I have been going to Lifeline Bookfest for years and as a book collector I have never been bothered by booksellers purchasing their stock. There is thousands of books and it’s fantastic to see businesses buying their books from a wonderful grassroots charity rather than some international corporation. I just can’t see what’s not to love! Keep hauling those books! 💪❤

Ok thank you. I always worry the camera footage isn’t straight and I cut peoples heads off lol. It’s just hard to push the trolley, hold the camera, pick the books and price comp on the other phone. I have high expectations on myself and how I want the quality so I always stress the bookfair footage isn’t good enough. I filmed another one a few weeks ago but it had loud music playing so I have to voice over and it will be a bit harder to edit but I’ll get it out soon. Heading to another bookfair tomorrow so will try and film that one :)

First in best dressed, I pay the same as anyone else and buy a lot more which contributes $$$ to the charity which is the aim of the bookfair.

It's so interesting to watch your approach and method. I was inspired (by you!) to try reselling books a few years ago. I went to our annual book fair, which is at a fairground area here. I was definitely overwhelmed and did not pick well at all. Plus the books are very heavy as you said. I might try again next year, now that I have some experience behind me. I am an 'everything' seller still. I do love selling books but not sourcing them.

Book fair shopping is the only 'sport' I play 😂 and I barely worry anymore about the odd looks I get when price comping and stacking up big book piles. I agree, it's certainly exhausting with all that visual overload and trying to quickly price judge by eye or comp on a little screen. Xx
@backfromburnout 10 күн бұрын
Honestly there is so many people there buying up large loads. If people ask me why I’m buying so many I just tell them I’m a dealer. I find they like and react better to the word dealer rather than reseller. The bigger bookfairs like Lifeline welcome resellers. It’s the smaller small town bookfairs that sometimes struggle with the idea of what we do. At the end of the day we’re all just trying to rehome an abundance of unwanted books.

We go to as many Sydney ones as we can but I also have my daughter every second weekend so I don’t travel on those weekends as she doesn’t want to go to them lol

It's a fascinating segment today. I enjoyed watching it. I was surprised you gave the antiquarian section a total pass. There may be little market for antiquarian material in Australia. You did very well today, young lady. :>)

I do look at it but not at the beginning because the books I pick first are by eye and I leave the ones I need to research further to last. I did buy a nice selection of old western books from that section a little later on.

That was fun! What is a roladex? Hahaha. Look at the lens Mel, the lens, we're over here! ;)

A roladex is my memory basically. It's the knowledge and memory that's in my head from research and experience.

Just a suggestion: what if you put an ikea bag (or two if there is room for it) in your trolley and put the books directly in the bag. When you get to your table, you can just lift up the bag on the table. If it gets heavy, you can put two bags on top of each other in your trolley. And it might make the transfer to the car easier too.

This is amazing! Not sure we have anything similar in the UK. I used to donate low value fiction to the local hospital, but since the c19 they won't take any more books sadly. So, we have set up a book exchange in the office

That’s a great idea and way to keep recycling the books with new owners!

Dont you wish you could have one of those scanners that the Amazon USA people used to check the prices of each book!

Thom has one. The problem is the information isn’t as accurate as most reseller in AU don’t enter the barcode number in a listing. So if there is no barcode there is no history to get the solds from. I think I’ve become a better reseller as I have to manually learn and how it in
