*disclaimer - this video was filmed a few months ago before I went to America and before I was doing the “punishment” and working through my deathpiles 😂😂 Thank you for watching!

[@JacksonvilleTammy]

Mel I was gonna say...what would Tech say. LOL

[@countrylivingoz]

I was wondering about that too. Thoroughly enjoyed this video Mel. That house was amazing, so glad its being restored. Thom flashing for cash at the end was a riot 😂😂

[@marilynwilson2326]

😂. I'm glad you said that!! I was just about to say "GUUUURL!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" 😂🤣. I just saw that video of your conversation with Technsports!!

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Hay yeah Mell. 😊 how U bean ..

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Nice score Tom. On all the new cd case s $10 what a deal ..Anny old cd s or crap cd s. I can do. Art on them Mell...I make cd clock s and record clock s. Recycling them. Help s save. Them ending up in land waste. And. I can. Make $10 to $15 on cd clock. to $25 to $35 on record clock s

[@traceytheisen8067]

As someone with an incredible nose, thanks for not getting moldy or smoker books, it’s a real turn off and wouldn’t even bring them in the house.

[@budgetbooknerd]

Marcus is my new favorite character 😂 He’s always in with a zinger.

[@CM-fk8kj]

Him being like “yeah, but it’s not” [the Beatles] “Yeah, no, it’s not though. Yeah, it’s still not.” Love that energy. Not taking fakes or perpetuating wrongness. Love it

[@pickenshovel]

Hey Mel it’s Steve , great vid , I cleaned up at that auction , brought the poker collection for $350 and it had $3000 worth of kem playing cards in it & heaps of other stuff . Can’t wait to run into you at another auction. Say gidday to Tom for me .

[@robertpowell2680]

Have to admit, you got me with the ebay "cha-ching" about 10 minutes in, I reached for my phone to see what I sold. :)

[@scotttaylor6187]

Same!

[@brianhenry2385]

“You can’t bid against me”. - famous last words. Early on my wife and I would attend crowded farm style auctions and she’d ask me to bid on something she wanted. Then we’d separate to preview all the lots. Later when her lot was coming up, the crowd got large circling around the auctioneer. I bid, then got bid up from someone else. I bid again, and again. Then the auctioneer stopped the auction to point out that the other bidder was my wife and did we want to keep bidding? She was so afraid of losing it, didn’t see me and thought I was missing it. So remember a few key tips for live auctions: 1. There are know friends at an auction. 2. Know your bid limits, so you don’t get carried away. 3. When you make a plan with someone, follow through. Lastly, have fun. LOL.

[@yaadasshows]

That is a funny story. 😂

[@brianhenry2385]

@@yaadasshows Yes. There are no friends at an Auction, even your own wife! 😂🙃😉

[@oddmanoutprops9391]

Kind of ironic there was a book about roofing, when the house has all that water damage and pee smell

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

LoL 😂🤣

[@mabelhavlin715]

I would LOVE to see that home once restored. I’m sure it will beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@maggiewhite0607]

I also buy and sell books. Not at the volume you do, but I have bought several large lots of books. My husband always says that I should buy and sell something light and small, like thimbles. It has become a joke between us.

[@lozzieburger]

I sell books too, and that is my only real problem with them, the weight!

[@Sandra___P]

Wow what a house. Great bones! Glad you held back and said no!!

[@mrslehman3]

I am so happy you did not get that lot Good for you. What a great experience and learning opportunity

[@socalogp7296]

Thanks for taking us along Mel! INCREDIBLE house! Needs alot of work, of course, but still incredible. Tom's a good dude! ✌

[@oneseniorpickin]

Oh my, Tom smiled!!

[@siggiFunCrafter]

I wouldn’t trust those stairs

[@traceytheisen8067]

Right? It was like watching an old 80s horror flick and kids are running into the back yard or Forrest and you’re yelling ‘no, don’t go there!’ 😂

[@deettetripp9227]

Amazing Price on those books! Auctioneers here can't even give them away! Love Auctions! Kool House Thanks for taking us along it was alot of fun just a little rough not being able to dig!

