A few months ago I went through all of our books, kids, adult all types. Out of 60+ books they wanted 2!! This was ziffit and we (don't) buy books...

[@stablechaos5433]

Now tell them how it’s a minimum price of $5-7.50 in order for the sale to be completed. Most items range from .05-.20 on average. That’s up to 50 books to make $7.50 just to send them out. It’s a nice way to clean out storage but not a business model.

[@Autonomous1969]

The problem with selling books is that the postage cost is usually so high that no one wants to buy them.

[@traceywindle962]

Please be aware that certain corporations have set up apps and are trying to remove certain books from society, especially older original, historical, informative books.

[@marnosmarket695]

Great vid, thanks for the info, i will defo give that app a look

[@steve5772]

Thanks for the tip on scan angel. I've got a stack of low value media to process, so I'll be using that to pre-sort them and make a stack for each buyer before I scan them into their apps.

[@themoodyteam]

Good luck with that. The SA results are very random!

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Great app - thanks for sharing

[@mrbigmel3]

thanks nic very informative

[@chrisb15151]

I've been using that app for quite a while. I do it every few months. Before I used to have all the apps open before and scanned into all for the best price.

[@salesoftheunexpected]

Great Video - thanks Nic

[@NicHills]

Cheers Pete :)

[@boomieboo]

That app would be a must-get if there was a US version that had Amazon on it along w/ the other book-buying sites.

[@lindenhouston9808]

Thanks for the information

[@rachelmitchinson5230]

The app sounds like a godsend. My husband has a charity book stall at his work that sometimes gets inundated with donations so I help out by scanning to ziffit et al. It takes forever. This should make it much easier!

[@CatkinLaneEmporium]

This sounds good, thanks for sharing! Wish I'd seen it a few days ago, as I've recently scanned a heap of books for Ziffit and WeBuyBooks and it got a tad confusing sorting out which was the best price. I normally find Ziffit the best - and it did end up with three boxfuls - but got some surprisingly good prices on a boxful of books for WeBuy. Sometimes it's hard to predict what they'll like!

[@lindenhouston9808]

Keep it up good work

[@jenniferhenderson6154]

I’ve used this app for a while as my little boy has outgrown his books. They didn’t want any dvds though

[@gaming_again]

downloaded the cheers also are the prices for the cd say £20 on note inc postage or postage on top

[@darrenmallett376]

The bell ringers are probably practising for the coronation

[@karenvyse4599]

Is anyone else having trouble registering for this app ? It looks really good and I would love to give it a try.

[@janebarrett5873]

Got a massive box of Indian Bollywood type music cds… someone in my village gave them away free- been on death mountain for a year I might try scanning them 😂😂

[@Birdknowsbest]

Just an FYI, the Scan Angel app only works in the UK, not the US.

[@williame.milverton870]

Hi Nic, I found ScanAngel online. There was no link below your video. Nor could I see a link to your Classic CD video, which I would have watched. If you do a follow-up ScanAngel video, would you please cover the BOOK CONDITION requirements for Ziffit and 'We Buy Books'. Thanks

[@carolinegathercole8473]

I bought two boxes of vintage fishing books at auction 15 months ago. Although I have sold a few, the rest are taking for ever to sell

[@danthemaninfierno]

Do you have "Fly Fishing" by J.R Hartley?

[@neilsmith5353]

..this guy went to the library the other day..he said to the assistant loudly ..'ill have fish n' chips and a can of coke please..!!..she said please don't shout..you do know this is a library ??.. he said 'oh sorry in a quiet voice..I'll have fish 'n chips and a can of coke..😅

[@petrameeson1361]

The ScanAngel app looks good. What is the least amount that you would send in ? - 25p 50p?

[@LucyGooseyVault33]

I’m trying to register on the scan Angel app but it’s been saying loading for 20 mins. Great video

[@marcwalsh3928]

Hi I downloaded the app it's great just wish you can touch the app you want to send it and it goes into the apps basket also wish you can keep scanning not have to come out each time as I scan about 200 a day

[@Piotr70-e2q]

The application shows the offered prices and buyers, but I do not see the possibility of selling using it. How to do it? Thanks for the video.

[@SavvyMumUK]

Take a shot every time Nic says 'Books' 🥃

[@thriftingsisters1226]

or "Bells"

[@larryboyd5882]

Unfortunately for dvds and blurays it does not compare prices with CEX and the prices given on the app were on average half of what CEX were offering for the same items so until it includes price comparison with CEX it really is of only any use with books. However if they can integrate CEX pricing then it could prove really useful.

