Haha my gosh...I always check first thing in the morning to see if you've put out another video and when you do..it never disappoints. I love them. I love the knowledge you share, I love how inspiring you are to this reselling community and I love the fun that you have. Thanks Mel for another great video again!
Mel, there's a young kid that sell just golf balls. They live next to a golf course but he also Wade's into ponds and creeks to fetch them. Forget his channels name. He's only young and his dad helps him..
Hi Mel, am I the only one that noticed you were wearing a brewery shirt while talking about the brewing magazines? I guess homebrewers notice these things! 😁
Crazy hectic days like that are sometimes fun for me just because they don't happen all the time for me and it makes me appreciate the days when everything goes right.
Yes that is so true! And they also make you take note of where the bottlenecks are in your own business to improve on. Last week was the hardest I've had this year and I think it was due to finding that new routine again with school going back. I'm going to have to really tighten up my schedule again to get everything I need to do in a day done.
OMGosh, isn’t that the truth! I’m SO disorganised. Don’t know how you manage to get in your shed before school even starts, Mel. Kudos to you. I’ve just started my book hustle and it’s no easy feat. My op shops wanted $3 per novel yesterday. I need to find more suppliers and learn to speed list. 🤣 I don’t know how you manage to list all the books so fast to make a decent living. Thanks for another great vid. I always pick up a little gem every time I watch you. 🥰
Yeah this week was hard and my routine felt a little out of whack. I’m going to have to sit down and have a good look at my schedule for this week and juggle a few things. Mornings are hard for me as I’m not naturally a morning person. It’s hard when they want $3 a novel. If they’re charging that much look more at the non fiction and see what you can get.
That Wisdom - Andrew Zuckerman book, a used copy just sold over here for £100 through World of Books, nice find! Those western books should go good too !! Looking forward to seeing your fresh balls in the next video! Thanks Mel.
Thanks for letting me know Ian! I wasn’t 100% sure what to price it at! I’m pretty sure though I’ll make a nice profit on it. It’s a nice coffee table book!
Hi Mel. Great video as usual. Just be careful when you list the Westerns. You said they were from the 70's but that would be the copyright date or when that story was first printed. Those ones you have there are more modern reprints. You can tell by the cover price. There are also some authors that are worth lotting up together instead of random lots. Marshall Grover is the most popular I've found but just have a look into it a bit more. You'll still make a bit of money on them as you have already surmised.
I’ll make sure I double check when I photograph them before listing! I only had a quick glance before filming so I could have read that wrong! Thanks for the tip l be sure to confirm! They should be photographed tomorrow I think and ready for listing!
Yes, scool is back. You have definitely uped your game and it will be demanding. This is a kick in the pants for me. I do waste time and my business can improve. Thanks Mel.
@@backfromburnout I don't have a lot of products so it's easy to become lazy. I am adding associated items soon and I need to improve the seo somehow. Do you use the extra promotion line? Costs about $2.70 just under the listing title?
sticky price labels on those small paper books, need to sort that before the glues set harder. Hairdryer? ... magazines, nah -- i have to throw so many
Another hustle hustle hustle day in the life of Mel. First day back at school is always frantic. Picking and packing is another thing that you will have to have a BANK of. Listing in the morning and packing in advance for the post office run after school run. Another great video. Cant wait to see the bleached bag of balls get sold hee hee. BTW Did you find them all?
Thanks Joan! I found about 10 more that had bounced into some of the open tubs LOL. I'm sure in a few weeks I'll probably moves something and find a few more LOL
You are too funny! I'm bummed, I get every other Friday off and it's my day to hit the estate sales, etc. for more books, except tomorrow we are getting an ice storm. Had snow on the last one too. Inventory is getting low. Cannot wait for spring.
Yes I did make a bible video quite a long time ago. Bibles sell for great money - especially if you find a leather one and the really old ones sell well. Do a search on sold bibles and you will be very surprised. I have sold bibles for over $200 and I always look for them. Children's illustrated bibles also sell well. The bible is the biggest selling book in the world so it makes sense it's a hot seller! This is the old video th-cam.com/video/H79Fkj-n1H8/w-d-xo.html
Possibly although the mailers are pretty light weight. I might be able to choose a couple of the thicker magazines to remove which might lower it just slightly
Hi Mel 🖐 does that lady from Vinnies watch your channel?🤣 Thanks for sharing the postage info, it’s really interesting as it’s been ages since I’ve posted parcels regularly and it’s changed a lot since then. Have a great day, love your motivation and laughs xx Cathi xx
@@backfromburnout hope they offer you some good bargains Mel. Here in Vic I found some staff to not be as nice to you if they think you’re reselling, or they price popular resale items like books high because they assume you’ll pay more. Do you find that? Xx Cathi xx
Do you have a loyalty or discount card for Maccas ?? 🤣 Busy but reaping the rewards of your efforts. I've sold magazines in the past and have done well with them. God luck with them.... And your balls 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing 😁👍
I deserve a loyalty card I buy a coffee from somewhere every single morning LOL But no they have never given me a loyalty card I should ask since this is the year to save money lol
I wish my kids didn’t have to go to school so early! Ours have the be at school before 8. 8:05 and they are tardy and have to get a slip. 🤦🏻♀️ I’d get so much more done if I weren’t so tired 😂
When we moved house we moved out of area and we don’t have direct buses here now. My daughter would need 3 busses to get to a school 10mins away. Crazy. But I miss them catching the bus as it definitely is time consuming to do all the drop offs and pick ups with kids at different schools.
Yes if they sell for what I list them for that’s potentially the amount I could make in sales. But yes, they have to sell to make that actual profit so fingers crossed 🤞
Can you turn off promoted listings to do a markdown sale, I don't want to do both way too big of a cut, but I am not sure if promoted turns off right away, I think if you turn it off it's still going for a month, do you know? thanks
I’m pretty sure you can stop it any time. But if you want to do a 20% off and you have promoted set to say 5% you could still do a sale but maybe make it 15% off and then it still equals the same discount value.
I’m on Instagram daily - backfromburnout I do have a Facebook page but I’m not on it ever. I am active though in many Facebook groups so you may see me around on Facebook :)
Haha my gosh...I always check first thing in the morning to see if you've put out another video and when you do..it never disappoints. I love them.