[@ba3140]

Oh I am so happy you didn't get that haul! You don't need to pressure yourself to buy hard hauls

[@oddmanoutprops9391]

Wow!!!! Big reveal at the end!! Mel leaked that Thom apparently has an OF account! Flash for cash

[@traceytheisen8067]

Your videos are getting so good you should rent that house out and create your own Halloween Spooktacular episode!!!!!! What an incredible location! 👻

[@HereatJodstas]

Ooh great idea for Halloween 🎃

[@FarmGurlScavengerNoel]

Proud of you Mel 💪 it's hard when you know there's some value. Even harder when you know you can leave what you don't want. It will get easier as time goes on and you avoided adding more Punishment to your life ❤️‍🔥👩‍🌾

[@lovelatham9301]

Be proud of yourself. You didn't take the rubbish.

[@karrief5620]

haha Flash for Cash, Tom's new side gig. lol

[@tdsportscards]

Good call on that one.... I could tell your heart wasn't in it.... you'd be better off cherry picking than that batch

[@valerierucker4345]

Tech, I’m sure is proud of you! ❤

[@tonyashaw4571]

Oh man that house has so much potential! Those wood floors and the entrance! Wow!!

[@christyler-rz8rf]

They should have stacked the Books with the Titles facing out...If the other guy wasnt there theyd have been yours..Dont really want low cost/smelly books unless you get really cheep....love Auction Videoes.

[@tonismith7277]

Gee, Tom takes you to the nicest places, doesn't he!

[@ianjresells]

That creepy background music approaching the derelict haunted house led me to quickly switch on all the lights and lock all the windows & doors as it was close to midnight when watching LOL👻 Interesting body language when bidding Mel, legs swaying from side to side, you made that other guy pay up for those books LOL. Thom was only slightly rocking back and forth, he's more seasoned to the bidding game Lol. Great video, loved it !!

[@backfromburnout]

Thom is a bidding expert! I'm nervous still but I will get better! Thanks for watching Ian!

[@sibbylou]

What a gorgeous old house! Feel better wishes to Tom. I would keep face masks on me at all times if I did estates. Ya just never know when those pics were taken.

[@bren70ssss94]

Good for you , its so easy to get carried away at an auction 😊

[@oddmanoutprops9391]

Every day we get a new video from Mel is a good day and a day I hope Thom gets control of that camera (don't fail me Thom, I believe in you)

[@oddmanoutprops9391]

Would you go spend the night there alone with just 1 candle and a single book of matches?? Me, fuq no

[@jeffcole1914]

I know Tom thinks you are crazy but in a good way 😂great video.

[@josephaaron1232]

NOT YOUR HUSBAND YET! LOL

[@nationalglobalstore]

WOW this is an awesome episode. you know ever since you met with technsports, now your videos are even better, love the background music and the way you film and hold the camera steady is very unique, super interesting content, keep up the great job, lol the haunted house was unreal, almost looked like a movie set outside. Your runs to the thrift stores for books is super informative too, great job. Greg from NGS.

[@Mrs-Resell]

"I shouldn't be buying anymore books..BUT....[insert good sounding excuse here]" 😂 I was relieved for you too Mel!

[@TooHipChicks]

Good for you Mel. That lot was in pretty bad shape. Glad you stuck to your guns. :)

[@debbieblincoe9880]

OMG wow the state of that place and all that black mould i would have been wearing a mask. But once it must have been a grand home.

[@Nana_Tink]

Awesome, I love going to auctions. You did the right thing, not getting that lot of books. All that mold, so very dangerous to your health. Beautiful home that needs so much work.

[@sabochan1111]

Hi Mel i am binging on your videos.. i learnt a lot and thank you. ❤ from Gold Coast QLD

[@judyfairles-ch9xt]

Another great video, Mel, so much fun watching you at the auction.

[@dshrank911]

Another great video! Hello to you and Thom, from Mobile, Alabama.

[@FindsofYesterday]

You should have saved this one for Halloween!

