- JACKPOT OF A LIFETIME FOUND AT AUCTION
We went to a private auction today looking for treasure, and wow did we hit the jackpot! Things didn't go to plan however when the auctioneer made a big mistake and they had to start the bidding all over again AFTER we were declared the winner! This was a once in a lifetime score, come take a look at the absolute bargain we ended up with!

And I basically answer any and all questions any eBay resellers may have who are looking to grow their eBay business!
I’m an auctioneer here in the USA. That mistake and do over would never fly here!! Not in my state, anyway. Once the auctioneer says SOLD it’s sold! The mistake would have been on the auctioneer. And I’m
A little confused anyway. The worker said many many times it was all one lot, 6400 CD’s, more out back, all being sold as one. I don’t think anyone was confused except the auctioneer. And may I add that 25% buyers premium (commission) is outrageous!!! I’ve never ever heard of a % that high!! Avg here is 12-15%. But still a great haul for Tom and a super fun video to watch!! Thanks!!
Yeah the 25% is high. The most we normally get are %15 - %22 but this is how these guys make their money. The mistake was a genuine miscommunication. The CD discs are at the front and the cases and artworks were at the back of the house hence the confusion. This was a hard one for them due to the large amounts of stuff in a very tight space inside the garage.
Yes it was confusing as they were separated into 3 lots but they really couldn’t sell each lot separately as many of the cases were empty with the discs in the draws in lot 1. So no one wants to buy boxes with empty cases. It was an error by them. Thom was planning to bid on all three lots so it worked out better for him but it was also stressful as he had to start again after getting such a great price on lot 1.
Lucky you ! Commissions in the UK when buying at auction are mostly between 25 - 35 per cent.
Oh snap! 6,300 CDs for 4 CENTS A POP is absolute MADNESS. HUGE score, Thom!!
That guy talking about he has too much sh*t already. I can’t stop laughing 😂😂
He was awesome.
At $270 (+25%=$337.50 for dealer fees) for 6,300 CD's that's still less than $0.06 a CD. That's a steal
Amazing price for brand new CDs!! He listed just one for $750 yesterday lol
@@backfromburnout There were A LOT of good titles in there. Flipping through some of those definitely got me excited. Thom's probably floating through his warehouse.
UNBELIEVABLE SCORE FOR TOM!!!!! Good day for auctioning too.
Holy smokes, that's indeed a jackpot of a lifetime! I know this video is old but I'm jealous lol Congrats Thom!
WOW! What an amazing haul. It just goes to show… what goes around comes around! Tom helped you out with your great container book haul, and in return he got this incredible deal - good karma! Great times for both of you - well done.
Estate sale auctions can be awesome ways to get inventory. I got 3000 books for $50 once. Its definitely worth it to check them out to pick up large hauls but lots of work. Always great to see you and Thom having fun.
Yes Tom, that's a bargain to remember, good on you. sure there's a lot of work but you'll make a killing on it.
"is that my cha-ching or yours?" hahahah. Its nice to have a buddy in the biz
Lol. It’s always Thom’s lol
Memories of picking up CD'S from a wholesalers garage sale. Best friend had a box between his legs and a box on his lap, he was so stiff after the 2hr drive home. There were CDs packed loosely beside my daughters on the back seat that would slide over when you took a corner too fast. The boot had CD'S in every crevice including around and under the spare wheel. 😂😅😊
I had sore knees while driving and a big bruise on my legs from something I lifted lol. But it was all worth it :)
Had a similiar score when I bought out part of a book shop (the whole Sports section, around 450 books) for £2.40, sad story of a book store closing down as the seller was ill and no one wanted the stock. It's a great feeling, but also a sombre one when you score big at someone else's expense
Amazing!! What a score! Sounds like you hit the jackpot with a book haul!
Mel... It's good to see you and Thom in a collaborative effort to help out one another! Have alway's been of the "Scratch your back mentality!" Keep up the good fight throughout ALL your endeavors!😊👍🐿
Thank you so much ❤️
Is Thom a future boyfriend? 😅
"I've got 60K Records They Are All Good Stuff " hahahaha I don't know about that
🤣🤣 we will make a trip to him and see what he’s got!
