    What do you do with the leftover wooden pallet that the gaylord of books comes on?

      I either have someone else have it or leave it next to the dumpster and it usually gets taken by someone.

      Amy Yannotta - If you have a couple of leftover wooden pallets you could post them under "Free Stuff" on CL or similar platform and they'd be gone quickly especially when if you mention used for books (b/c it's non-poisonous).

    On average, how many hours does it take you to: (1) scan a Gaylord box of books? and (2) list the "keepers"? TIA

    • @510Books

      If you're only scanning barcodes and ISBNs then probably one hour. You have to have a good eye for what's even worth scanning though. Don't waste time on obsolete books. Listing depends on your process.

    I live in SoCal. Any help finding a Gaylord source?

    • @510Books
      @510Books  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't want to give away my source. I suggest scouring all local apps, FB Marketplace and even calling up some paper recyclers.

    How are you getting the pallets to your house now? Box truck still? Do you have a pallet jack?

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a storage unit for the gaylords. It's currently full but I am going to chip away at it. I do have a pallet jack that I found and bought off of Craigslist. It works really well so far.

    Hey there! thanks for the content. Can you go more into the logistics of how you get stuff to declutter? do you just agree with them on a per gaylord price?

    • @510Books
      @510Books  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't buy anything from Declutter. I used to send them CDs that they would buy off of me, for a very small amount of money. Now I just make eBay lots for my extra CDs that I can't resell individually on Amazon or eBay. I buy Gaylords from completely different sources.

  • @canine7236
    @canine7236 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you play the whole cd to see if it skips. Or do you just focus on sending to decluttr and not worry.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No testing.

    Are you planning on setting up bookshelves in storage unit for the books you will sell on ebay?

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      For now I am using some storage space I have in my house and garage, but we will see how many MF items I accumulate. I only have 15 or so MF items right now so I don't have that many to store. I have more eBay items to store though.

    looking for a gaylord & gaylord structural engineering book the one I want is the one that I bought new in 1984 mine grew legs need replacement, whatever you can do for me would be appreciated.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, I don't know which book you are talking about and I doubt I would come across it. Thanks.

    Once again I will say how nice it is to have you back making videos. I really have been turned off with Amazon FBA. I sold a book FBA for $ 12.19 and Amazon fees totaled $ 9.59! Does this happen to you? I am selling more merchant fulfilled and on Ebay. I am looking forward to your future videos and I will look into Gaylords of books and CD's and DVD's. Thanks!

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! I am enjoying being back to making at least some videos. The new higher fees are definitely harder to deal with but there is still plenty of money in selling books FBA. I am honestly more focused on selling my items faster with enough profit built in. My sell through rate is around 20% now, which is much higher than it used to be.
      I try and not send in books that are really heavy unless they are selling for $20+. Most of the books I send in are smaller so that the fees aren't as high for those.
      I have 22 items listed MF right now but I am definitely going to be adding more. I have made a handful of MF sales this year but I am looking to list and sell more MF.

    Glad you are diversifying on EBAY....good plan.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I am learning the ropes. So far I have sold just under 60% of everything I have listed. Is that good?

    Looks like San Fernando Rd.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, I'm quite a ways from that street but I am in SoCal.

      Hey, man. I am really glad you are doing gaylords. I am thinking about that too. Seems better than going thrift store to thrift store. Less competition, and less time consuming.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you can find a gaylord source for books then you just have to decide where you are going to keep the giant boxes. Then you have to decide how you are going to deal with the books you can't sell on Amazon. Bulk buying is a great option if you want the books delivered to you but it is a lot of work.

    damn bro. hope you're not using my source.. sounds similar.

    • @510Books
      @510Books  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      RapNerdtv That song is from the TH-cam creative section for YT creators. All of the songs are free to use in videos. If it sounds like one of your songs then it might be a coincidence or YT is using one of your songs.

      Wasn't talking about music. was talking about the gaylord source buddy

    • @510Books

      Oh, well maybe we do have the same source. If we do it seems like there is plenty to go around.

    • @musashi-san____1409

      I hope you are using his source.

      After I saw this video, I searched the area and found the source you both use. I am now using this source as well and pretty soon there won't be anything left for you two. As I am arranging for container buys.
