I've had the same experience with Whatnot. I took a break from it, but im slowly back to having shows again.

That was good reseller talk , thanks for sharing

If you start a district let me know. I would be interested in working together with you.

I’m on the sidelines still with Whatnot, but thinking it might be useful for blowing out low priced inventory instead of re-donating. What do you think? Like you, I tend to get media in lots, and I’m trying to find a good way of moving stuff that isn’t worth enough to bother listing on eBay.

Hi Katie. I got sick of going to Book sales and discovered doing pick ups. I discovered your podcast and listen to them about doing pick ups and it helped me a lot. Thank you. I’ve been doing it by sending flyers out to different sources where I think I can get books. I spoke to someone about how they work out their garage and have a website and people call them. They don’t have to send flyers out. Lost track of them. Thought I’d ask you do you know an inexpensive way to set up a website and also, where do you advertise the website to get free book pick ups? I haven’t figured that out yet. Any advice thanks. Lou.

oh and i sold that brail playboy for $500.00 what a grail! \

I grade with cgc, psa won't start until 2025, super cool stuff!!! Do you think 1st apperances (like T Swift) are worth getting i have 5 of her 1st app

I'm new to pango books 😊 what does it mean when someone has add a book to their private book self? Thank you so much

Law #48: Assume formlessness, be like water. 🙂

If you say, books aren't selling, then they doing it wrong,

I’d love a video specifically about ephemera. I have tons of cool stuff and some very old. But idk what to do with it, how to lot it up etc. Or any tips on how to search this stuff. Thank ya ❤

I listen to Ryan’s podcast! Super helpful information.

Ebay has an uncorrected proof in your features drop down menu! Looks good!

I dont know how you do it - every thrift sale I find something I want for my personal use 😂😂

Great video thanks for taking us along 😊

OMG thise fans take me.back!!! Most churches handed them.out every summer service 😂

only in america

I need a tribute to the North American Little Golden Book, the Mother Goose book that had Hey Diddle Diddle located on the front cover and the page that had Humpty Dumpty/Humpty Alexander Dumpty getting scared of falling off the wall by sitting on the wall in balances.

Have you done a live auction without photos of the books ?

My theory is this, when I remove many items from my listings, I think EBay’s algorithm steps up. People are going to say that’s probably all wet, but it works for me. also I think removing items that are old under a certain dollar amount and just not selling, and donating those that fall into that category, very cathartic

DON'T SMACK on your video!!!!!!

I don’t remove listings unless the items are really bad. I look for old and low view/watcher items and try to strengthen them. Improve item specifics and titles, try an a.i. description, lower price, and try free shipping if possible, then increase promotion percentage. L

Personally I can't afford to not sell anything that sells :(

I recently took down about 75 books, created some lots with "same author" or "similar subject" and listed them that way and they have done surprisingly well. I like Pango for the lots, I know you don't do pango anymore but I've been happy with it. I ended up with only 10 odd books that didn't fit anywhere so i ended up dropping them off at some little free libraries.

I agree with everything that you're saying. 😊 I've put items up on auction on both Whatnot & Ebay with really low starts to move items along.

I sell more than books, but purge my store annually, oldest listed goes to donate. Gotta make room for the new inventory 👍

Your picks on sells or offers receive after delisting 200 items makes sense to me, my point is : I take the same principles like Google does on SEO , focusing your resources on the things that will make you the most money and then they will give you the traffic, google , amazon , ebay works with algorithms and they consume a lot of machine resources, they will definitely reward you if you focused on things that matters and not doing random liatings with out any reasons, I truly believe that is the reason you get more traction after delisting all that inventory , hope that makes sense to you and others , I did SEO for many years and one thing we oftend do is deleting old URls.

I really appreciate your substantive and informative videos. I do book selling as a hobby but to watch someone who does it professionally is another thing entirely. I like that you use every part of the "animal", i.e. you harvest the library cards for ephemera.