Least with having multiple of some cds will be easier to list
Just saw the auction. That was a SCREAMING DEAL!!! Well done Thom!
Hey Mel Im the random subscriber you met ( Steve ) It was great to meet you and Tom in Person . Great Haul for Tom, I Got those numberplates and hubcaps you were looking at and the wooden Oil Boxes Tom mentioned , got 5 Boxes for $100 and already sold one for $200. Artie and the Auctioneer are great blokes and Im sure it was a Genuine mistake , They are true champions . The deal Tom Got isn't random at auction its the only way I Buy stuff now , its very Profitable maybe we will see some more auction vids from you . Was great to meet you .
Yeah it was a genuine miscommunication. It's all good and I get the feeling Mel will be bidding on a book lot at an auction in the very near future!
Hi Steve! So good to meet you! Yes it was definitely just miscommunication that caused the mistake. I used the text just to make it clear what was happening in the video to others. In the end it all worked out well for Thom who was preparing to bid on all three lots anyway. I’ll phone you in the next week to chat about what we discussed also xxx
That was a herculean haul, I have no idea how you fitted all of that into the truck! A mega bargain, what a result! A soon as I saw them standing in the long grass, i thought SNAKES! Thanks Mel, such an interesting video!
I remember, when I went for a trip to England, I went for a walk in the country.
I was still avoiding long grass.
Whose haul will make more profit for time invested? The bug-filled shipping container book lot or the 6000 cd lot?
Hi Amber! 😀
Wow wow wow! Auction drama, lifetime haul, bush fire, rain, pink snakes!
So good! I need more auctions now in my life! I want to hit the jackpot! Lol
What an amazing haul, Congrats Thom! At least he cracked a smile or two! Need to see more of that Thom, lol. Glad you enjoyed the auction Mel, cool video! Blessings
I promise he smiles often ❤️
Yippeee!!! Amazing haul Thom…Congrats😀Thanks for taking us along. So much fun!😊
Thanks for watching!
IS THAT A SMILE TOM???!!! Amazing haul!! Wow wow wow!
Definitely some smiles after the anxiety of it all was over!
Best haul ever - I'm happy when I pay 25 cents a CD and they're no where near as good condition as that.....well done guys
That’s a haul for the ages! Well done!!
Don't want to jinx anything so I won't say it but good team work!
Wheres the snakes....LOL...No red or pink ones for Tom.....LOL
Looks like the Dauber Wasps were enjoying the CD collection too 😁
ohhhhhh myyyyyyy!!!!! I would have flipped out in the car afterwards if that was me LOL. what a great haul and a ton of work for Tom but so worth it. Great Video Mel :)
Super haul, hard packing, but you and Thom do see the humor in it all! By the end, I was laughing!
Wow, go Thom! Whoop whoop
Loving your clearing sale vlog.
Tom scored.
Brings back so many memories of when I used to go with my dad.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
the guy kept saying over and over that it would be 3 lots together...it was probably the auctioneer confused with so many numbers haha
That "One Police Plaza" book at 6:35 really hits home.
Great find Mel and Tom! Thank you for filming that..I’ve never bid at an auction so it was good to watch how it’s done.
It was really eye opening for me.
Always love when there isn't a lot of competition for media! So many media sellers fail to show up to awesome spots like this was! Super fun! :)
I've yet to go to an auction myself, but maybe someday! :)
Can't go wrong with Primus
Ooof, this is going to be a lot of work. I just dealt with 2000 CDs and sold bulk because sorting & storage was a nightmare. I can't fathom doing this if they aren't pre-sorted in ascending order.
I won my first online auction for some weapon holsters last month. Bidding started at $200 for 36 of them (2 listings with multi-quantity) that would consistently sold for $70-80 each. I was the only bid until the day before it ended and then got in a little bidding war and had to ask my husband if he was okay with me spending more. We set the cap at $600 and luckily ended up winning at $510+fees so it was just under $600 all in! Whew! An hour and a half drive each way and I listed immediately, selling 3 the first day.
