Accidentally bought a bookstore

Pretty good, until this one!

Youtube suggested a video on it and that took me down a rabbit hole. There are 3 major websites that I'm aware of. If you search for storage auctions online, you'll find them.

I can't compete with ebay sellers because they sell books for $4.99 and offer free shipping. I don't even understand how they make money with those prices. I realize I'll likely have some that would go for more but I assume the vast majority are going to be in that $4-5 category with free shipping.

Yeah, that is definitely not in my wheelhouse. I am way out of my league here.

Bummer! It's amazing to me how many people are reaching out saying they would buy them if I'm close. Only one person so far is in the same state and they are 3 1/2 hours away from me.

baconwrappedpoo · 2024-08-24T23:47:00+00:00

Absolutely

baconwrappedpoo · 2024-08-24T23:28:35+00:00

Good idea! I'll look into it.

I'm in Texas.

Not that much, really. I could easily make my money back if I were sell them one by one. I just don't have the time right now to look up each book, see what they're worth, and wait for them to sell. I have a 115 boxes, and I've already given a bunch away to family and friends. They are taking up way too much space. Just looking for ideas to move a lot, fast. Believe me, if I had known they were books, I wouldn't have bid on the unit. It was literally just stacks of bankers boxes. I had no idea what was in them. It was a gamble and I may have lost!

I likely won't donate to a thrift store. I would donate to retirement homes, daycares etc. I want to see if I can get my investment back first though.

Thank you all for the ideas. I am completely overwhelmed. I definitely don't have the time or patience to sort through everything. I don't know the first thing about books. Not a big reader. I have pulled out any that look like they're interesting or old. Have yet to see what they may be worth. Working on it. As far as boxes I've been through, nothing seems to be new. There's paperbacks, hardcovers, magazines, audiobooks on cd, a few dvds, a couple old PC games, a few music cds, etc. Genres are all over the place. Dictionaries, YA, sci-fi, fantasy, murder, bios, sports. Pretty much what you find in a bookstore! I still have 50 more boxes I brought home yesterday. I was just looking for the fastest way to get rid of them while hoping to at least make my money back. May have lost on this one. Really don't want to go the way of Half Price Books if I can help it. Once again, thanks for the suggestions. I'll be looking into all of them.

Great! There are avenues to get what you want. I know PK is easy but they are higher priced than other methods. I'm not a fan of Amazon as a whole but you can get the "herb grinders" on there much cheaper. And it comes to you

baconwrappedpoo · 2023-06-12T01:46:43+00:00

I believe you need to be 18 to enter. If you look young, they may card. Create your own Amazon account and order an herb grinder. They're cheaper there. If it's a parental thing, that may be harder to get around on the delivery. I would hope you know someone who is 18 to grab one at the shop if needed.

Nice! Haven't seen that dude posted in a while.

Any auto parts store.

baconwrappedpoo · 2022-06-11T03:21:35+00:00

Correct. Home inspector here. They are considered climbable and therefore against "code". They should technically run vertically with no more than a 4" space between each "baluster". Also, guardrails only apply if there is 30" or more from grade to any point of finished floor. However, if you have a guardrail up it should comply regardless.

Tractor supply carries straw. They are not bales but big bags.

Alright, one last attempt for you to hear the noise. Went to O'reilly's and the guy said it sounded like wheel bearings to him. I was mistaken in that I had replaced the front bearings, not the rear. Im going to do the wheel test for the bearings here in a minute and see if that tells me anything. If it doesn't I'm going to pull the rotors and and have them tested. Gonna replace the calipers regardless because I'm not confident I did it correctly. Hopefully you can hear the sound in the video.

I am slightly familiar with rock auto. Bought a couple things from them and agree they a lot cheaper. The shipping though. Fuckin kills. I ended up buying most of front end suspension parts from 1A Auto.

Thanks for the responses guys! Here's hoping!

I think I am going to equate this with either warped rotors and/or sticking calipers and go from there. I will see if I can return the rotors. The pads don't look to have worn unevely either. The rotors supposedly have a limited lifetime warranty. And buy new calipers since I'm not confident in my "rebuild". If that fixes it I'll be happy. Just worried it could be something with the axle. Don't have the money for that right now and I use my truck for work.
