Technically this is WHY you cleared your warehouse. If it wasn’t sorted out you wouldn’t have been able to take these books probably. An empty space is always there to be filled hahaha😂
I still think one or two rolling shelves would be handy for when you get big hauls. It would give more vertical storage when processing and then you can shove them out of the way when not in use.
Right on! A procedure for new hauls that doesn't include multiple handling of the same items. Every time you do something, ask yourself if there's a better way.
When I was a chef, sometimes the order tickets came in non-stop on Friday and Saturday nights. You could hear the printer just printing and printing, and you were afraid to even look to see how many new tickets were hanging from the machine. It's common for cooks to have nightmares about the printer. The only thing you could do was focus and keep working, there was no other way out. It was the best and hardest lesson.
Free items do have a cost to you. 1. To process and list what is your hourly rate 2. Storage 3. On going management of the listing. Free is Not Free. You have spent min 1 day that could be used to source high margin products. So your opportunity cost of processing low end items is whatever at min your day rate is plus over heads for day. So you will need to make back that amount to be break even.
You did it, Mel! You now have the processes in place to accommodate a large haul. I’m sure Tech will be very proud of you! Thank you for continuing to inspire me. 😘
Beautiful job Mel! I want to say this, you are a great example for your children. I was a single parent to one and most night after my son went to bed, I was finnishing my paper work, I was an insurance agent. My son remembers the hard work that I put in. He is now 54.
Mel your outlook on reselling has changed so much. Currently I’m in a rehab facility with the 17th of January making it a full year of rehab and almost a 18 months since I had my wreck. You have become one of the probably one of the top 5 TH-camr’s that I really look forward to looking for and or waiting for a new video every day. Wish you could put out a video every day. I don’t know how much of it is the beautiful Dow nto earth is that’ll beautiful voice I love hearing or a combination of just a beautiful woman and voice. The amazing work you’ve accomplished since I started watching you (and I honestly don’t remember or know how I stumbled across your channel) has been an inspiration to me to get started selling again. The rehab facility admin has given Me permission to start my store back in my room. I don’t know how well it’s going to work. I’m going to start out with just my phone and Bluetooth printer I just purchased and trying to figure out the scales I want that doesn’t have any cables to it and just uses batteries. In fact I want have any lightning in the room except room light and a little sunlight. I always liked postcards and have a box of them about 35 years old in my possession but were old, old when I bought them and it’s a 1000 cards in it and I’ve purchased another couple of thousand books start I’m getting ready to start listing. I’m also going to list my die cast cars I had plus some I’ve been buying along with coins, paper money, and a little gold and silver bullion. You’re hard work getting organized has really inspired me to want to get started selling again and just have it smalls while I’m in here. That way I want have to stock but a few sizes of small boxes and they allegedly won’t look for cash bills shipped in an envelope. Any rate I’ve rambled to much (it’s 3:30 a.m.) for this time of the night and it’s probably day time there. Keep up the good work, great spirit you have, to influence us. Sending love and hopefully good vIbes your way for the influence to work harder. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This level of hard work and dedication deserves a sub from me! I'm a vintage clothing and hard goods seller so not in your niche( I do love selling vintage books though) and I can totally appreciate the level of labor you put into your business cos it's similar with clothing! You really inspired me to not let those death piles pile up! Great job!! Your work space/warehouse looks amazing!
"PROCECCING quickly, efficiently and straight away" A great quote. I am still loving this new idea. Quicly process inventory. "Reset to zero" I love the clean slate. Your are inspiring me and my wife to change how we so a number of things.
Wow… when I first saw your haul I was like what the heck are you doing? But you showed us all how you can process things quickly - that was really impressive!
CULLING? Did you just say you're going to cull books? SACRILEGE!! XD OMG, I never even thought about selling books online for a living. I LOOOOOOOVE used books, this is right up my alley!
Some books can’t be sold due to damage but some can’t be resold as they don’t make enough money after fees and shipping so those books have to be redonated or sold in bulk lots on Facebook.
I like that you call it "reset to zero." And I could definitely see, when you get a haul (of any size) in, how exciting it can be to challenge oneself to get back to zero again, especially if someone is pretty competitive in general. Personally, I like gamifying tasks - in other words I make it a game and compete with myself to win the game. In this case, the goal of the game is to both start and end with everything reset to zero. This "reset to zero" method could work in so many situations, not just reselling! Cleaning house is one example. Purging clothes one doesn't wear anymore from the closet is another. Paying off bills... and so on. Thanks for sharing your process. It was inspiring to watch! Oh, and the heck with all those resellers who think that a death pile is necessary to succeed. That is so twisted.
