Tom’s a great guy! Everyone needs a Tom.
I couldn’t agree more. 😂
He is a great guy and he’s done a lot for me. I’m very grateful.
He's hilarious
All we need is love 🎶 ❤
Fo real I got stuck with a Tyler 😆
Would love to see an update on how some sales go from this one!
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.
Tom needs to be a permanent feature in your videos. Everyone needs a Tom in their life! #teamtom
Congratulations to Tom for getting Mel to keep going to the end! 🤣😂😅
Ba ha ha
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 😭
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.
And ate the snakes
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!
I wanted to leave then lol Especially as Thom flicked it off so it was not to be seen anymore! Lol
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.
Tom is really stepping up for you. Awesome guy! Good your son helped yo
He sure has. What a great man.
I love Tom’s snarky attitude!
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
Tom’s a great Bloke! Smart, funny and keeps you in line! Enjoy the banter! ❤😂
Thank you!!
Love seeing you and Tom working together! He’s amazing
He’s done so much for me and I’m very grateful to have him helping me so much x
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 💕
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.
Bravo! It is a military rifle cleaning kit and an old (1954) multi tool with can opener etc.
ah yes my arab friend told me he had a .303 i think
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. :)
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. 👍
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!
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.
Mega thanks to Riley and Thom for helping you. Great guys.
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.
My very first large book haul was last month, 800+ vintage Cookbooks in a dark, dirty basement. Still sorting it, ..what was I thinking??
Hahaha, Tom. "You gonna do this with every single book? Huh" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 get back to work Mel lol.
My Dad had a teledex lying around the house. It was fun moving the lever when I was a kid.
Can’t wait To see an update of what sells by you and Tom from that trailer.
I’ll be sure to update!
Toms is a great guy and your son is precious!
I HATE coming across so many books with so much rodent damage. It's gross and also sad to see.
Thank you Tom and your Son for helping great job
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.
Some of Tom's expressions are cracking me up. You are mighty lucky having those two helping you.
Couldnt agree more. Such a character.
He’s a great guy ❤️
I love that your son is wearing a Chicago Bulls shirt! 🇺🇸
He loves basketball! It’s his dream to travel to America to watch the NBA
Tom is really awesome! Tell him to Start a UA-cam channel, I'd love too see more of his store
He is so busy with his massive store and he sees how much time this takes me.
LMAOOOOO.....I really enjoy Tom! Yes, he can come off a bit grouchy, but I like him!
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.
It’s like an episode of Storage Wars
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
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!!
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"!
Okay so that video is now one of my favourites. Always up for anything aren't you Mel!! So good
I sure am! I don’t always love it but I’ll give anything a try!
I watched the whole video. Really enjoy the long work day videos. No talk-Shipping is still my favorite “white noise machine”
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
Those boxes of slides could be a gold mine.... and the wallets full of pictures too...
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😊
Thank you. Riley did great and Thom has helped me so much over the last few months I’m so very grateful.
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!!!
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
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!
I really enjoyed watching this video, it has given me a great laugh. Tom is great for helping. Please keep the longer videos coming 🙏🏼
Thank you for the feedback as I wasn’t sure if this would be too long.
This is fantastic, I really appreciate long unedited videos.
Thank you for watching. I was worried it might be too long. X
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.
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.
I have opportunities with Thom to increase space if needed. We will see how we go for a while. :)
@@backfromburnout LOL you're building a damn empire! Mel's Mammoth Miscellanea. Don't you just love alliteration? Since Amazon doesn't want used books, you'll be Australian Amazon! You have the gift. What you truly desire, you put out to the universe and you receive it. The Law of Attraction, which I know you believe in. You're unstoppable. 📚📚📚📚📚
I've sold those Teledex things before - could be a good find... (Nic here on other account)
Too funny listening to your reactions 😊. Lovely collection of books and animals 🤣
I love ratting around in old barns and containers but that was next level with the scorpions - great vid Mel
10x update: after only having 1-3 sales the first couple days, I've been pleasantly surprised by having 6-9 sales the last couple days! I haven't exactly followed the 10x rules, but I have listed about 100 items this week and only have another 30 or so in my death pile! I may just clear my death pile before vacation next week after all! Plus the sales boost is huge since I won't be working for a month!
Amazing!!!! I’ll update in the next couple of videos!
I would gladly take everything in that container, less the spider and scorpion. Great finds.
I hope I have some great books here!
Put all boxes of books in black garbage bags before they go into the warehouse. Open one at a time Outside so all of your lovely Australian critters can escape Outside not inside. Gloves are a necessity when dealing with these boxes of books. What an adventure!!!
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 😂
I feel for I worked at an auction and set up every week you would not believe the stuff I’ve seen. So I can truly emphasize with you.. That dead ones smell but the live one is really scary..
So much work. Excited to see what all you end up pulling out of this haul.
Me too! Kinda lol
You definitely don't want to bring critters back to your warehouse. Inspect carefully!
I will be thoroughly going through them
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!
I’ll be discarding boxes and sorting as fast as possible!
