It’s like a big fruit box at the fruit markets full of watermelons lol The Americans tend to use them more then we do in Australia. They are common for book and media sellers to buy bulk inventory in. Basically a big box on a pallet full of inventory and wrapped around then in plastic.

@@mrststreasures9628 Gaylord: This specific style of box derives its name from the Gaylord Container Corporation, which was based in St. Louis, Missouri, during the first half of the 20th century. This company filed patents for several unique designs. Even though its packaging design innovations left a lasting impression, gaylord boxes are the only containers that still carry the name of this defunct brand. Businesses and farmers came to rely on gaylord boxes for transporting products and fresh produce. This style, which fits on a pallet and usually includes a lid, is still used for these purposes today. The cartons are also referred to by generic terms, including bulk boxes or bulk bins, as well as pallet, skid or tote boxes.

Really great chat. My first job at 15 was as a watercolour print colourist for the leading antique map business in the UK in the 70s. We would colour prints and maps removed from damaged antique books which were then mounted and framed and sold all over the World. Happy times and probably set me on the road to being an online seller too.

He wrote several books about antique maps as well. The business moved to Sheffield Park in Sussex.

This was a fabulous interview - I learned so much! I sell many things, including books, and I do love non barcode books. My parents were going through my grandfathers old storage yesterday and it's chock full of books. They were sending me pictures of some of the books and they were surprised at what I was saying yes or no to. No to the generic history books, but then they told me about a book about graveyards in Rhode Island - I knew that book was going to be good. When I Googled it, the few that were out there sell for over $100. I love finding the books that are on a very specific topic...

I tend to grab the old books without bar codes that the scanners leave behind, using my knowledge, rather than my phone. Thanks for this video, as it is inspiring to see someone who is so successful in this niche.

I started over breakfast and had to force myself to stop to do the post and get my 10 listing's done. The listing's seemed to take forever before I could get back to the vid. I think over the time I have been watching you, you have become a very good interviewer, you seem to be able to get the best out of your subjects. I am certainly watching again to get the most out of it. Thanks for a great vlog.

I am literally GIDDY with excitement to go out sourcing books with all of this new knowledge tucked into my back pocket. I LOVE to deep dive and research interesting new things. A+++ interview Mel - you absolutely nailed this interview, and I'm already loving the content Max posts on his Instagram (I've also enjoyed browsing his store!l)

A gaylord is a big box usually used for fruit. You may see them at the grocery store with watermelons cantaloupe pumpkins ect.

Yes! They are common for book and media sellers in America but not very common here in Australia. Thom gets a lot of Gaylord’s of inventory though. I’ll show one in a Instagram story this week.

Hey Mel. Loving your content of late. Was wondering if you could make a video about having an eBay store vs not having one, and the pros and cons. Have just restarted reselling again and would love to know your views on having an actual store. Cheers.

I enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I also use my eye to scan books. I do have a recommendation for the seller. My laptop is connected to a 55" TV screen I use as a monitor. The laptop is connected to my sound system so I don't have to rely on trying to hear laptop speakers across the room. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse for data entry. I never have to bend forward over a laptop. The keyboard is in my lap. The mouse is on the arm of my leather couch. My scale is on the end table next to me. I always sit laid back against the couch. No back issues. Never any discomfort at all.

I'd love to help with any book queries in the future, @@backfromburnout btw, so don't hold back if you need Aust 2nd hand bricks and mortar retail opinion from someone in the same time zone. Always happy to chat books. Of course Ebay is a *very* different market! You know where to find me though. :7) Also I have some great info on publishers' First Edition identification that I will forward asap. :)