There's a reason these books came to you. You may think some of then are not in your niche but they've come for a reason. You may find an additional abundant source financially. A buyer of such books may be someone who will be influencial in your life somehow. The Universe surprises us with many blessings. Congratulations on your haul. 👏🏼📚💰
Mel you need to stop looking down when looking on ya phone. Put your phone up to eye level. Not good for your neck. So glad your well and happy good luck in 2024
I don’t link it publicly as it drives a lot of traffic to the store but not sales only views and eBay and the algorithm then thinks people don’t like what I have. So it’s not a secret, the store is branded with my name when you find it but I don’t publicly link it to help my traffic metrics. I also never want viewers to feel I’m asking for viewer sales as that’s not what this channel is about. Thank you From a supergratefulmum 🤪
Your singing had me giggling! Way to go rockstar!!! You did the punishment and it was way less overwhelming than having to deal with months worth of hauls set aside. You’re killing it 🙌🏼
Hey Mel! Great work. I'm here watching and feeling anxious with you! The end result though is amazing. 😮 The way it looked from when Ross and I visited you at your warehouse in October, to how it looks now is just incredible. Congratulations girl, you have every reason to be so proud of yourself! ❤❤
The universe did not send you these books, she sent you a test…. Are you listening to your Coach…? is he wasting his time with you ? You are buying books for your pleasure, not to make money in a Book Selling Business…. Your video of the guy that has a house full of Rare books, told you what to do…his advise is going to make me rich, because I am listening to his advice. Stop, go watch that video, have pen and paper handy…..
After watching your last video, I was wondering how you would handle the next big haul with stuff that isn’t cherry-picked! 🍒 It’s a lot harder doing all the sorting and bundling, but you stuck with it and even managed to off-load some onto Tom! 😂 Terrific job, Mel. Glad your space is still looking immaculate.
I enjoyed watching you process this big haul. Great job the way you proceeded with the different categories, photos, listings and storing and getting rid of what you don’t want in the warehouse. Thanks for sharing.
This was so satisfying to watch. I have to admit that I did have my head in my hands especially when you said to Thom that you were not going to sort through them that day. I should never have doubted you.
Yes. Front, back, all the sides, the copyright page, the front page to show there is no handwriting of name written inside (or to show if there is!) and if it’s an illustrated book or has images (like a cookbook) I show some pictures inside. Some listings have 8 photos and some I use all 24 photos.
Melbourne and many regional towns have also lost most of our Trash n Treasure markets. The post pandemic markets were a fraction of the size they used to be with many dealers finding out how to sell stuff on FB marketplace and other sites
@@backfromburnout I know someone who moved from Frankston in Melbourne to Canberra just so he could sell at that market. All it would take is for a bunch of resellers to get together and sell their slow stock cheap. Eventually other casual sellers would go and it would morph back into what it was before.
I love your taste in music girl!! You are such an inspiration, I have thousands I am going through and this is just what I neede to see today! So thankful for your content!
You are not using your body in a healthy way - - bending over to photograph, lifting bags with your back instead of your legs. With the tons of books you have to lift and carry, every single arm reach and foot step you make should be with spinal longevity in mind. Believe me, one day you will twist and pick up just another ordinary book, but that will be the book that your back says nope, can’t do this any more. I’m worried about you!
Hey Mel! I'm still watching every video but I rarely comment anymore...until today. I luv, luv, luv that you left your singing in, it was so cute. You are doing so well after what must have been a tough year (and I know you're not done with it all yet, but you're making progress). I was one of those people who wondered about your relationship with Tom, but I didn't think it was any of my business. The video where you guys went on a road trip, and left a B&B together, gave me a pretty good guess at what was happening (since you didn't clarify if it was 1 room or 2 - LOL). So when you announced the relationship, I got a good laugh, and I was happy for you both. Good for you! You two seem to have a lot of fun together. Wishing you all the best!