That tin you found at around the 40 minute mark looks like a weapon cleaning kit.
So interesting! Maybe it is!
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😂💜💜💜
You are all such hard workers, your kids included! They learned from the best
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
Did you figure out what the "cigar clippers" are? I suspect they might be instruments for a mohel.
😅 I think I have OCD. I would have worked my way outside in rather than inside out and randomly in the shipping container
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.
The vintage Teledex are worth some good money.. they will help to cover a big part of your costs..
They should be great!
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! 🔥 🐀
Free haul - cost of the van rental rest is sweat equity and favors owed. I think Riley liked digging - don't you?
@@mrststreasures9628 and time/opportunity cost
I used to live a few streets away from Salisbury Cathedral, lovely place!
“Did you just lick that!?” 😂 love Tom, he gives off strong big brother vibes 💪
Mystery of the unknown. Looks like fun.
I can only imagine the moisture damage 😢 good on the lads for helping. Don't burn them out!
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.
So yucky!
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 😊
Love watching this I have been in similar situations FYI slide are worth money especially if 1950-1960 don’t throw them out I buy them all the time at sales
Wow, those slides and photos could bring serious money! Definitely worth trying to find out who put them there
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!
8:53 - Use Google Lens. Not only could it possibly ID the book it can translate languages.
Oh sell the teledex I am really tempted to buy one.
I completely forgot they existed.
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.
Tom is definitely the MVP of this haul. Mel your definitely a Library Bazaar kinda gal. LoL
I felt like I needed to take a shower after watching this one, Mel.😂😂😂
that folio Byzantium boxset goes for 60-100 in the UK 👍 (i know your in Australia but still epic find) great haul
Woo hoo!!
That's a HUGE haul! Phew! Free is nice too--even though it's not totally free, like you said.
Mel, you are all in on the book game. Wow. This is great content though. I would have arrived with my own clean empty boxes and cherry-picked the stuff that looked eBay-worthy. Everything else would go in the trash trailer.
You owe Tom another beer.
I should have done that yes. Next time I find a haul like this I will do that. I’ll be getting these empty as fast as possible to clear all those boxes fast
An extinguisher and lighter would have come in handy so as not to carry the rubbish out.
I'm guessing the wheels weren't round when you departed the block.
Hard work & dedication
loving the regular content Mel! from Scotland😊
OMG Teledex!!! Yes GOLD! I remember them!
Looking forward to your update after this! I hope you found some real treasures after this disgusting adventure.
I wish I'd have found that box full of the protocols!
I’m not even sure what box that is lol.
Oh Mel you do get into some pickles. I hope you find some good books to sell in your haul. Nice to see the kangaroo in the outback. Looks a lot hotter there than in the UK. You were brave with all the wildlife in that container. ❤
I don't know how you do it Mel! Lucky you are young and strong!
I wish I was young! I’m about to turn 47 lol
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!
Thom flicked it on the ground!!
I used to live in Idmiston, a small village in Salisbury, before I moved to Spain in 2003.
I'm from Cheyenne, WY. I love your videos. You inspire me to do this type of ebay business. I'm still in the planning stage, but I wonder if I could pick your brain sometime? One thing I would like to pass on from my years of experience is to use smaller boxes to save your back. Your body will thank you when you're 60 or 70 years old. God bless you, Tom, and Riley. P.S. Buy Tom a steak dinner. He deserves it. Dona V.
Thank you so much. I definitely owe him a meal or two ❤️
Love seeing your son wearing a Chicago Bulls tshirt! I’m from a town just West of Chicago!
His fave team is OKC Thunder but he is basketball crazy. It’s his dream to come to America to watch the NBA.
This is like finding a masivive hall of Vax records you hate the fact same record s would be damidged or lost 😢 is sad but it happen s pending to how the stuff s bean left .great job Tom. Rylie can not wight Mell to cee how much are .good value ... 😊🤞🤞🤞
That cathedral is in the UK.
Oooh! What was that set of navy blue books with the gold trim and whatnot?
A lot of good-looking assets mixed in there!
They were Islamic books I think in a foreign language. But they looked really nice!
@@backfromburnout Cool! Thanks for the info! :)
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 👍
I hate creepy crawlys. Get them away from me fast! Lol
I feel your pain, we just recently bought a couple of storage units from an online auction and I couldn't believe the stuff we found. 😳🤢
You are blessed with the help indeed. I love the sarcasm. 😂 I love watching your videos, I am brand new to reselling. You are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the smiles, tips n tricks and down to earth attitude.
Furs & skins, that is funny. I am from Montana and that is something I am very familiar with. 🤣
Thank you so much!!
Hahaha oh Mel you are my favourite UA-camr I just love your videos Tom is such a character a dry sense of humour and you son is a Lovely young man looks just like you what a crew I watched it this morning and I am still laughing. You are the best what you see is what you get and I love it. Looking forward to the next video. Your daughter is also a lovely young girl you have a precious family. Cheers Tricia.
Oh thank you so much that’s such a lovely message. I appreciate you watching xx