[@kevak1236]

My best media buy was about 5 boxes at auction of DVDs. A lot of old science fiction series and documentaries which did OK but the big earner was 2 boxes of railway DVDs. I sold loads of train ones for in the region of £5 - £10 each, i think they cost me about 10p each in the auction.

[@BlackCatLuckyBag]

The ScanAngel app gets a 'No' from me. An advert before every scan that is made and not banner ads either but full on annoying videos with audio for chat apps and the like - just awful. Ran three Playstation 1 games and a PC game through it and got a 'nil' each time. I removed the app almost immediately.

[@nayb1398]

How would this compare with selling them on Amazon? And what are you using on eBay to check sales? Thanks!

[@Dirlewanger44]

May get a better return putting them in auction

[@alexanderhedge]

I can't wait to use the app, it will be such a time saver. Unfortunately, I can't get the app to work at the moment. You must be registered to use it, and when I try and sign up through the app a message says loading and it freezes at that point.

[@LucyGooseyVault33]

Yes or says it’s loading and never ever stops loading I give up lol

[@Piotr70-e2q]

One more thing about the app. When reviewing the results, you cannot go back to the scan screen. I don't know if it works for everyone or if it's just me. then exit the app and re-enter.

[@davielikesrush]

Can you do anything with books , which have no bar code ?

[@davidianlawn]

Such a shame. Was excited to try it and don't mind adverts, but a video advert after each scan is crazy

[@Pennypincher-um8sv]

Hey great video and funny I e just goad a load of books and this seems like the best idea to do with them just wondering do they take all books or is it condition variant because I’ve heard if they arnt the best quality they keep them and don’t pay and you don’t get your books back has this happened to you or is it a bull but great video tho. Like say I’ve got 1000 books so would like to hear back from you

[@cowantom]

...talking of Apps, what's happening with your own App, or did I miss an update?

[@mickeyb461]

No luck with the app. Created an account been waiting days for a verification code anyone else had this issue ?

[@thriftingsisters1226]

Is this app available in the USA?

[@a-khanation5279]

Does the app Scan Angel have 100 + downloads , So I download the right app

Tried the app, not sure I'll use it much as the ads are really annoying.

Hi there, I’m interested in selling cd’s as I have a hoard of them but in your video you say you are getting ready to list your cd’s but you don’t say where? EBay? I take it you are not scanning through scan angel?

[@bencetoth5516]

I have got around 5000+ DVDs, CDs and games after inheriting the collection of a family member. I did come across your videos and thought of scanning them but after one box, I realised it’s definitely not my cup of cake… Scanning through one box for a few quids..Not for me. If anyone wants them, can have a look at them, just come and offer me a price. I am based in London.

@@chinaforeverblue You box it yourself and either get it collected from your address or you drop off at a local collection point. I missed the Collection 3x in a row since making this comment and missed out on the order. I now have 5 boxes of books sitting there

[@nassah2010]

How much do these guys make selling online?

[@bitzbox]

I know you've already sold it now so it doesn't really matter, but that Enjoy The Rumours CD is a bootleg and eBay doesn't really like people selling them types of CDs on there. Just be careful picking up unofficial bootleg CDs because there's always the chance eBay could remove the listing.

Let me guess, they have to be mint or they won't pay you

[@guyking7573]

The app is pretty buggy at the moment i couldnt sign up because i didnt put the activation code that had been sent to my email in 15 minutes and theres no way to request another! pretty poor, had to use another email to open an aacount and as others say you get an advert after every scan so realy slows down the process. I don't know whether you got a version without ads Nic

[@dns383]

same here, got stuck loading, closed the app now stuck on the activation loop

[@traceywindle962]

I think scan should really have an m at the end, instead of n.

[@DavidThomas-fb8bq]

What conditions do the books have to be?

[@Andygb78]

Mainstream stuff, everything counts in tiny amounts.

[@traceywindle962]

Nic, these book buying apps make me wonder if this is a way of removing certain books from society, especially original, historical, informative books. In this era we are in now, they are b a n n i n g and c o n f i s c a t I n g certain fact and fiction books. Could we all just bare this in mind, and sell those types of books a different way, and sell to actual people who want those type of books. We must keep them in society.

Makes you watch an add every time you scan anything. Makes a good idea completely useless

[@Jorit19]

love the channel, but you are getting ridiculous prices with buying books at 0,10/020 cents a book...?! People who are selling you that should be locked up really. Getting books for cheap anywhere else where your buying at thriftstores/flea markets, etc is around 1 tot 2 euro/pound, for the rest of Europe, etc. Most thriftstores are selling books for more, especially bigger non fiction art books etc. So love the channel but this flip option you are doing is for the 1% of resellers I think who can do this. Or if you are getting books for free. Have a good one and keep up the good work!
