[@kbal1451]

Anyone who asks you to unload a container, should consider asking them to put a mortein pesticide bomb in it a few days before so you're not taking pests that can start an infestation back at your shed. Should quarantine this haul before it goes near your other stock.

[@flipperj394]

Tom’s a great guy! Everyone needs a Tom.

[@kathleenhazy6126]

I couldn’t agree more. 😂

[@backfromburnout]

He is a great guy and he’s done a lot for me. I’m very grateful.

[@backofthepines]

He's hilarious

[@spiriofmanu]

All we need is love 🎶 ❤

[@juanpacheco3011]

Fo real I got stuck with a Tyler 😆

[@VayaP]

Would love to see an update on how some sales go from this one!

[@krisla3142]

Tom and your son are absolute gems for helping out! My only critique is that you handled books and boxes that had mold and animal poop and at times you would touch your face with the dirty gloves 😭

[@backfromburnout]

I know. It’s kind of habit and you don’t realise these things until after when you watch it back. I promise I had a big shower at the end of it.

[@outbackchick5111]

And ate the snakes

[@MakingEndsMeet_JudysStopNShop]

Congratulations to Tom for getting Mel to keep going to the end! 🤣😂😅

[@backfromburnout]

Ba ha ha

[@casssmm]

Tom needs to be a permanent feature in your videos. Everyone needs a Tom in their life! #teamtom

[@antiquebookcollective]

You know, I'd be a lot more excited if I saw a kangaroo when I was sourcing. ...Mostly because we don't have any and it'd be confusing. Hahaha

[@dccolorado7650]

Good for Tom for thinking of bringing gloves! You're so blessed to have him and your son to help you with this "haul", Mel. I would have been out of there the moment I saw the enormous spider!

[@backfromburnout]

I wanted to leave then lol Especially as Thom flicked it off so it was not to be seen anymore! Lol

[@kristianbezeau4051]

Get some cedar chips and put them in with the books for a while. That will cut out some of the smell. It works on books from a smoker's house. Huge haul! Wish it was in better condition for your sake.

[@Sandra___P]

Tom is really stepping up for you. Awesome guy! Good your son helped yo

[@backfromburnout]

He sure has. What a great man.

[@antiquebookcollective]

I HATE coming across so many books with so much rodent damage. It's gross and also sad to see.

[@Joan-COYI]

The guy who rang you should’ve told you the state of the container. You’ve done him a huge favour and I hope you find some real gems in there that make it all worth while. I hope you and Tom and Riley got to have a good shower and a good meal with a cold drink. Very interesting video 💕

[@ianjresells]

Snakes, spiders, scorpions, rats, even a pair of crocs Lol 🤣🤣 I can smell the stench from here Lol. You're going to have to get some air fresheners back in the warehouse Mel !! Looks like some interesting niche items in that load. The antique pregnancy testers were a great find too Lol 🤣

[@nickibair999]

Hahaha, Tom. "You gonna do this with every single book? Huh" 😂😂😂

[@backfromburnout]

🤣🤣🤣 get back to work Mel lol.

[@tanyacordes5916]

I love Tom’s snarky attitude!

[@joanprince733]

Mega thanks to Riley and Thom for helping you. Great guys.

[@susandavistv]

Tom’s a great Bloke! Smart, funny and keeps you in line! Enjoy the banter! ❤😂

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!!

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

It’s like an episode of Storage Wars

[@thatonethisone5904]

Love seeing you and Tom working together! He’s amazing

[@backfromburnout]

He’s done so much for me and I’m very grateful to have him helping me so much x

[@sorcererstan]

Tom does not look amused... as usual! LOL

[@joanprince733]

10 out of 10 to you guys for tackling that container. My skin is still crawling. Hope you find some good things to make it worth all that work. You really are up for a challenge Mel.

[@denisecoffey6269]

Toms is a great guy and your son is precious!

[@sorcererstan]

You definitely don't want to bring critters back to your warehouse. Inspect carefully!

