Fun video! Good info! 😮

What is Amazon FBA? Sorry, again, new to your videos. 😊

I don’t see the link to Scout IQ. Can you elaborate on what that software does? New to book selling. 😊

look who has 5k subscribers

So helpful.

clever idea with the pics great vid!

I really appreciate this video! Never crossed my mind, but the message about ship dates in the pics is brilliant

Can anyone tell me how I can remove an oil and turmeric stain from a book cover plsssss😭😭😭😭😭😭it's my sisters book tht I stained and she will kill me if she finds out, so someone pls help me out💀

❤

So many great ideas....thank you for sharing all this knowledge ❤

There really is a market for everything ❤ and I definitely see the appeal of the handwriting for nostalgia purposes

Literally just bought a fashion history book *because* it was listed as having been from the personal collection of a costume historian and was annotated throughout the text.

Hi Katey - good video. I saw a rare book dealer who talked about selling books with annotations and inscriptions + Especially pertinent with generational differences.

I sold a book about a dog breed and it had legal pad notes from the previous owners dog’s condition; people don’t mind when you’re honest about what they are getting; I love adding the flaws or materials or ISBN to title because some people don’t read description or look at all pictures; thanks always for sharing your experiences and research; continued blessings and success ❤

This is great info. I always knew that some people like the writing and inscriptions, but never thought to put it in my title. I usually just put it in my description. Some people like worn out, well loved, items.

This is really good advice to hear! I just got a set of 7 original 1st Wizard of Oz books from 1904 from an estate sale but a few are in very worn condition… I was hesitant about listing but I’ll try now!

i love selling vintage books with annoitations - i have 2 early 1950's arithmetic text books with some writing and formulas, even some old homework. i have a copy of Strawberry Girl with lots of teacher notes. oh and i just sold a copy of Codependent no more, which was heavily highlighted and also had notes i almost kept for me! lol book lovers understand there is this timeless connection with books, almost like a part of you is still in them after you read it <3

I have used the term "heavily annotated" but usually not because I think someone will be looking for that, more so they are forewarned that it isn't pristine. I've definitely been aware there's an interest, but I think its also very hard to find antique books with writing throughout, because books were much more precious in the 1800's. I love inscribed books myself, when I'm selling a book with an inscription, I also type it out in my description, especially if there are any names, I try to include the full name. There's always a chance an ancestor searching for books about their lineage will be searching the name and find it

Just found your channel - thanks for this! I enjoy selling vintage religious books on Ebay. This is a great thing to look for.

Crazy "Out Of The Box" Video. I guess there are more niches in bookselling to be discovered. Thanks Katey!

❤ great video

I have thrown so many of these away 😮

ooo fun

Thanks so much for this info, so much to learn. questions: 1. Are you still in SC, How do you keep Etsy buyers from selecting media mail for non-qualified items and do you provide 1 0n 1 consultations? Thanks for all that you do!

Great video, I am going to a book sale this weekend that I did well on sourcing postcards last time I was there. I recall them having lots of bookmarks too so I will have to see if I can put some small lots together to try it out.

To anyone watching this, Katey’s custom bookmarks are amazing. She created a whole set of bookmarks and a journal out of a Labyrinth VHS cover for my wife. She not only gave me options of what cover but kept me updated through the whole process. My wife was amazed of the quality.

Hi Katey. Thanks for the video. Really interesting. Good information. Georgia

I throw all my bookmarks and ephemera from books into the bottom drawer to go through later. Thanks for the video!

i'd love to watch more crafting videos! paper crafts is so soothing i'm a big fussy cutter

There's been so many learning curves with book reselling for me. I would find a good source for buying books in bulk, and then new management would change buying guidelines or would cut out selling in bulk altogether. Selling to used book stores had faster turnaround for small profit books, but it was stressful to depend on that to cover living expenses. When my main source for buying in bulk flopped, I went back to buying individual books. Road trips to hunt for books were fun, and I didn't need to deal with all of the trash from media pallets. My strategy was to find higher end books to sell on Ebay, and price them at half of the Amazon price. I'm sure buyers bought the books are then resold on Amazon, but I was happy with half of the Amazon price. Changing book reselling to a secondary source of income helped too. I wasn't focused on thinking I need a certain amount of money for living expenses, and capital for box truck rentals, media gaylords, and shipping supplies, by the end of the month. I still buy 2 gaylords of books a week to stay busy with something but it was freeing to stop buying 40 gaylords a month. I quit thinking as much on a monthly sales basis and more of a quarter basis. Some months, I might not sell the first high end book, but then there's months where I sell 4, so it all averages out. I've been transferring any profit from reselling books and investing it into 5 stocks that pay dividends, nothing huge, but in another 5 years of compounding, it will cover 1/3 of living costs. Or I could keep letting it compound another 15 years and semi-retire. Side note, I've never been big into collecting things before, and sure, I want to sell every book I have, but its kind of cool to show friends a high end book like a rare OOP photobook. So in a way, I enjoy collecting the rare books. It makes having patience easier, lol rather than having boxes and boxes of the Left Behind Series books.

Hey, thanks so much for this video! I currently only sell vintage on Etsy (books And other stuff), and I'm only part time. I've been interested in these other platforms, but its a little overwhelming to me, so I really appreciate you giving this overview of all these different sites.

Brown bags! Brilliant! I always deal with banker boxes

Selling the frame alone after craft? I have the perfect image for what you described.

I love how you describe "just have to go"! 😊 My brain says it to me all the time 😅. Mainly focus on books but always have to look lol.

The only issue with multiplatform is when they all work! 😂 I believe central seller manager software that interlinks the platforms is worth the price, if you build it right it makes just 3 places to login and manage the business

this was such a great video!! i can't believe I was sleeping on this chat what an amazing job you did. You guys sounded like book besties!! I started on Pango when they first started and i uninstalled it bc i was buying more than selling. i loved it as a buyer and so this made me redowload the app, bc i love all the new changes ya'll were talking about!! and i just found out that i still have money on here! lol that's good to know

Awesome video

It’s def saturated on eBay. And these people charging so little for their asking prices is crazy. I hope that model works out for them.

I too have used PangoBooks with limited success , I do find them trouble free and will continue listing.

When is this video coming out?! I can't wait!

I’ve heard the horror stories about Amazon. This is awesome 👏🏽

Would spy novels or thrillers by authors such as John Grisham sell well on Amazon?

Hey I have alot of books I need help selling

Does anybody ever list the same book on Amazon FBM and Ebay?

How do you select books to send to Amazon FBA? Is it primarily price -- and what would be the bottom cutoff? Also, did you try FBM first to see what Amazon was like?

Merchant Fulfilled vs FBA? Avoiding or dealing with storage fees?

What's the most profit they've made on a single Amazon book sale? What's the best book they've bought for themself on Amazon?

It’s it Cody? I hope so.

So are you placing adds to obtain these books, and if so what platform are you posting the adds on? How exactly are you finding these free books?

Definitely do a crafting channel! Would love to see more of that
