At the top of each 8 ft end he screws a 2 x 4 to the top of the shelve and attach it to the wall, if its up against the wall he screws it right to the wall. It’s not pretty but it works lol, I will send you a pic later when I get to the warehouse.
Hi Jay, One quick question, does your new building have a garage door in it? I was thinking about that because that is one thing I love about our warehouse, we are able to accept pallets through the garage door.
MaryI rent the warehouse, I have seen the pictures of the space your building and it’s super exciting! I had a brick and mortar retail clothing store for 6 years and it I’m happy to be out of that business. I think once your space is set up it will be alot easier for all of your inventory.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
MaryHi Jay, We still have about 3000 books in the FBA warehouses and around 4000 Merchant books for us to fulfill so I’m hoping that once everyones prices go up our business will begin to stabilize. For a comparison, last March we sold 780 Books and had $8800 in sales mostly FBA. This March we have sold 139 books with $2000 in sales so far with the same # of units in stock. Yipes! Like every business you need to adjust when facing changes. Ebay has been really busy for us, although our average sale is lower (around 22), so therefore we need to sell volume. We do buy bulk books for $.10/LB so we try to monetize as much as we can from each shipment. The building is our warehouse, it houses 3 other retail businesses and our square footage is 1650, it’s not pretty but it is perfect for us!
Thanks Jay for all you do!
MaryHi Jay & Ryanne!We buy books by the truckload almost weekly, our last load there was a box on a pallet that was loaded with random stuff and alot of housewares. So far we have sold a VTech game system and I just listed 2 sets of china (not complete)from this box. We will end up making approx $450 from that box alone. Our entire truck – 10 boxes cost $768. So yes this was a pleasant surprise!
Thanks for all of your great content!
Mary