Tom…life is too short for average coffee my friend
this is awesome! I recently sold some metal cd's from the 80's and got over $30 each for them. I would love this haul, well done guys
So good. Metal CDs being great money.
Half way through.. I'm loving it! Good to see Thom colour co-ordinated his Black T-shirt with his Man-Bag :))
Ha ha
Just started watching the video but you and Tom have such a great chemistry/camaraderie on videos. Love it!
Great work guys! Loved the video Mel! Awesome auction action. Hope old mate did ok with his giant cd haul!!
AWESOME.....a Mel video to start the day :)
A long one also!
Awesome CD haul for Thom.
The profit 😍💅🤌🏻✨
Omg ! Congrats Tom!!!! What a score!!! Mel will help you with the covers 😂😂😂😂😂. Another great video xo
pretty amazing deal for Thom on those. Fun to see how it all went down.
Fantastic haul Thom. You got it even though the Auctioneer make that silly mistake. Mel when you were looking at the box of cds I noticed one was the Beatles on the Abbey Road crossing. Many years ago when they were first famous I used to live very close to this crossing. Hope Thom showed you some of the good ones so if you see them on your travels you too can buy them.
Thanks!
Was an awesome result. Slight stressful miscommunication but worked out in the end!
That’s so cool Joan! Thank you for sharing! Just an honest mistake with the auctioneer and some miscommunication but I was trying to make it so everyone understood what had happened. It all worked out in the end and Thom is very happy with the result.
Well done thom! Awesome haul! Miss going to auctions used to go to them every week at the start of my reselling journey. Good luck with the sorting. Was giggling when the guy was giving you both advice on how to sell on eBay.
Hi Mel, I am a new subscriber from Canada. I had the pleasure of watching you with Paul ( my favourite American reseller ) on the weekend and have been binging your videos ever since. Love your contagious laugh, energy and vibrant spirit! All the best as you move forward with your new location. Reading is a passion of mine so seeing all of the books that pass through your hands is so much fun.
Seen before
Wowsers! Great Vid Mel and an unbelievable haul for you Thom!! Your both on fire!!! Love it !❤❤❤
Congratulations Thom. Mel, I think you’re on the hook for several more. 😂 adios from California.
Thanks Beth!
That was awesome! I liked seeing Tom in his element.
You guys are so much fun together!
Oh thank you. Ying and Yang 🤣
Auctions are the best... if you know your category, you can do well, and it's such an efficient way to source.
It was a really fun day out to watch it all happen. I really enjoyed it.
You always make me smile, Mel. Thank you.
What a deal 😮we’ll done Thom 👏👏👏 great video Mel 😊
Thank you. Different to my normal but I enjoyed making it.
Mud dauber nest. One heck of a deal!!!!
Amazing Score...at about 5 C a piece if american dollars...not sure what it is in your country but I would take it...be up for the task of sorting out the CDs with their covers..just sit and watch my fav movies or and work on a box a night or something...I usually watch some tv after my work day is done. Those wasp nests were freaky though, hope no surprise wait in those boxes. I hope you made the trip home ok Mel, wow 2 hours with stuff piled on your lap can't be much fun LOL.
I think it is .035 with the current exchange rate.
Congrats! What a score, definitely worth the time! Awesome stuff Thom!!
So good!
What a Great Video! Thanks you!
Thanks for watching!
Thom is a living legend - He is a lovely lovely man.
I always love jackpot finds! :D
YOU FORGOT TO BID!!!!! $0.06 per CD!!! That is a Profit Dream Day!!!!
Sooooo many bottles and whatnot at that auction! Phew!
The ones without the boxes could truthfully be discarded entirely and the buy remains incredible!!!!!! He could also sell off in big bundles perhaps.
Thanks Mel. Top video so interesting and entertaining. You guys never know what time it or when you last ate your pies. 😂that’s dedication.
