Things aren’t working as well as I want so I need to make changes. Starting with clearing this lot out.
If you enjoy these videos and want to support the channel at all (without buying from my shop) then I’ve set up is a Buy Me A Coffee link. It would be very much welcome and your support would be amazing. Link is here: www.buymeacoffee.com/stevespe...
The link to my ‘Book Buggy’ on Amazon is here: amzn.to/3P3mD6I
I would always encourage people to buy everything second hand where possible as it cuts down on waste and you can save money, however I haven't been able to find any used trolleys in my area at all.
I've used my one quite a bit now and it seems awesome so far! It can get pretty heavy when it’s full and you're trying to drag it up hill but totally worth it! Much easier than having hands full of bags in my opinion. Really wish I’d gotten one sooner but I was always a bit self conscious. There were tons at the carboot when I went the other day though so it didn’t seem too bad.
It’s an affiliate link so if you do happen to buy one then I get a small (very small) amount from Amazon for pointing you their way.
My name is Steve. I'm a full time reseller on Ebay, some on Facebook Marketplace and a little on Vinted.
My videos are about all different aspects of this how I managed to leave the 9-5 grind to be my own boss by reselling other people junk online.
If you are interested in this type of thing then please subscribe to my channel, like my videos and also leave a comment underneath a video with any questions you might have. That would really be amazing and so very much appreciated.

Just a suggestion for you to choose to ignore 🙃I focus on getting £10+ profit on what I sell to take the pressure off dealing with a tonne of slow or low-cost sellers. I aim at a 3-month turnaround. Anything not moved in 6 months (after a list refresh, offers, discount etc.) gets donated. I can't do car boots, jumble trails etc. as I work every weekend and I don't have a car.

Thanks Judith

Some lovely books there :) Just an idea - list at home ( more comfortable and I guess the first place your items arrive at), take the items to the unit for storage, and pack your orders at the unit where the items then are, so you could post on the way back home - would maybe reduce the number of trips you have to make? I guess that means you would need a printer and laptop or something at the unit though - does it have access to power? You could then store your packing materials at the unit too. I am becoming limited by storage myself, books take up a lot of space, and I only have the spare room. My problem is I don't list them until I have read them! 🤣

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Thank you! There’s a lot of things to work out still but no there isn’t power or wifi at the storage which makes things tricky. I’ll get it how I want it at some point I’m sure. 😄

Hi Steve, feeling your pain with the process improvements. I spent many years working in n continuous improvement and reading the Toyota Way was an eye opener. The only book I found that allowed me to understand how to relate the methodologies to my own situation. Keep it up!

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Thank you! I’ll try and check it out. 😊

i feel like your adding more steps in the process then it should why dont you just have a listing area and packing area at the same spot in the unit if your low on space, you just doing a lot of back and forth to the house, you could have listing/photo table with a label printer underneath it so the table can be a packing area if ur not taking photos. just a idea, just do whatever your comfortable with bro

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

I’m always making things more complicated than it needs to be. It’s just how I roll unfortunately. There isn’t any power or wifi at the unit which makes things extra tricky.

how much u make a year doing this business?

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Not really something I’d be willing to share with some random person on the internet but thank you for the question.

@barryjohnson436 11 дней назад

Can't you set up a packing station in your garage?

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Do you mean in my storage? That could be an option at some point. It’s a bit too busy in there at the moment but it might be something I do in future.

@tomorrowmaybetoolate5853 11 дней назад

why not try packing it before you sell it and mark it up clearly and put it into a SKU system

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Thank you. Yes that could be an option although it might take up more space and time if things don’t sell.

Steve . Don’t take this wrong but you are never going to make a decent income by purely doing books, primarily Book bundles. They take up lots of room and are generally slow sellers , heavy to post & also low profit. Why not have Amazon FBA as part of your business & also another niche . I sell books . Probably 1500 active listings on eBay and probably similar on Amazon , still need to push other niches though to make decent cash From your videos you seem all over the place tbh . Get organized , treat it like a job and set big targets to hit . 30 items a day , minimum net profit of £10 per as a starting point . Forget the free stuff you find while walking the dog. Focus on buying quality stock that can work for you . Don’t be scared to spend . Good luck ! Your destiny is in your control ,

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Thanks. I’m not a fan of Amazon FBA, I’ve tried it and there’s lot I don’t like so I don’t use it.

Hi, so trying to be helpful. You are very unorganised in your process. I started life as a process/production engineer defining and commenting *!( manufacturing assembly processes. I would (and have done this myself) move all books in what ever state they are in to the unit. there I have a jackery powerbank and a thermal printer. Alsoan old MacBook (which I often just leave there) Everything is in one place. including a photo setup. Watching Mel (back from burn out) you'll see what was suggesteddt to her by an American ebayer. So you can photo and store books at the unit and then build listings in your office at home if you wish. I think this is helpful. I hope so.

@SteveSpendsaPenny 3 дня назад

Thank you. Yes I’m very unorganised. I always have been and probably always will be unfortunately but I’ll work out the best process for me eventually. Unfortunately there’s no power or wifi at the unit which makes things tricky.