[@backfromburnout]

I will be thoroughly going through them

[@alistairmarshall6775]

Hard to see, but the little metal tin may contain a rifle shotgun cleaning kit. I think the brass metal tube is the oil bottle for a .303 rifle. May be worth listing.

[@dahub1127]

Bravo! It is a military rifle cleaning kit and an old (1954) multi tool with can opener etc.

[@DaveRepairs]

ah yes my arab friend told me he had a .303 i think

[@pamelahaney9283]

My very first large book haul was last month, 800+ vintage Cookbooks in a dark, dirty basement. Still sorting it, ..what was I thinking??

[@backyardonorchard9420]

OMG Just watching this made me not want to touch my face! I can't believe you kept going. I'd be so worried about contaminating your warehouse. I'd recommend dropping everything else to get that haul sorted and cleaned and get the rubbish hauled off ASAP.

[@trenicetoles1020]

LMAOOOOO.....I really enjoy Tom! Yes, he can come off a bit grouchy, but I like him!

[@k2u364]

Please have a livestream or a looooooong asmr style video just unpacking, sorting, cleaning the books in this haul and making them ready for sale. Can’t wait to see how much money you’ll make from this 😊

[@The_Bookman]

By no means a free haul indeed! Brava! Thanks for the shout out and hopefully it's plenty of good, adventurous content and stock for you. :)

[@The_Bookman]

Omg. Just finished watching the vid. Ummm... Sorry? 😂 You were the only person I could think of who might be able to cope with the volume! I sure hope there was a good dose of treasure in there for you. 👍

[@backfromburnout]

Oh Luke, thanks so much. I honestly am so thankful that you thought of me and sent the haul my way! As hard as it was (and gross!) I have got some really interesting books here and I will learn a lot about some genres I haven't dabbled in very much. I appreciate you, thank you!

[@oliviaanderson6634]

loving the regular content Mel! from Scotland😊

[@holly27796]

You are all such hard workers, your kids included! They learned from the best

[@wiseowl3386]

I couldn't stop laughing! I'm like you Mel with creepy crawlies! another great video and well done to Tom and Riley for tackling the icky stuff 👍

[@backfromburnout]

I hate creepy crawlys. Get them away from me fast! Lol

[@susanelms4590]

Your son was hilarious….. a pregnancy test kit 😂🤣 x

[@backfromburnout]

Ba ha ha ha my fave thing that happened!!

[@midsb4]

Awesome watch great team work guys 👏

[@antiquecurios]

I love ratting around in old barns and containers but that was next level with the scorpions - great vid Mel

[@robertsonflipsales3979]

“Did you just lick that!?” 😂 love Tom, he gives off strong big brother vibes 💪

[@ba3140]

Wow what a rough haul! Good luck, Mel!

[@carochan86]

Can’t wait To see an update of what sells by you and Tom from that trailer.

[@backfromburnout]

I’ll be sure to update!

[@mimisoutlet]

Too funny listening to your reactions 😊. Lovely collection of books and animals 🤣

[@siggiFunCrafter]

Thank you Tom and your Son for helping great job

[@MajelCats]

I watched the whole video. Really enjoy the long work day videos. No talk-Shipping is still my favorite “white noise machine”

[@kimramsdale5088]

I really enjoyed watching this video, it has given me a great laugh. Tom is great for helping. Please keep the longer videos coming 🙏🏼

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you for the feedback as I wasn’t sure if this would be too long.

[@chappy675]

I love that your son is wearing a Chicago Bulls shirt! 🇺🇸

[@backfromburnout]

He loves basketball! It’s his dream to travel to America to watch the NBA

[@Joan-COYI]

We all want Tom. Run Tom, run. 😂😂😂

[@monicapharo2330]

This is fantastic, I really appreciate long unedited videos.

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you for watching. I was worried it might be too long. X

[@antiquebookcollective]

That's a HUGE haul! Phew! Free is nice too--even though it's not totally free, like you said.