Great video Mel. Tom is very lucky that there weren't any other serious bidders for that lot - some serious money will be made. Would have been interesting to watch him if it reached / went over his $ limit
He was very lucky. Everyone else wanted the random bottles and weird stuff lol
I would have wanted the Iron Maiden flags
They were cool!!
You guys make a great team!
What an amazing haul. Well done guys!!
So much fun! Thanks for watching!
Worked for an auction house for 16 years and sometimes cataloged lots would be changed on the fly. The key, when it’s done is to be very clear with the crowd as they start to sell the changed lot to avoid just such situations. Usually the fine print in the terms, as you register will state the auction house had the right to do so and to settle any and all disputes. But no auctioneer likes to restart a sale over, after the gavel strikes. It slows the pace of the sale and annoys the bidders, especially if the winner then becomes the loser.
Mel your energy is so much fun and uplifting. If I'm ever in Australia we're going to an auction together.
"Sourcing Australia" would be a major adventure.
Sheesh good deal. I enjoyed the video too! Beautiful day with the birds chirping 😁
Oh I said that before the fire 😥
Thank you! It was a little different o my normal video so I appreciate you watching x
Umm does Thom realise we saw his excited face? Nice one team.
He was so excited, I had to cut out his exact comments when he shared how excited he was lol
I scoped a bunch of 80s and 90s music in that lot. Definitely a jackpot!
So many great CDs and already some sales.
Phew, that'd be a ton of work to match all the disks to their cases! I don't envy you all! Hahaha
...Okay, fine. I might envy y'all a bit. That's a ton of potential sales! Congrats on the score! :)
I love it how Tom gives it to you haha
Oh trust me, you see the censored version 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! That's a hell of a haul! You and Thom are going to make a ton of it! Being a CD seller myself, I haven't had that big of a haul yet, but there's still time!
You will find one soon!
Those are pristine.
So good!! What a great buy!!
*Love it* .. 🤣 .. *that's how I leave every auction* .. 🤣
My very 1st estate auction I could have purchased a antique player piano w/tons of sheet music for a Dollar .. no one wanted to move it. Had I owned a truck that piano would have gone home w me and proceeded to be hauled from every home I've lived in since 🤣
*I was 17 & had an absolute blast*
I love the banter you guys have
Hello from Germany 🙂
What a Cluster!!! i would not be happy. I attended an Auction in Country SA that was similar to this. A lot of old records and DVDs ad VHS
Awsome haul I live in North Carolina USA this is what my Saturdays look like it was great to see how auctions look there great packing job on the truck
that was a brilliant video Mel a lot off those items would involve a lot of research on what they would be valued be even that retro hi fi equipment which is making a come back , some people still buy crt television for the old video games. those cd all should be in good condition if they came from a shop (what was old is back in fashion again )and can de worth a pretty penny for collectors here and overseas . cheers (live long and prosper )
Yes. Thom’s friend Matt won all the retro cassette players that were sitting near the draws of CDs. I think he paid $90 for the lot.
I enjoyed it very much I love to see your smile and wish you good luck with the sale
greetings from Belgium
Thank you so much!
Your videos are the best what fun.
Idk about you guys, but after a steal like that, you need some real coffee and a beer.
Congrats! My wife would kill me if I bought that many cds. . Lmao😂😂
She would love you though for all the profit you would bring lol
Don't ya just love reselling
The best! Those who don’t do it just don’t understand!
Can we have a follow up on the cds 👏🏻
I’ll see what I can do!
Was hope'n to see Tom beading, but I didn't see any beads. Strange too that the house was full of Jim's. 😊 😉😜😜
Hey Mel:) I recently found your videos and I’m enjoying them so much. Ok random question but how tall is Tom??? He looks like he is a body guard lol!!! ❤ I bet no one says anything to you! lol!
Best video ever! Very educational ❤
Amazing haul
So good!
@@backfromburnout you have made a KILLING!!!!!
thats an unreal price.. I would of easily spent $3000+ for that lot
I think Thom would have also!
Stupid good haul. Obviously Tom did something right, to luck into .06 pc each.
Amazing!!! It was great to be part of it