I haven’t unlisted too many items yet but gradually I am. I believe the $15 cut off is a good price point. Thanks for sharing this as it gives me more motivation to get it done.

I have an up-to 1000 item store and whenever I reach 900-925 items, I cull my lowest priced items and the less expensive items that have been listed the longest time.

I recently did a purge of the store. About 20% of my items were removed. Old stock not selling and a few leftover low dollar things not worth my time. I started doing a purge last year at this time of year because of the US-12 Heritage Trail highway sale. Live close to Michigan Ave. So it gives me the opportunity for an audience for a garage sale in which I sell things dirt cheap. Removed listings, death pile regrets I know I'm not going to spend the time on and my own items as well. Made $400 this weekend! Leftover has been listed as a FBM free curb alert and anything leftover will probably just be trashed. I may donate if I think it's worth something to someone. In general, I've raised my overall ASP as well and paid better attention to sell through rate. Done more sales on older items. Haven't done as much sourcing either, but I've still been able to list regularly. I'm actually in nirvana right now. Have been for a couple months. Sell as many items as I list each week which is awesome. And I love looking at and analyzing the numbers, which have been better compared to last year. Selling less, but making more. It's motivating knowing where I've been and where I want to go financially.

I did the same for my reselling business. I dont do it as often anymore (as we discussed on IG) but there was just a point where the free items I could've resold wound up just taking too much space. I looked at it as a safety hazard too, being in home insurance. I couldn't in good conscious have too much for not alot and risk theft or a fire hazard

Game Informer is probably doing really well right now, I'm seeing a lot of solds in the last couple days. GI suddenly went out of business the other day so it's been in the news.

PSA is a grading service specializing in mostly cards. If you are apart of PSA's Collector's club you get a magazine monthly that's personalized to your interests. Some magazines are variant covers that are limited and serialized.

I live near some universities, so I am finding a number of academic journals. I wonder if you ever had any luck selling these? Will report back in a few months

PSA is the grading service. They put out magazines it Seems.

I just sold a nice $60 Fortune magazine

Great info, thanks for sharing! I’m going to look into Poshmark. I’m already considering selling my books on Mercari but I’ll checkout Poshmark. I wasn’t sure books could be sold there. Thanks!

Does Pangobooks pay the postage?

How did you find this pick up ?

Collections retention policy!

So these were books you can send to Amazon even with the stickers and markings of a library book?

Do you have recommendations on where to find trending for etsy?

Thanks for this content; I've learned a ton from your channel. I enjoy finding good signed copies in the wild, and it happens with such surprising regularity. You're right that it helps to take the extra few seconds to flip through and check; autobiographies in particular!

Thanks for this. I just happened to see it on a day when I was pretty close to applying for a standard paycheck type of job. I've been a book reseller for years, and exclusively self-employed for the past fifteen. This has been one of the hardest years, maybe the hardest. Things are getting more and more expensive. Those bills are getting higher and higher. After terrific years in 2020-21 and my second best ever in 2023, things have taken a marked turn for the worse this year and it's starting to feel unsustainable. Encouragement like this from someone who's in the same boat is reaffirming and makes me want to keep going - and feel that I'm right to keep going. Again, thank you.

Ok...it was the fake sneeze and the way Brendell imitates your hand motions for me! He is so sweet. Also great advice all the way around. I use the summer to wood burn extra batches of my most popular Christmas ornaments. It just makes Q4 so nice because I don't have so many custom orders to fulfill. Anyway.....advice was spot on. Thanks for always being a light and inspiration in the community Katey!

oh..that's right..we're supposed to be kind and supportive of each other...the news makes me forget sometimes <3

Katey, thank you for the video. I love when your son pops in the video, he is adorable and he is getting so big. I too take any stress, Ebay related, or life in general, and release it to the universe, as well as working very hard to help the universe work for me😂 I also use this time of year, to do sourcing & I don’t feel that much stress. Thank you again for all the great advice