[@cole2404]

Awesome video Mel

[@lin90210]

Place just needs a lick of paint...dont scare Tom...he doesn't look like the type who would do well with ghost 😅😂

[@WorldMoneyWins]

You guys are great! Always making the day better. 🙂

[@TalbotCountyPicker]

Great video!

[@huxleyandlee]

That house is absolutely stunning! 😍

[@marcellaabel-curtis1150]

So much fun. ❤

[@KTTreasures]

Great video auctions are always a good time and you're right you got to have a limit if you don't sometimes you can get carried away. We love you Mel❤

[@mariemitchell6625]

Great job! It can be hard to say no sometimes. I had to turn down a nice big haul because I have so much inventory to list. Work smarter, not harder!

[@patriciakromrei5466]

Hello Mel from the 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 found ya during your stay with Paul and subscribed.

[@OtterCreekHomestead]

Come on, Thom. Flash for cash! Diversify your income streams. LOL!

[@gloriaprimeau7318]

Love the video

You’re amazing!💗

Nice one Mel 😊

[@jmac1814]

Great video Mel. Thank you for posting. I went to an auction and they are a great time. Next up is a storage unit. 😊😊❤❤

[@backfromburnout]

They’re really fun but long days!

[@petesnyder6281]

Just love those guys who stop an auction. LOL

[@rosagardetoft4013]

Oooh Mel, I hope you didn't buy anything. All that mold in the house makes it 100% in the books, and you can't get it out. In a worst case scenario you get it in all in you other books😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@theupcycledshed]

Another great video Mel!

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you!

[@YorkshireRoseReseller]

Just subscribed 👍 think I will watch this video first then start my way up from the very bottom video 😂

You guys are so funny 😂

[@darlynmcintosh5417]

Wow what a neat house!!!

[@AmberResells]

This was a fun video!

[@PSJFamBam]

What a beautiful house! I’m thinking to try and find some auctions around here (Brisbane) even for personal use.

[@brickhousesalvageandantiques]

Wow that house is amazing

[@louisecavanagh1987]

Was great meeting you at this auction, just after the speed camera on the right was an awesome op shop you missed with lots of books. 📚

[@backfromburnout]

Nooooooooo we missed it lol So good meeting you Louise!!! We had a great time chatting to you and your husband!

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

[@avalonllewellyn7187]

When you said "flash for cash" I straight up thought you were asking him to flash lol

[@retrovinyl5392]

What an amazing house!

[@farmgirl1560]

You did well. Last auction I went to we came home with 2 pet lambs 😂. I told hubby our limit but of course he kept bidding 😆

[@HereatJodstas]

Well done Mel for sticking to your budget do you know the guy who bought the books be interesting to see how he goes with them. Love the house tour and these type of auction videos hope you and Thom get to do some more of these types of videos. I’m working on my death piles atm sending you both lots of hugs still smiling inside from our gorgeous day will put up some videos soon I promise ❤❤❤love Jodie

[@puppydogdiary596]

Hi Mel ❤

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Proud of you Mel for not bidding further on those books! Smelly, moldy books no way! You didn't need that extra work. The house was interesting but oh the work and money it will take to renovate. Spooky 👻 home though. That spiral staircase was awesome though. Anyways Mel you did! Keep smiling Thom! Blessings

[@cottagekeeper]

🙌🏼 way to walk away Mel!!!!

[@findsanddeals]

Wow--that house is amazing. I hope someone will give it the love & attention it needs to bring it back to how it once was. But yikes, while you were in there I was hoping no new chunks of plaster would fall from those ceilings! I hate trying to get odors out of books, so I was super impressed with you for even trying to win that lot, despite its challenges. But yeah, I totally understand you feeling relieved that you didn't actually win it after all. 🙂

[@thatonethisone5904]

Melissa! Love that name, so pretty, I named one of my cats Melissa once

[@jewelrescue]

I was shouting at the screen “don’t do it Mel!” 😂 glad you didn’t win! Amazing house though and hopefully a nice day out of the warehouse!