[@gayenapier]

Okay so that video is now one of my favourites. Always up for anything aren't you Mel!! So good

[@backfromburnout]

I sure am! I don’t always love it but I’ll give anything a try!

[@KumarSingh-yp9hv]

What a crazy haul!! Good on you guys to battle through it. Can you please track and update us on the sales and profit from this haul. Will be interesting to see what you get in return for all that hard work! 🔥 🐀

[@mrststreasures9628]

Free haul - cost of the van rental rest is sweat equity and favors owed. I think Riley liked digging - don't you?

[@zachariah7114]

@@mrststreasures9628 and time/opportunity cost

[@MayContainFacts]

I can only imagine the moisture damage 😢 good on the lads for helping. Don't burn them out!

[@BKVendingFlipping]

So much work. Excited to see what all you end up pulling out of this haul.

[@backfromburnout]

Me too! Kinda lol

[@RetroSho]

Greetings from NY! I hope you charge the next guy to haul that stuff away and clean up! What a hell of a job that was! Thom is truly the hidden gem for you in the last couple of months. We all want a Thom 😂

[@FigsyGames]

Tom is really awesome! Tell him to Start a KZbin channel, I'd love too see more of his store

[@backfromburnout]

He is so busy with his massive store and he sees how much time this takes me.

[@dottiesvintage]

Some of Tom's expressions are cracking me up. You are mighty lucky having those two helping you.

[@ornzwa]

Couldnt agree more. Such a character.

[@backfromburnout]

He’s a great guy ❤️

[@BillLeiser]

My favorite episode you have done! I was hoping to see a Huntsman 🕷️spider, but the scorpion 🦂 was a surprise! The fact that each of you were pretty casual about them was tremendous!

[@user-xo1nz8no3k]

I just stumbled across your channel. I’ve been watching it all day. You and Tom inspire me to do better on my eBay store thank you. you guys are amazing.

[@Zenwithpen]

Omg we’ll done for getting through that. I would have tackled it as well but my husband would curse me. Only thing to worry about now is that they don’t smell bad . Good luck well done

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Oh my Mel! Thanks for the heavy-duty help from Riley and Thom. I was creepy crawling 😂most of your video. I was expecting more crickers to jump out from inside the box, lol.. I was Mel stop touching your face and hair, ugh! Scrub well! Anyway wish you much luck on the extra work coming up and your sales! Blessings

[@nikandchely4162]

Mystery of the unknown. Looks like fun.

[@bonniebrink3048]

Best one ever!!! My kind of place! Love Tom and your son

[@gwenhill5828]

This is by far the funniest video that I've ever seen from you😂😂😂

[@callie9343]

Glad you have some help.

[@sharibrewster4153]

Looking forward to your update after this! I hope you found some real treasures after this disgusting adventure.

[@jeffcole1914]

I’m loving Tom lol at the start he’s got my let’s get going you have your work cut out Hope you find lots of great books…I bet they telexes will bring awesome money kudos on raising your son what an awesome young man.

[@atlantadeb7139]

OMG!!! What a messy job. I hope there are a helluva lot of treasures worth thousands bc you three earned it. Mel, I'm glad you didn't fall climbing over those boxes. I hope you didn't hurt your back on some of those heavy ones. You are AMAZING!!!

[@backfromburnout]

With all that man power near me I didn’t lift anything too heavy for me lol. I did have to push a couple in the van but that was ok loo

[@spiriofmanu]

Hard work & dedication

[@Peterwrayadventures]

Glad you had Tom and your son to help. Stuff that scorpion and rodent dont need that. Hope you got pots of great books. Some sounded rather random ones in another language.

