What an awesome and super helpful video! I think you meant to say contact the SELLER with any questions though?
Yeah, sorry for the mistake there. Hard to type, talk, and film all at once! Lol
Great job!! I just found a huge collection of books in the attic of the house I grew up in that was built in thoroughly 1800s!!! 😁
@@ruthberman6488 Love it!
Instructions unclear, I now live in Portland.
Instruction: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! Lol
More seriously, I'd drive a bit out of town and get good deals. If I lived in Portland I'd drive up to and past Vancouver for great deals, lots of them up there. I mostly avoid it myself because I have to go through Portland.
Does eBay allow sending a message to customers asking them to leave feedback after purchasing our product?
I think it's allowed--see my other reply to your same question. :)
Does eBay allow sending a message to customers asking them to leave feedback after purchasing our product?
I believe that it's allowed--I've had a few do it. All you do is contact them via your sold orders dashboard. Just know that people don't like being pestered though, so it could come back to bite you. You'd be better off leaving a note in your shipments asking people to help you out and to leave you feedback! :)
freezing doesn't kill mold. baking soda doesn't kill mold.
It does help though, but not completely. Sometimes you can freeze or use baking soda to stop further mold growth, but you're going to need to get in there to clean it properly.
Talking about out in the country, I rent a 10x20 storage for $90 a month.
Nice!
I started with trying to justify buying 50 dollar collections. Then 100. Then 1000. Then 10,000. Can't imagine what things will look like after I break another barrier of price.
I think I'd die if I spent over a thousand! Lol Sure, I could make it work if it made sense, but that's a big leap for what Im used to. Ten grand would make my head explode. Lol
Please don't call me "you guys."
I know this is an older video but I wanted to thank you for posting this; your videos are extremely informative and helpful for people like me who are just starting our journey into collecting and caring for old books. THANK YOU!
That's great to hear! :) I'm happy to help on your journey--there aren't a lot of people doing this! I know I don't do everything perfectly, but I do what I can.
BILLY IDOL
Interesting, but he does tend to ramble on a lot.
I live in Portland. Can you recommend someone who repairs books? I have an early Wizard of Oz book that needs repair.
I'd check out this company: bookcraftsonline.com/BC_samples4.html
And, in case YouTueb censors the link, it's Book Crafts and is on the East Side. Just look it up on Google Maps.
I didn’t know but now I do
Happy to share new info with people! :) Isn't it weird though? Not what I'd expect!
@@antiquebookcollectiveBut it makes senses 😀
When u\you apply bleach to something, it will stay there forever, and will continue to degrade the paper. Not recommended.
It isn't great, but sometimes nothing else is left for people to try if they don't have the funds/reason to pay a few hundred dollars getting the pros to do it right.
fee bay does nothing to these"bad" buyers. Sellers need to be able to give real time feedback both pos/neg if experience warrants it. By offering refunds, your book biz can become a "lending library".
YES. The buyer who had the cancellation fiasco with has lots of bad feedback--problem is, it's marked as positive because eBay doesn't value its sellers anymore.
It disturbs me to sell an very nice, expensive item but not get feedback for it. I will ask, and it is disappointing when there is no response. I communicate quite a bit with buyers and establishing the repoir has made the business pleasant for myself and for them. Right now though I'm dealing with a stinker. Usually I cave but this time I will not because the buyer damaged the item then accused me of sending it damaged. She has been uncooperative and the photo she gave in the return request made it look hugely damaged when it is not. I know. I know. We have to choose our battles. And this is one I am choosing. Not because I'm feeling like a doormat but because right out the gate she has acted insincerely. I wish I'd never replied to her annoying question to begin with before she bid on it, because the question was annoying. I should have known better. I was having issues too with a set of Christmas dishes everyone in the world seemed interested in. It became so ridiculous with low-ball offers that I lost one of the cups and cancelled the listing. Even afterward a person was trying to make an offer. I told him to go buy the inferior sets listed for 3 times my starting bid. I found the cup and had kept the set for my own. Fun fun fun, right? Thanks for sharing. I hope you manage to escape Portland.
Believers of the original Shepherd's Rod message were not Branch Davidians, they were Davidian Adventist! The Branch Davidians with David Koresh branched off of the Davidian Adventist. Victor Houteff simply wrote a message to encourage Seventh Day Adventist to be better adventist. It was a message of encouragement. The upper leadership disagreed with his message and disfellowshipped him. I've read the entire message and I saw nothing contrary to the word of God. I can tell this presenter never read it.
Terrible advice, don't give refunds, you are enabling the scammers. A buyer can return the item if they don't like it, block buyers who offer low ball, block buyers who ask dumb questions, end your item and schedule to list again in two weeks. Block & Report most of all scammer/idiot buyers, before they contact you to complain. After a sale, you can block a buyer before there item even arrives, then when they get it, they cannot contact you and need to go thru ebay with whatever return scam they are trying, do not negotiate with ebyrrists. What if they leave a negative? Ebay will have it removed, because you already reported them as a scammer. That guy who canceled the order two times, you shoulda blocked him after the first cancel, then reported his scammer behavior, then end item and reschedule for two weeks later. Don't deal with idiots, you don't have to.
Thank you, oh wise one. Please, start your own channel and enlighten us all.
We're please?????
Thank you
Hope it helps! :)

Nothing worse than a time robber of non refundable time and energy. I'm so sorry. I know a lot of resellers go through this and need to hear they aren't alone. Thanks again, for your insight. Let's go 2025!

