U shld deff do more of these its like a seek and find for us all, to see the crazy thngs u find and see.
Is this like a goodwill bins or something completely different? Thanks for the video.
You do not need a gym membership as watching you made me tired
When families like with issues do not or would not hesitate most always so that sharing is not caring. I think my mom tossed my wedding album due a money issue as I found out she tore up my phone number and never again spoke to me and she is dead. Yup being selfish has its rewards over family papers being shared. We got a foot of snow over night so this winter here in alaska we have set the record 100 plus inches along with record cold. 😊😊😊😊
WOW! Cold. I just found an entire families photo album collection and another wedding album.
Is this like a goodwill bins or something completely different? Thanks for the video.
Most people don’t have access to these pallets. To have something like this shipped it could make each pallet cost 500$. This only works if you have connections and most of those are already taken. This is why new sellers are having it so hard
I had the same issues starting out. You just have to keep looking for places that will work with you. All the best.
@@goldenstatepicker I source online I’m
Ok. I’m mainly speaking on behalf of the new people that think this is super easy. They will assume pallets exist in every dark alley. Which is simply untrue. They will be picked apart by the vultures online that claim to sell pallets of useful inventory when it’s not. I’ve been down this route and learned the hard way. Fortunately for me I make a 6 figure salary here in the bay area working in surgery. And do this part time. It’s unfortunate for the people that think this will make them a living. Not these days. People will learn the hard way.
@@goldenstatepicker Will you please share how much you purchase a bin full of books in order to not overpay for one that will be some valuable information in case I get lucky finding a company 🙏
Thanks for the video and my new addiction of books selling just sent in three boxes this week. How long would you say it takes you to go through one bin on average. I just found a source and will be going next week .
I can go fast and do one in 30-40 minutes or an hour depending on what's in them.
@@goldenstatepicker thank you
I’ve been investigating and searching for a place to buy bins. A.k.a. Gaylord’s will you be able to share your connection? 🙏
I loved watching this but as someone who would like to one day write books, this is very discouraging! LOL! I can't imagine my book landing in one of those bins. I know it's what happens but I can't image working so hard on a book and it end up in a bin. Thank You for showing us your process.
So many do. Think about me just one location and how many books end up like this.
Have you thought of writing magazine articles? They aren't usually big money, but I've written a few things for women's magazines that will take me maybe 5 minutes to write and will bring in $25-$50. Hmmm, I need to get back into that.
I have written for many publications within my profession (professional genealogist and professional archivist) but these types of publications don't usually pay for articles. I would love to get paid for writing. I write about family history, researching in archives and preserving your family records and heirlooms. How does one go about writing for women's magazines? Thanks for the tip!@@dechinta
To "No goods" torn them apart and pit them in the paper recycling bin otherwise some other looser will loose time going thru the gutter.
Hardback you need just to remove the boards as it has cloth.
I do that all the time when I've got dead trees
That is a mono Miles Davis you've got there - Columbia CL949. If it is 6-eye in decent condition, it might be forth $50 or $100. If it can be called VG+, then $150 or $200.
Thanks so much. I haven't looked it over yet.
Great video ❤
photos sell man ...easy money
Hi there, these bins…what company are they associated with that sells them? I am in Chicago so have to imagine we have something like it. Thanks so much for your videos
Look for goodwills that have a hub in the Chicago area and will sell you some bins.
I'm a bit confused. Do the bins come to you or do you go to the bins. It looked like you were outside a warehouse.
I go there.
Hi Mike.May I ask what you set your triggers at or can you direct me to a video you have maybe that explains this?Mine says the books are green but when I get them home and listed it basically says I am selling them to give away after shipping and FBA costs.
The trigger settings at default which I use tells me shipping fees etc. Are you putting in your buy cost in SCOUTIQ?
First off thanks for replying Mike.I have Scoutly Mike as apparently Scoutiq doesn't work here in Canada but apparently they are really simular.I have it set at around $3 as that is mostly the average price I have paid.After buying because it was green I list it, send in as I see what it is selling on Amazon at a profit.I understand I want to make a few dollars as I am starting out until I figure it out better but it seems once its listed it seems to drop.I know I have alot to learn I get that and your rideos help alot like yesterday you had told me what book club meant.Sorry for the long explanation but I was just curious what and if I have my triggers set up right.Thanks again Mike. @@goldenstatepicker
Thank you for this video!!
I wld save all the old phots and sell them in lots its really hard to find old photos
what was best book or record in this video?
There was a text book that will sell for around $100. The rest was a bread and butter bin.
Can you tell us about the app and the scanner you are using. I apologize if you have already done that, but I’ve just found your channel. I have enjoyed learning from you. Thanks for freely sharing your expertise.
Scoutiq is the app and there is a link below the video description to their site. Scoutiq.co
Thank you for sharing! Cheers 🥂
There are Ephemera buyers who would love those albums and family items.
From someone who lives in a hotter climate, still having the shrink wrap on the albums protects the covers, but will often lead to warped vinyl. This is why most collectors buy the plastic sleeves post market. They fit looser, while still protecting the cover.
I know that you're in this for the money, BUT if you need the write off, or just want to do something good, there are so many places (mostly institutions like psych wards, prisons...) that could really use these, especially bibles.
Blue Hawk, Thompson Falls, Montana. The Homestead Pegasus, take a closer look at that one, Cupertino, Tech studies, might be a who's who.
That star wars book was recalled and most destoryed because it had homo erotic undertones the author ended up not liking
That is alot of work and alot of books to go through. Keeps you in shape. 😁♥️
Fun....but yes it is a lot of work for me.
Would love to get the book. Thanks Mike.
What are your triggers? Is there a video with your currently triggers?
My triggers are default by Scoutiq. I set my BUY COST TO ZERO. As I explain the bins cost are picked up by the selling of items sold on EBAY, therefore my cost of the books going into AMAZON are ZERO.
Would like the book
I wld literally go get a bin every day i was able to. That looks like alot of fun. To bad most people arent gnna have access to this at all
Id love to find something like this in Ohio!
You saw Don Ho at the old dome at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. 1980 was my first year at the University of Hawai'i. Hard to believe it was over 40 years ago -- what a long strange trip it's been 🤙🏻
Yeap, it was the show to go too.
How much does Amazon charge these days for storage of your books these days? Do you have Amazon disposeof them after a certain amount of time? Probably too expensive to have them shipped back to you?
Yes, I have then liquidated at a certain time frame.
Do you have to dispose of the books you do not sell?
Yes that's why they sell them so it's their responsibility I think for an extra fee they will take all the garbage n toss it for u
Those books that are left I pay nothing to dispose of. They resell the gaylords to another country I believe.
I really enjoyed watching this bins vid. Thx for taking the time Mike
awesome vid as always
Enjoyed watching, interesting to see what you find in the bin of books. Question: When you say you need to rehabilitate a book, how exactly do you do that? Thanks for another informational video!
Most require a cleaning of the cover, maybe a hardback will require some flattening. The cover may have permanent marker. Little things. Some are beyond my expertise of help.
Mike, if you can turn down the volume on your scanner. I have used a scanner for years now and I now have a bad case of tinnitus which I attribute to the high pitch screech of my scanner.
I think it just sounds loud. It is much louder on the DOCK with glass breaking etc. I can barely hear it when I'm actually working.
I hope you don't get those Korean books again in a couple of months time
I know! I have a way of marking bins to know if anything comes around. I actually see the bins I went through get loaded on a trailer and taken away.
Thanks Mike!
