I like to get boxes for less than 70 cents each (shipped), but it is getting harder and harder to do. The *** boxes are my favorites that I use the most.

Always glad to learn from you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. In addition to books, I pick up tshirts from Alabama.
Great stuff! Really like those sock books; have to keep an eye out for those..
Niceville!!!!
Thank you for all of the information on your videos. Could you in the future explain how you list an ex library book. Thank you!!!
Great suggestion!
Love the Firefly shirt! I have that bullet bill shirt in your other videos thumbnail too! So, I had to sub obviously:)
Oh yeah! Nice video with great info too! :D
Please let us know if you figure out the year(s) covered in the Fort Leonardwood annual?
Cool finds !
Hi from Atascadero (next door to Paso)
From Pismo to Paso- doesn’t get much better!
Hi Shane. Your videos are always very informative. I'm very new (about a month and a half in) into book reselling and I've been able to build up what I feel is a decent book inventory of 120+ books listed but staying cash flow positive. However, I am trying to get a better feel of how long it took to become a couple $100 a month cash flow positive and how much inventory it took to get to that point on a consistent basis. Any thoughts are welcome.
What sell through rate do you focus on when sourcing?
Your videos are always packed with great information. Thank you. I have a question about warhammer books. I have 28 books and I lotted them together but I am not sure that was the right move. Comps tell me they should be selling but for some reason they aren't. I listed for $336 plus 15 shipping. Too high? Should I split them up? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Many who are into Warhammer probably have some (or most) of the books in your lot, and $336 is a lot of money to spend (they'd have to go through the hassle of selling the dupes of what they already have to recoup some of what they spent). If you can't sell them individually at a profit (best option), lot similar ones together in lots of 3-5. (Lot the intro/basic rules into one lot, Dwarf stuff into one lot, Lizardmen stuff into one lot or whatnot etc.)
Hi- without seeing the titles that seems like a fair price. No sell could be influenced by total price (fair but harder for people to justify) and people that don’t need the whole “library”. I would probably look at individual high priced ones and pull out. Then make into smaller lots- by common series (Horus for example) or even author. Or try to lower overall price if you just want to move- people love a deal.
@@johnathin0061892 Thank you for your suggestion. I got the books for 50 cents each. I think I will pull them and regroup.
@@curatorofthelost Thank you! I appreciate the advice.
@@johnathin0061892 Great point! I think I will pull the listing and regroup them.
12:25 I have a US ARMY training center yearbook for Fort Knox and I've had it for the longest, but I have gotten soooo many emails about it with guys wanting to know if a certain person is in it or what year it was put out. I have a photo showing the year, but they must not look at all the photos. Anyway, I have had so much interest in it and someday, the right person will find it and get it, but in the meantime, it has amazed me how much interest there is in it. And there are two watchers who don't want this one, but they want the one with their year so they keep watching mine and Ebay is always showing it as a book I can send offers on. Of course, there's no point in sending offers to the people who don't want this one, but Ebay doesn't know that, and, in the meantime, I have books with 6 or more watchers and Ebay never offers those for me to send offers on. Makes me crazy. But I know that this book will sell when the right person comes along.
I had to look Op-Art up! Optical art. Fun!
8:57 Alphonse Mucha 🙂
I'm having trouble listing things right now because my phone suddenly decided it won't sync with my laptop so I can't download photos on Ebay. Weird.
Great video! Hope you're having a great summer!
What scanner do you use
I just use ScoutIQ on my phone
ARCs and UCPs are difficult to sell. Has to be very specific. Big name authors and the typical fantasy and sci fi sell way better.
