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.
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! 📚🇦🇺🦘
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 $$#
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.
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 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!
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.😊😊