Gaye, thank you what a beautiful comment! That’s made my day x
You have a bulletproof attitude. I love it. Thanks for the motivation.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
🙂You Always put a *Smile* on my face .. thank you 🙂
I'm so glad, thank you for watching!
I need to stop watching these last thing at night as you make me want to get back up and hustle!!
Ha ha ha, I love that! Go get it!
Mel, there's a young kid that sell just golf balls. They live next to a golf course but he also Wade's into ponds and creeks to fetch them. Forget his channels name. He's only young and his dad helps him..
That’s so cute! What a great side hustle for a kid living next to a golf course!
love your vids. Your funny, informative, honest, and funny to watch. Learned a lot from you as a new reseller
Thank you I really appreciate that comment x
Hi Mel, am I the only one that noticed you were wearing a brewery shirt while talking about the brewing magazines? I guess homebrewers notice these things! 😁
Ha ha, yes I was by chance! BigHead Beer - my fave! I went to their brewery a little over a year ago and got the tee - I do like my beer lol
Def my favourite reseller videos! And I agree that your energy is contagious. Congrats on 50,000 views! $700 is a lot of books to resell!!!
Ha ha, thanks Maddy :) I appreciate the support both here and Instagram x
Good tip about the golf balls. I too have a bucket 'o balls that need cleaning so it best get that amonia wafting lol
Do it!!!

I wish I could be 1/2 as busy with orders as you. Great vid!
You can do it! Keep working towards it and it will come!

Hi Mel! Thank you for the extra bit of motivation! Your energy is contagious.
I love that! Thank you so much!
Those western novelettes seemed to have barcodes on the back page so I think they would be newer versions or reprints :) love your channel.
Yes, I think I read the date wrong when I quickly scanned them but I'll make sure I get them right when listing