Genuine question, I hope you don’t mind me asking, do you take vitamins? Reason I ask is, I feel like you have amazing energy levels!!!! I wish I was able to work with this much energy to go go go!! I want to know how I can be this productive & efficient xx
I am from scotland uk and there was a place like where this girl works there were 30k free books it was to expesive to get them drerivered so they put an add on fb for any readers and grab as many books as our cars could hold, sadely I could not get for specific reasons and I wish I could have I have almost 300-400 books on my tbr shelfs one day if I become a better reader when my parents die im turning there biger room into a home library and I like to read the books I but ao, I might sell books like this lady in this video mainly read then sell them why waste books when I havwn`t read them, so the now the better and faster I can read by then hopefull I can make my home from home job.
Whoop, Whoop!!!🎉🎉🎉 Nicely done Mel! Can't imagine the initial overwhelming feeling coming over you, it came over me just watching and how satisfying to see it set back to zero!!! Great video!❤
Great job tackling the haul. I have been bundling authors when I get a bulk haul like that. I use fantastic fiction to date and list them. I reckon it’s worth doing, I sold a bundle of terry Pratchett books [32] for $350 just last week. Sold two bundles for 100 & 120 each today already. Just an idea.
I've recently started watching your channel Mel, and have loved seeing the joy you have as you work. Books are a lot of physical labor and you do it all beautifully. I'm a retired estate liquidator, and was formally a professional organizer for a long time. You have a standing ovation from me for this video. Way to go, thoroughly enjoyed watching you process!
Great video 📹 👍! Wow, free books, and quick turnaround processing! I need to get going, can't keep up with you! 😅😅😅 Have a great week 👍 😀! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada!
Great job tackling that haul Mel. I found that certain crime/mystery thriller series do pretty good for me. But it's definitely a process figuring out which ones. I've been trying my hand at science fiction lately. Not doing as well in the genre 😊.
Well, who can turn down a free haul that provides inventory and sales! Great job Mel! Please do me a favor and protect your knees while kneeling on concrete, I cringe everytime you are on your knees like that, ouch! 😮.. Blessings
It's great when you get stuff for free as long as you can get them sorted asap and not get everything back to way when you got overwhelmed.. I wish people would donate stuff like that to me .... but stuff that I carry more of. It would make it easier not have to have the money to get what I need to have for stock each week. I don't get that happening very often ... usually people want money for everything Then again not having access to a vehicle to pick them up would make that harder too for me.
@@backfromburnout It's always nice when you can get something like that. One thing you don't have to worry about it if getting too little for them too unless you sell them at a loss. I've donated stuff over time as well to the charity shops just to make room for other stuff and some of them around here have couples that give you a discount on stuff too .. which helps when you can get some stuff that your shop needs. For books that sell l for me the stuff that sells best are kids books, rare box sets, and certain fantasy or sci-fi titles like the Wheel of Time series, Dragonlance novels, Star Wars, and Dune. But I sell quite the variety of stuff over time on Ebay, Facebook Marketplace and Poshmark,
I think you have a pain in your back because you're been over so much when you're taking photos. Maybe if you use the angle stand like a music stand or lectured stand that you could take picture standing up and just lay them up and save your back . Hope this will help
You probably can't do this DIY but I had a suggestion after you said you didn't like packing your sales on stacks of books. Can you build a lightweight table on a pulley system from above. So you can pull it down when you need it. Just don't use it for more storage
Technically this is WHY you cleared your warehouse. If it wasn’t sorted out you wouldn’t have been able to take these books probably. An empty space is always there to be filled hahaha😂
Yes! Imagine if I had piled all this on top of what I’d had!
@@backfromburnout I assume you don't bother with books you can't scan. Like older books with no images on the cover ie?
I still think one or two rolling shelves would be handy for when you get big hauls. It would give more vertical storage when processing and then you can shove them out of the way when not in use.

Wow. I never thought of it like that. I often compliment the chef before leaving a restaurant. I know they work hard for little gratitude.
@@backfromburnout Bravo to you!
@@backfromburnout That's such a nice thing to do, Mel. I'm not surprised at your generosity of spirit.😇

Wow! What an amazing haul. Great work on processing everything! Great little karaoke session you've given us too 😅👍
Thank you so much 😁 Sorry to make everyone’s ears bleed LOL
YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR🌟You're showing everyone that IT CAN BE DONE 👍
🩷
Mel that was INCREDIBLE!!! I am so proud of you. You kicked that haul's a%*. What a pleasure to watch your accomplishments. 😊
😂😂 it was free, you could hardly say no! It’s your reward after doing the punishment 😂😂😂
It’s a labourious job selling books
Beautiful job Mel! I want to say this, you are a great example for your children. I was a single parent to one and most night after my son went to bed, I was finnishing my paper work, I was an insurance agent. My son remembers the hard work that I put in. He is now 54.

