I'm more like Cary, big money buys scare me but I'm getting better. I flat rate promote but remove listings when they will sell without.
Y'all, such a relevant podcast!! I just helped a relative clear out a small library in her home. I've run comps on many of the books. I need advice on how to set up my eBay shop for shipping them. @americanarbitrage, what is this $3 shipping option for 1lb books that you spoke of? Is it just using a poly bag? So many questions. Thanks!
Freak it! I am 82, and despise the word "Elderly." Can you use "Elder Folk" instead? Please??? Which would you like used to describe you in 20+ years? Dave, ask your mother, please. "Elderly" is a term loaded with judgement. Elder Folk just recognizes age. I adore Mel!!! She is very bright and wise enough to take advice from others that will affect her business in a positive way! Few people can remove their egos from their decisions the way she has in changing her business plan. Mel, you were not defensive, you soaked up the knowledge, did the punishment for sourcing cheap books, and you've emerged with a really top notch bookstore that is making more money than ever. I really, totally, admire you and your incredible spirit!
@@bethmcmullan7686 actually it was over 25!. Gave birth to my first child at 25 and was told that I was OLD to have my first child. 18 was the average age she said!
I would be wary of switching over to primarily or only whatnot if you care about your channel. I track a lot of stats in this space and views seem to go down hard and stay down for everyone who does this.
I think the most important part of a channel’s success is authenticity…if your business is going more to whatnot, then share the journey. There is a ton of opportunity in the Whatnot reseller space…some of my biggest vids are about whatnot selling. Being early has value…and you can’t make a channel overly worried about what everyone else is doing.
They moved moose back to Colorado. It will kick your life. Your kin will pay fee. Don't kill wild things in Boulder. Don't run around the college. Yes wild cats will eat you.😊😊
Thank you so much for having me guys! I had a lot of fun and loved hanging out with you all in America :)
Thanks for dealing with our nonsense Mel! We all had a great time hanging out with ya last summer :)
New Kevin's kinda cute tho, boys. Not sure about the accent, not very folksy.
I accidentally became a vintage fabric and lace seller after doing vintage Christmas breakables….obviously way faster shipping process
Thank you for attempting to class up the podcast. This was a really fun and interesting episode.
Is it expensive to ship books to Australia or bring back with you. Also curious if you ever source through ebay while your in america?
Mel has the patience of a Saint
" Number #4 He kills dogs'' I laughed SO ridiculously loud at this😂😂
Had a good laugh! Great vid guys! love the Kevin jokes and the chat with our Aussie Mel 👍
Love Mel! This was a fun episode - I think I may have even learned something. Next week I'm gonna need complete trash and madness.
Loved the video! I’m excited to see Mel make more content.

Was great, awesome and fun to see Mel on the Podcast. She is such a lovely person. Really enjoy when you have guests. Great job Dave and Carey!

GO THE PIES!
Love seeing Mel ! & Dave & Cary!
So i assume Kevin, with all his cash, was at the Superbowl in the suite next to Taylor Swift.
Kevin doesn't show up (probably getting a shot after visiting the villages) and there is TONS of reseller content. Holy cow. Great episode!
Amazon US started out by selling books! Go Mel! Maybe you can be the NEW improved Amazon for Australia!
Dave, Have you STILL not "Properly photographed that bear yet????" sigh.....LOLOL
Omg! You two were so ON this podcast... I couldn't stop laughing 🤣😅
I sold the Dr. Sues kids illustrated books for $500 when they were forst banned. Bought them for 1$. Loved it😊
Love seeing Mel here!

Nice to see Mel on. Here for the laughs as always!
Mel was great. Learned a lot from her. I love books and just always looking for unusual ones to sell.
Great I’m seeing Mel! Been watching for awhile. So would love to go see you. Way over expensive for me. At 64 and Like a great adventure. I’ve never been in that. Bucket list !! Poor. Someday. Hope!
I saw that Tranq video today too. Should have asked Mel about Krokodil, cuz I'm sure there're plenty Down Under.
Great show learned more on this then all the other trash to cash. Cary you sounded so much smarter with Mel then with Kevin.
Yay Mel. Love Mel and all of her videos.
Your favourite (real) Octopus loves you all…🐙
I have found that old bibles and religious books sell pretty fast.
A friend introduced me to Pango Books, is that an option for you in Australia?
Cary…those looked surprisingly like “bricks of coke” on the top shelf behind you this week…what sale did you find those at? lol 😂
The most dangerous animal in the outback is the dropbear.
@Cary, I will certainly be keeping my coins away from you, sir! 😆
Oh wow mellllllll.....did she realize what she was getting herself into being on the show...haha
People buy things for 5x the cost on Amazon and then complain that $75,000 isn't enough to live on.
Australia, the land where selling books is still profitable. I don't think 1 book in 1000 in America can sell at a $10 profit.
It sure seems like books sell great everywhere else but within the US. I've sold some great books but at the rate that I find ones to actually resell It's not worth it to actively be looking for them.
This was Awesome
Mel I love your shirt!😊
Misssssss Kevin !!!!!❤
I picked up the original Stephen King "Rage" book at a yard sale for 5/$1. Had to keep it though! Those old Richard Bachmans are bolos for sure.
Fantastic question! Mel should have her own book fair and sell death piles along with renting out spots for other sellers! Her youtube from showing that would be $$#
Mel is starting to make serious money selling books.
That’s what started Jeffery Dahmer’s obsession with corpses Road Kill
Love Kevin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was fun🎉
Can you have Mel as a regular?!?!
Yes 53 is NOT ELDERLY OMG
Mel, What a delight!!!
Selling books give you the muscles!🤣
I knew Kevin dyed his hair.

I love "Scooby Snacks"! I saw them play the Big Day Out in Melbourne 1999 ❤️
❤

Mel we love Mel!!
So Dave wanted to talk 💩 to girl but lacked the 🥜 so acted like someone asked it in a question lmao 🤣. Real smooth

My mom turns 82 in a few months :) elder folk is great or just cool person :)
78. We elder folk have more knowledge and life experience

Hey Oh!!!
Geeze guys, Mel is in a rural area hence the kangaroos. Otherwise you won’t see any kangaroos unless you go to a zoo etc
To be fair plenty of roos in outer suburbs too
$hit, was trying for first comment! Damn you Youtuuuuube!
15 minutes in a NFL quarter 😂
My honey has train books that are wow expensive.
David! You made me sound mean!!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅

@ adhdave ask Mel about the virus she cleared out of her space, you need to listen for once! Hi 👋 Mel my favorite Australian picker & flipper.
Steven King..... wasn't he that weird dude, With the hair that stands straight up? He wrote a book about being Mike Tyson promotor?
11 pen names ... As opposed to Kevin's pet swingers names
One word Kangaroo😅😅😅😅
Next female guest needs to be rural squirrel she will school you
This episode was Beauty and the Beasts.
Someone tell Dave, lest he thinks otherwise, that he’s not the beauty.
Hi😊
They rebranded the xfl
They moved moose back to Colorado. It will kick your life. Your kin will pay fee. Don't kill wild things in Boulder. Don't run around the college. Yes wild cats will eat you.😊😊
Dave your kids shouldn't be listening to Cardi B or Ice Spice listen to the trash... lol
Vibes were off today
Am I first😊
53 IS NOT ELDERLY!! UNSUBSCRIBES
Let the lady talk for once guys. So rude
uh you must be new here
