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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@Sandra___P]

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

[@backfromburnout]

He sure has. What a great man.

[@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.

[@antiquebookcollective]

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

[@nickibair999]

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

[@backfromburnout]

🤣🤣🤣 get back to work Mel lol.

[@unfinishedandunstoppable]

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

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!!

[@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 💕

[@tanyacordes5916]

I love Tom’s snarky attitude!

[@1991windsor]

I felt like I needed to take a shower after watching this one, Mel.😂😂😂

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@trenicetoles1020]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

It’s like an episode of Storage Wars

[@siggiFunCrafter]

Thank you Tom and your Son for helping great job

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@sorcererstan]

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

[@backfromburnout]

I will be thoroughly going through them

[@Dean-w5z]

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.

[@denisecoffey6269]

Toms is a great guy and your son is precious!

[@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.

[@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!

[@carochan86]

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

[@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

[@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

[@WorldInMyEyes1]

Those boxes of slides could be a gold mine.... and the wallets full of pictures too...

[@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 ❤️

[@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!!

[@WorldInMyEyes1]

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

[@robertsonflipsales3979]

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

[@monicapharo2330]

This is fantastic, I really appreciate long unedited videos.

[@backfromburnout]

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

[@mimisoutlet]

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

[@sorcererstan]

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

[@BKVendingFlipping]

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

[@backfromburnout]

Me too! Kinda lol

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@rich5449]

That tin you found at around the 40 minute mark looks like a weapon cleaning kit.

[@backfromburnout]

So interesting! Maybe it is!

[@MajelCats]

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

[@HouseholdDog]

Oh sell the teledex I am really tempted to buy one. I completely forgot they existed.

[@amylkw169]

Did you figure out what the "cigar clippers" are? I suspect they might be instruments for a mohel.

[@katebuechner9997]

The vintage Teledex are worth some good money.. they will help to cover a big part of your costs..

[@backfromburnout]

They should be great!

[@SonyaBatten]

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

[@DanWhoResells]

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

[@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!

[@joanprince733]

Mel 40.36 just seen a book on Salisbury Cathedral. I used to live in Salisbury and often sat in the cathedral gardens to eat my lunch. The cathedral has the tallest spire in UK

[@chuckhorus3228]

I wish I'd have found that box full of the protocols!

[@backfromburnout]

I’m not even sure what box that is lol.

[@MayContainFacts]

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

[@liannehill748]

That was fun! Salisbury Cathedral is only about 25 miles from where I live. I just want to know what you did with the spider!

[@backfromburnout]

Thom flicked it on the ground!!

[@joanprince733]

I used to live in Idmiston, a small village in Salisbury, before I moved to Spain in 2003.

[@antiquebookcollective]

Oooh! What was that set of navy blue books with the gold trim and whatnot? A lot of good-looking assets mixed in there!

[@backfromburnout]

They were Islamic books I think in a foreign language. But they looked really nice!

[@antiquebookcollective]

@@backfromburnout Cool! Thanks for the info! :)

[@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"!

[@sorcererstan]

Mel, Mel, Mel, what did you get yourself into this time???

[@toneycallis3783]

Makes for an interesting vid!!

[@RESELLERGEORGE]

that folio Byzantium boxset goes for 60-100 in the UK 👍 (i know your in Australia but still epic find) great haul

[@backfromburnout]

Woo hoo!!

[@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😂💜💜💜

[@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!

[@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

[@lin90210]

😅 I think I have OCD. I would have worked my way outside in rather than inside out and randomly in the shipping container

[@backfromburnout]

We started outside with the table but the boxes were heavy and the trailer became full of rubbish so we moved the table inside to end of the unit so any waste we could put straight back down inside.

[@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.

[@novacrowsnest597]

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

[@joanprince733]

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

[@tracygarrett3952]

Tom, and your handsome son, did a great job! Wear gloves while going through these boxes. Do you have a place to wash your hands? Can't wait to hear and see more about these! Something in this haul should make it all worth it! From the moment I saw your warehouse, I commented on it being too small. Always get a space that's larger than you think you'll need. You attract book hauls. Undeniably true, so you don't want to be turning down 5,000 books due to lack of space. I'm also concerned about the lack of heat/air conditioning. Again, Tom is your information source.

[@backfromburnout]

Yes there is a bathroom at the warehouse and I have sanitiser. I’ll clean and check all books thoroughly before making sure they are ok to sell on.

[@backfromburnout]

I have opportunities with Thom to increase space if needed. We will see how we go for a while. :)

[@tracygarrett3952]