[@Nana_Tink]

Oh my, great haul but the rubbish, animal crap and as soon as I seen that spider, I'd been looking gone😂 Great friend, Tom. He's smart tho take the slides and photos, ephemera can be good money. Your son looks a lot like you and very much a sweetheart too. I've had my boys help me with hauls more then once, the are such great help. This reminds me of a house clean out I did. Lots of good stuff but smelly and, well, you know😂💜💜💜

[@moniquedonohue6186]

Oh Mel 😳I bet it stunk in there. ! You are such a hard worker and your son is a champion. He didn’t winge once. And Tom ! What can say. What a find he is. Such a lovely guy. Hope you find shitloads of valuable stuff xo😊

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you. Riley did great and Thom has helped me so much over the last few months I’m so very grateful.

[@Sunshine33333]

Wow, Mel, this was so much work, now we know how you always stay so slim & trim. Your son looks just like you, he is so handsome. Thank you for the morning laughter Mel, you are always a pleasure to watch to the end!!

[@lightbarssirensaustralia]

Nice haul, now the hard part sorting it :)

[@marnosmarket695]

Wow, those slides and photos could bring serious money! Definitely worth trying to find out who put them there

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

You're lucky to have your tom friend for supervision.... you crack me up

[@jacoble100]

Tom is hilarious!

[@heatherfoulkes3796]

Fab video! I love Tom he is very funny 😆

[@TracyEauClaire]

What a great video. What a dreamy opportunity (minus the rodents, insects, etc.). Loved watching the three of you work together and loved the banter! I'm hoping you'll make some content showing some of what you pulled out of there (once you figure out what it all is).

[@jonchan.meaningful]

That was a brilliant effort!

[@backfromburnout]

Thanks Jon!

[@novacrowsnest597]

Tom is definitely the MVP of this haul. Mel your definitely a Library Bazaar kinda gal. LoL

[@suerees665]

Love you mal and friends. Would love more videos 🤣🤪

[@FlipaClipaaFan1]

Greetings from the Us im in NY always wanted to visit Australia its so beautiful! Love the videos Ive subscribed! keep it up!

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much!

[@WorldInMyEyes1]

I've sold those Teledex things before - could be a good find... (Nic here on other account)

[@mcherry5261]

Great Job ! That was HARD HOT work!

[@carochan86]

My Dad had a teledex lying around the house. It was fun moving the lever when I was a kid.

[@seasqrlzpix7436]

Mel... That's quite the paper and book hoard! Too bad that the mice infestation ruined alot of potential salables! Hope you make out on that haul! ALL the best to you and the crew!😊👍🐿

[@mickcrisp2854]

The most niche book I have had is "Scottish Rock Gardens of the 20th Century" Needless to say I still have it! Also, look on the bright side for your day, , it could be raining! If there are any postcards from the 1950's from Salisbury (UK), they are worth a few dollars each - (selling in a bundle is better). Also there is a market for old photographs and slides if they are in reasonable condition. Lovely vlog, Mel, a candidate for "Sourcing vlog of the year"!

[@hardrubbishtodollars1759]

OMG Teledex!!! Yes GOLD! I remember them!

[@gigglegiggles3189]

Your face those gloves omg lol and an amazing Haul!!!!

[@backfromburnout]

I’ve never had one like this before!

[@siggiFunCrafter]

Wish I had a Tom

[@janetpaul3744]

I would hate to think you have brought back roach eggs, spider eggs, book mites, and mold or fungus to contaminate your new location😢 I am not a book reseller but when I do buy used books I put them in my freezer for a minimum of 3 days and then wipe them down with an antibacterial wipe. I hope all the trouble you went through works out for the good!!

[@backfromburnout]

I hope not also. I’ll be sorting the boxes fast!

[@kimnichols899]

Wow! What a haul. That was quite the dirty job!

[@siggiFunCrafter]

Mel. You can’t peel a strawberry but you can definitely empty a trailor full of Book. 📚📚📚📚📚😅😂

[@findsanddeals]

You are far braver than I am. I would have called the guy back and said "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm going to let you find someone else to take these books. It was not cool that he neglected to mention the state of things in there. I'd be afraid of transferring pest or smells to the books I already had. Not to mention the task of getting these ones clean & odor-free as well. I'm impressed that you decided to go ahead and try to save as many books as possible. Good for you & best of luck!