[@emusaurus]

Had you got that haul, it would have sat in your warehouse forever, because it's just too much work. I have the same issue from time to time. Great video but. Was really nice to see a tour of that mansion.

[@9amStudio]

Love this girl $200 shes having fun!!

[@kellyjarvis5330]

Wow, what an amazing house!

[@backfromburnout]

It will be so beautiful when it’s been restored.

[@debbiedominic1639]

Mostly, all the estate auctions here are online instead of in person now. Some have previews, and some don't. There are always a lot of bookcases full of nice condition books. I don't do books so I don't look at them. They take the old ones out and auction off separately. I love antique and old. There have been times when I had things outside, I hose them off before I bring them inside to wash. There's a lot of time an elderly person that was in there 90's, and then they've been in a nursing home. They couldn't take care of the house, so the dirt was just terrible. The items themselves were stunning.

[@shaneomack5018]

That house would be a epic fix up..

[@backfromburnout]

Cost millions!

[@wiseowl3386]

Markus is a crack up!😅

[@tracees.treasuresWA]

Don't bid too high on that flash for cash Mel. I think you could get it for free! 😂 Just stopped at Salvos & lucked out on DVDs, books & clothes. Heading to the counter found a trolley ready to be put out that included the 6 medical medium books for $2 each. Haven't even looked at the condition much yet, just grabbed, hopped in the car & listened to this on the way home. Now I need coffee too. Today's 35 degrees in Perth sucks! xx

[@vintagebodymindsoulradley9151]

I don’t buy large hauls, I like to cherry-pick as much as possible as far as books, omg mold was horrendous, people need to wear a mask.

[@cloverdo-over2541]

Good to see you posting Mel. But I immediately heard Techs voice in my head.... 😅

[@backfromburnout]

I know! I hear it also! But this was actually filmed before I went to America and I’m only just getting it out now 🤣

[@cloverdo-over2541]

I was so proud of you when I watched it though. You stuck to your price. Great job! Hope all is well!

[@HereatJodstas]

@@backfromburnoutyour voice was in my head yesterday starting my listing challenge and not buying challenge as of yesterday 💗💗

[@meghanjenkins8687]

Love that house! Do you mind going back in 3 years and filming so we can see the renovation? Haha! Just kidding...kind of haha

[@lovemytreasure]

Those books were molded, and you could have infected your entire inventory. Glad you stuck to your guns!

[@nileradford910]

If you didn't want them why did you bid to drive the price back up to over $200 dollars. Could have let that mess go for $50 dollars.

[@chanteldafonseca835]

Wow if those walls could talk! Hope it does actually get restored. How do you find out about these auctions?

[@bobhale8325]

This was a case of let your nose be your guide.

[@Beheimyth]

Big Tom "Flash for Cash"

[@texaslaptop]

OMG.... when I started seeing the mold on the walls and hearing the birds... ughhhh

[@my_flippin_journey]

@29:21 🤣

[@Jessy.shops23]

I can smell that house through the screen. So sad about all the mold. It’s a beautiful space (or was at one time)

[@Resell_crazy]

When dealing with books there are no easy hauls....lol....

[@farmlifethrifter5732]

Oh WOW! The house was awesome even in its dilapidated state. Thanks for the history you gave. I would have been seeking t h e history to the beginning. Imagine the parties that house has seen And yeah, I think you did good on the books. A lot of work involved.

[@chocman77]

QUESTION…. Hello great video as always As a beginner selling book on eBay in Australia( Brisbane), how did you find the best way of sourcing books, when you first started? 27:42

[@debbiedominic1639]

In the U.S. you run into the mouse poo I don't know if you do over there or not. Dispose gloves come in very handy when doing auction pickups at very old houses.

[@lindanavenue3042]

I’m shocked they let anyone in that house. You could all get sick from inhaling the mold and the poop! Yikes!!!

[@DaveRepairs]

Good - i thought that was a bad deal... only thing i saw that was worth something was the chandleeers and the land the building is on. That TV is old style projector, I scrapped a few as they dont sell .... so no.... rubbish but good content for YT