Silverfish are common offenders
So I've heard! Never seen them myself though, but I've never seen any bookworm-ish critters in books to date either.
SHEEEEEEEEEESH!!

Thank you for re-telling that story, especially with the effort you put in the first time, super cool find. XD I’ll have to keep an eye out for any 40k books and Friends of the Library sales! :o Happy Holidays. :)
Hope you can find some goodies! :)

What is the bleach solution and where to buy it?
I just used household bleach, mine was Clorox. I tried watering it down to 1 part bleach for 10 parts water and I also tried straight bleach. The latter worked better, but, obviously, is a lot harsher on the book.
I just passed the 900 sale marker! Congratulations to you!
Awesome! Congrats on the great sales, onward and upward! :)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all! God bless, folks. :)
no such thing as antique books should at least use the correct word
Lol What? What else would someone call a book that's a hundred years old? Three hundred? Are those just brand new?
Merry Christmas, Caleb. Have a wonderful holiday season. God bless.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well. :)
metal bookmarks maybe a no go for TSA travel....
Hadn't thought of that! Man, they ruin all my fun, first they ruin my dental health, now my reading! Lol
@@antiquebookcollective There was a recent incident on a plane involving a crazy passenger trying to divert course by putting a stewardess in a headlock and threats to stab her w a pen. Thank God it ended well, but now there maybe a ruling on carry on writing instruments...
@@thriftingsistersaudrey WOW. I would die if I couldn't bring a stupid pen on a flight as sitting and doing nothing for hours on end is torture. Chalk this up to yet another reason why I refuse to fly commercial whenever and wherever possible, sheesh. Ya know, maybe we should just ban pens altogether for everyone in the whole world since they are used in violent crime. Cars too. And knives, and toasters, and painkillers, after all, they all kill people. Let's blame inanimate objects and deprive the innocent of useful tools because of a few bad actors! (I think you catch what I'm poking fun at with this paragraph! Lol)
I keep all the bookmarks found in my sold books
There are just so many cool things in their pages! I've even founds some old seed pods which I was very tempted to plant. I didn't, in the end, but that was because they looked underdeveloped and like they wouldn't take--not because I was afraid that the seeds were left by aliens as a trap for me to spring decades later! :P
Is there an email if we have a private question to ask regarding book storage
You should be able to find it by hopping onto my channel page and then digging into the info area, but it's best if you just reach out via Facebook as that is usually better at notifying me. (And asking on RUclips is even better as that's the platform I'm on.) Hope that helps! :)
How much for the book.
Sorry but it sold years ago.
You are misinformed about the book and the group. Blessings
Would laying the newspapers on squares of cardboard (stacked) be helpful? I'm very uncertain on acidity and oxidation factors, and seem to be surprised by the various red flags out there, so I'm asking to avoid a preventable blunder. TY in advance!
I like to have things stacked one on top of the next as newspaper in particular will settle down against the next sheet very well and lower air flow, which means less oxidation. A cardboard spacer would just allow for more airflow, I would think. Additionally, cardboard can be treated with chemicals that might harm your books, so you'll have to get the right cardboard. I'm no expert in archival stuff, so you might want to find a museum or something where they do that for a living, my specialty is more in line with finding antiques that would otherwise be thrown away and giving them new life. :)
What about food dehidrator? Let's say a cycle of 3-4hours at 50°C, might work to kill the mold? I've got some old books from year 1780 but they stink a lot of mold.
Personally I wouldn't risk it. Especially if the books are leather bound. You don't want to bring the moisture down below 30 to 35 percent in the air around your books because it can damage them. If the smell persists, just airing your books out under direct sunlight can do the trick, be sure to open the books up so the pages get some sun, especially the smellier ones. (Personally I prefer ozone generators over sunlight though. I LOVE those things and they work wonders. You can get good ones for under a hundred bucks.)
As a buyer, i always leave positive feedback. If there was a problem, i just don't leave any. As a seller, the general etiquette is that buyers always leave feedback first, and sellers wait for feedback before leaving theirs. Its always worked that way, but within the last couple of years, ive noticed that most buyers wait for the seller to leave feedback first, which is pointless, and defeats the purpose. Back in the day, if you were the seller, and didn't receive feedback, it was polite to just send the buyer a message reminder. If i were to ever get negative feedback, i just wouldn't bother leaving them any at all. I don't like leaving bad feedback.
Yeah, I've totally noticed that sellers are to leave feedback first now. When I don't get a chance to do it first I find I get less feedback until I do get some time to. Interesting times.