[@ummanas]

Hi Mel, those books in another language are mostly Arabic books. Don't throw away those that you kept because you can't identify them - they are expensive books and some are hard to find even in Muslim countries. Some of them are volume sets of religious books which are rare to find in western countries in the Arabic language and were probably shipped in by students or teachers because they aren't available to buy in Australia. I saw copies of the Quran in Arabic and books of hadith, which are books about Islam with stories about the life of prophet Muhammad. If there's a mosque, Islamic school or bookshop near you, you could contact them and they would probably be interested in buying them, or at least they would be able to identify them for you and tell you whether they're worth your time trying to sell them. It was a lot of work just sorting the books worth keeping. Hope you had a long soak in the bath after so much lifting that day. It should keep you busy for a while as you work your way through listing them all. Wishing you much success with this huge haul. A round of applause too for your son and Tom for their much needed help.

[@backfromburnout]

Yes there is a lot of Islamic books many in Islamic language. It will be a hard haul for me as I’m not familiar with these types of books. Great tips and ideas and I’ll look into those!

[@backfromburnout]

Riley and Thom did amazing. I couldn’t have done it without them

[@moanathomas]

Holy shit Mel! That’s a doozy… 😮😮😮

[@simmoneb4524]

What a haul! I'm so glad you had help. As Riley opened the door I could imagine the smell! Thank goodness the largest living critters you came across were insects and the huntie. I'm amazed there weren't a few more hunties in there but am glad for your sake there weren't! It's going to be fascinating to see you work your way through this haul. A good stock of gloves and scented baby wipes will be your best friends for a while. Peppermint essential oil deters a lot of pests (including spiders and mice) and smells nice and fresh. I'd be using it around your warehouse to keep critters at bay. you never know what you import with any haul you bring in. Other oils help too, but peppermint was the first that sprang to mind. Gee, I hope there's lots of gems for you in this haul. It's terrific that there's stuff that Tom's has his eye on too. It can be difficult to say no to such opportunities because you never know when the next big ticket item is likely to appear. When you first showed us your warehouse, I wondered how long it would be big enough. Seems you fast approaching capacity! Today, after I photograph so stock, I'm going to settle into my rocking chair, out in the sun, and browse the books I bought from you last week. I was thrilled to receive your parcel and am hopeful the information in the books will help restore my wellbeing. Love your work Mel! Cheers, Simone 🧘‍♂🐈‍⬛🌷🫖

[@backfromburnout]

Oh you bought from me! Thank you Simone!!! I really appreciate that. Peppermint is one of my fave scents (along with eucalyptus). I’ll have to buy a diffuser for the warehouse that’s a great idea!!!

[@Browndogdiecast]

@@backfromburnout Watch that the peppermint smell doesn't absorb into your books. Some people (myself included) are hyper sensitive to peppermint & cinnamon.

[@sharibrewster4153]

Sorry, I hadn't finished! Roach eggs can live inside cardboard so don't take the cartons into warehouse. A really great video, glad there is no smellavision, bet that container stank! Great to have son and Tom helping - you are a great team Mel!

[@backfromburnout]

I’ll be discarding boxes and sorting as fast as possible!

[@farmlifethrifter5732]

Wow, what a haul! I love the digging but not the fecal matter. 😵‍💫 Great helpers. Loved the " knock knock" joke segment. 😁

[@backfromburnout]

So much animal feces it was gross!

[@PrebenK0476]

Poor Thom haha. You put yourself through hell for some of these buys...

[@TheFlippingFarmgirl]

Totally feeling the overwhelming struggle. I have dealt with two of these containers but they where filled top to bottom. It was easier to just load it all in the truck and sort it out away from site.

[@backfromburnout]

So yucky!

[@olgadw4730]

No snakes...Awesome!