That’s so nice of Jess to give you all of her books 😊

I've recently started watching your channel Mel, and have loved seeing the joy you have as you work. Books are a lot of physical labor and you do it all beautifully. I'm a retired estate liquidator, and was formally a professional organizer for a long time. You have a standing ovation from me for this video. Way to go, thoroughly enjoyed watching you process!
Thanks so much welcome to the channel!!! I appreciate you watching!
Well done!! Thanks for the motivation to get things done! 👏👏👏
You are so welcome!
What is your minimum sell through rate for listing a book?
“The size of this Big Boy” 😂😂. Well Done Mel 👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣🤪
Great video 📹 👍! Wow, free books, and quick turnaround processing! I need to get going, can't keep up with you! 😅😅😅 Have a great week 👍 😀! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada!
You can do it! :))
@@backfromburnout I can do it! Thanks 😊! I am really happy for you and Thom! All the best in 2024, many more blessings to you 🙏! Joe Bee 🐝 !
What happened to your Library Sign?
I’m not sure getting 2,000 is a score…😮
You got this! Your space is organized. You have a system. Go, Mel!!!
Mel's got big hauls, Mel's got big hauls, but Thom's got the biggest hauls of them all!!
So impressive, Mel!! You are an inspiration to us all!😀❤️ Congrats!!
Impressive! How much do you think the haul retails for?
Oh no idea. I’m just listing it all this week though!
I would have loved to see a few of the better comped book/bundles
Great job tackling that haul Mel. I found that certain crime/mystery thriller series do pretty good for me. But it's definitely a process figuring out which ones. I've been trying my hand at science fiction lately. Not doing as well in the genre 😊.
Hell yeah, that's awesome!
Well, who can turn down a free haul that provides inventory and sales! Great job Mel! Please do me a favor and protect your knees while kneeling on concrete, I cringe everytime you are on your knees like that, ouch! 😮.. Blessings
I do need to think of things like that more often!
I envy you for that paradise. ❤😊
It’s nice to be surrounded by books all day!
@@backfromburnout lol in that case they are part of your family.
It's great when you get stuff for free as long as you can get them sorted asap and not get everything back to way when you got overwhelmed..
I wish people would donate stuff like that to me .... but stuff that I carry more of. It would make it easier not have to have the money to get what I need to have for stock each week. I don't get that happening very often ... usually people want money for everything Then again not having access to a vehicle to pick them up would make that harder too for me.
I was very lucky to get all of them given to me. There was some lovely books amongst her haul.
@@backfromburnout It's always nice when you can get something like that. One thing you don't have to worry about it if getting too little for them too unless you sell them at a loss. I've donated stuff over time as well to the charity shops just to make room for other stuff and some of them around here have couples that give you a discount on stuff too .. which helps when you can get some stuff that your shop needs.
For books that sell l for me the stuff that sells best are kids books, rare box sets, and certain fantasy or sci-fi titles like the Wheel of Time series, Dragonlance novels, Star Wars, and Dune. But I sell quite the variety of stuff over time on Ebay, Facebook Marketplace and Poshmark,
Nothing like a little Shania to get you motivated!
I think you have a pain in your back because you're been over so much when you're taking photos. Maybe if you use the angle stand like a music stand or lectured stand that you could take picture standing up and just lay them up and save your back
. Hope this will help
Yes. Also I think my body was still a little sore just from picking up this haul on the Saturday
Where can I find your shop?
how can I find your ebay store?
What is your EBay channel?
At the beginning I was yelling BREATH, BREATH, BREATH and was really worried for you 😱 but you did a wonderful job and I'm very proud of you 🎉 👏
Thank you so much!!
You probably can't do this DIY but I had a suggestion after you said you didn't like packing your sales on stacks of books. Can you build a lightweight table on a pulley system from above. So you can pull it down when you need it. Just don't use it for more storage
Hmmmmm possibly an option if I found someone handy to look if the roof could handle the weight
Love the singing, very cute :)
Good for you, Mel ,we'll done
Was it worth getting to do 4 days work ?
That's really cool,your lucky
Ouch look at the haul. YOU GOT THIS MEL!!
Massive!
