      It took me around 5 hours. The time consuming part is 2nd & Charles I can only take 3 bins a day so I had to go 5 days in a row with 3 bins. The damaged/donate books took 2 trunk loads to the donation bins by me.

    For me this is your best video. Thank you. I sell on EBay and Amazon MF and have run out of space in my house. I am thinking about a storage unit, but I am worried about having a non climate controlled unit to store books for a long period of time. It looks like you are using your storage unit for staging only. Do you store any books in your storage unit for a long period of time and do the books do ok. I know that you are thinking about Amazon MF because of your restrictions from Amazon. Will you use your storage unit for long term storage of books? Thanks again for all of your videos!

    • @TheUsedBookGuy
      @TheUsedBookGuy  2 роки тому

      I will be storing everything I have listed both on Amazon MF and eBay in the unit. Precautions I am taking is Polybag the old antique books once listed. I also have a unit that is not in direct sunlight and for the most part is in a great position. I know that sounds silly but the temperature fluctuations can cause damage so I would get a unit that gets sun at the very end of the day or the very beginning of the morning if possible. Also hold out for a cheap price on a unit, I should have gotten a unit months ago but held out and got a good deal on mine.

    Another good one, Mike! Love these ride along vids. Also, definitely agree with have a plan! I have a book funnel of sorts for my bulk buys. At the top of the funnel is the immediate decision to FBA or trash it (if it's unusable/salvageable). If the book doesn't go to FBA (or into the garbage), then it runs thru the funnel to see if it's profitable on other platforms or venues. With the very last stop in the funnel being the donation bin.

    • @TheUsedBookGuy