Hustle Hustle, Love it keep it up Mel
I’m Hustling!
You’re hilarious. Every time you say balls , you giggled. Funny as !!
LOL - I almost need a little short video with all the ball clips from the last three videos LOL
I hate when I have to be somewhere at a specific time, like getting kids to school or an appointment. It throws me off for hours. Drives me nuts.
It’s made this week hard. This week was the hardest all year for me.
I bought over 100 westerns yesterday for $20. Lots of reading material for me....and then I'll lot them up on ebay! 🙂
I love reading the westerns and cowboys books also. ❤️
Quickly becoming my favourite channel!! I’m based in the UK. Keep it going Mel
Oh thank you!! I love my UK community and can't wait to travel over one day for a meet up with all the UK resellers xx
Love your videos look forward to them every week
Thank you so much! That’s a really nice comment x
sticky price labels on those small paper books, need to sort that before the glues set harder. Hairdryer? ... magazines, nah -- i have to throw so many
Yes I might try the hair dryer as everyone always recommends that!

Ha ha!
Awe Mel, you alway make me smile and giggle! Good luck with those Balls 😉🥰👩🌾
Ha ha stay tuned! I filmed the update on the balls yesterday for Sundays video x

@@backfromburnout thanks! I'll check out the video now.
You might have to take out 3 of them magz, surely with the packaging youll go over the 5k right?
Possibly although the mailers are pretty light weight. I might be able to choose a couple of the thicker magazines to remove which might lower it just slightly
I was about to say the same thing. Take out the thicker ones and keep it well under the correct weight.
I reckon seperate the Beer only ones from the Brewing and Beer ones.
loved the End of the video 🤣 🤣 🤣 the crean balls 🤣 🤣
Ha ha stay tuned for the next video to see if it worked

Mel, how do you handle getting all those stickers off the western paperback books? Seems like it would be easy to damage the paper covers.
I haven’t attempted yet but I have a couple ideas - will keep you updated!
@@backfromburnout Awesome! Thank you
You’re my therapy
Thank you, I appreciate you for watching
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Larry!
Looking forward to more ball handing advice, lets see how this bleach goes :)
Ba ha ha ha love it, stay tuned for Sunday's video!
Awesome!!!!👏👏👏👏👏😊👌
Thank you for watching ❤️
Great pick ups for only being in there for 10 minutes 👍💕💜
It’s fast when you only run in and look at the books with a quick glance over the DVD. No looking at the clothes racks makes it fast :)
Do you have a loyalty or discount card for Maccas ?? 🤣 Busy but reaping the rewards of your efforts. I've sold magazines in the past and have done well with them. God luck with them.... And your balls 🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing 😁👍
I deserve a loyalty card I buy a coffee from somewhere every single morning LOL But no they have never given me a loyalty card I should ask since this is the year to save money lol
@@backfromburnout Hi Mel - download the Maccas app - the loyalty card is on there

Mel. Your personality is over the top love it love it. What is your user name on eBay please
Thank you so much for watching - supergratefulmum
So it’s $30 into $300 once it sells
I got a lot of dvd
Listed then like crazy
But they are not selling
Even when they are the lowest price selling
Yes if they sell for what I list them for that’s potentially the amount I could make in sales. But yes, they have to sell to make that actual profit so fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah finger crossed
I made another sale on my free dvd lot last night
But very slow
Yes, I've often thought ebay is a load of balls ❗😂
Ba ha ha

Yes they do ha ha ha, stay tuned for tomorrows video with the update!
Hahaha 😂 bag o balls! I love you so much! Are you on Facebook. Omg clean balls!
I’m on Instagram daily - backfromburnout I do have a Facebook page but I’m not on it ever. I am active though in many Facebook groups so you may see me around on Facebook :)
Well, now I'm thinking about checking out Bibles thanks to yours! If that one was 40 dollars, then I can't say no!
Bibles bring great money! I’ve sold bibles for $200+
Oh no....the balls are back!!! You are right, clean balls are definitely better balls!
Ha ha stay tuned for the follow up on Sunday - I filmed the result yesterday:)
does ebay require ABN?
I can't actually remember if I had to input my ABN number but if you don't have one you should get one.
Nice one Mel 😊👍everyone likes clean balls 😂😂😂👍
That one cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I thought Vinnies didn't charge for Bibles. I guess they've changed. No guilt about selling Bibles now though, if Vinnies can make a profit on them 😄
Some of them here don't charge for them but some do.
6:00 - #winning
Win win!
🔥👍
Thanks for watching!
Picked and packed. Please say this 5 times fasr. :-D
Ha ha ha.
