Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. Welcome back to I'm Gonna Pack It. I'm Lonnie.

[00:00:04]>> Hey, I'm Candace. Welcome back. We gonna have a quick one for y'all today. Like I think we have 10 items maybe, but like seven orders we're packing. What? The the the crazy pack is already prepacked.

[00:00:16]It's a big book lot.

[00:00:18]>> Yep.

[00:00:18]>> So, uh I see you're changing out your blade there, huh?

[00:00:22]>> Yeah. I don't know if I uh Yeah, I think I'm I think I'm lucky. I think I just get to flip it.

[00:00:29]Yeah, the other side has not been used.

[00:00:32]So, I'm just flipping this turning this blade around. And I'll put my put my thing back together here.

[00:00:42]All right.

[00:00:47]We've been having some odd sales days lately. Like, um we'll have like not bad necessarily, just different, >> sporadic. sporadic, but then we've been having a pretty good many higher dollar sales.

[00:01:01]>> Yep.

[00:01:02]>> Like lately, if we were dependent on the 20 and $30 sales, we'd be hurting cuz like they >> And you know, you know, I was thinking cuz we do we have a lot of that that that lower price stuff in our store, but we talked about a year ago about how we really were going to try to move away from lower price. It's hard though whenever you're an everything seller.

[00:01:21]Oh, it's and when you go to garage sales and there's there's all this stuff that's priced at like 50 cents a dollar, you know, >> right? But we are um kind of actively looking trying to trying to get the more higher dollars >> and we've been successful with that.

[00:01:36]>> Yeah. Mhm.

[00:01:38]>> And it doesn't mean we're going to Well, we also do a lot of books, too. So, that may or may not like >> Right.

[00:01:44]>> You know, books books and high dollar unless you do sets like this. Um, well, even then we we found some high dollar books as well, so >> Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:01:56]>> We're always trying to improve our inventory, though.

[00:02:00]Okay. Yeah. Look, it's it's completely ready to roll.

[00:02:04]Just going I'm going to tape it up real good.

[00:02:10]Man, whenever you list things, you probably like, I really don't want to pack right now, but whenever it comes time to uh send them out. Oh, it was man. It was a lot of work.

[00:02:20]>> Yeah, >> but it would only Well, we got all the books up within two days. Day and a half maybe. I don't know. It wasn't long. It was easy.

[00:02:30]>> Got to love sell similar, huh?

[00:02:32]>> Yeah.

[00:02:40]>> We're taking a little field trip today.

[00:02:43]>> Yeah, we're planning on it. We're going to um >> the clock doctor.

[00:02:48]>> We were we were going to do it last week, several days, and then one of the days we ended up going to go pick these books up. I think we were going to do it that day.

[00:02:58]>> We were going to go that day and we got the phone call to get these books. Yeah.

[00:03:01]>> And then we had another time where we were going to go on Friday and then we're like, "Oh, they're closed on Friday."

[00:03:07]>> Yeah.

[00:03:08]>> And their open hours are like pretty limited as well. They're only open like 11:30 to 3.

[00:03:14]>> Yeah, like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 11:30 to 3. So, yeah, we have to try to fit it in our schedule.

[00:03:21]>> It must be like a single like one person that does all the work >> and they basically have those hours for drop offs and pickups more or less >> probably. So, so then they can just work in the off hours, you know, >> un uninterrupted.

[00:03:34]Yep.

[00:03:35]>> I get that.

[00:03:36]>> That keeps their overhead low or whatever. And when you're the only gig in town, pretty much you can dictate.

[00:03:42]>> That's right. That's true.

[00:03:44]>> All righty. 29 >> 29 lbs. It's 7. I would probably go ahead and buy this on a pirate ship.

[00:03:50]>> Okay, let me get it pulled open.

[00:03:52]>> It's 17 1311 29 lb cuz you're probably going to want to go I don't know though.

[00:04:00]Look at all the shipping options obviously.

[00:04:02]>> Yeah, >> but it's probably going to be if it is media mail, then we definitely need to buy in, you know, the $2 of insurance on pirate ship.

[00:04:14]>> It's It's close to ground on eBay. So, I think pirate ship.

[00:04:17]>> How close is it?

[00:04:18]>> Like really like with less than a dollar. So, I think Oh, really?

[00:04:21]>> I think UPS on pirate ship is going to be our winner.

[00:04:24]>> Okay.

[00:04:25]>> I I'd be willing to bet.

[00:04:27]>> Really?

[00:04:27]>> Yeah. She don't say that too often.

[00:04:30]>> I know cuz all week UPS ground has been cheap on pirate shipw watch. They probably changed it last night.

[00:04:39]>> Got some uh magic dove bags here.

[00:04:43]>> Magic tree.

[00:04:52]>> Yeah. One thing we've still yet to use, y'all, is um pirate ship insurance. We haven't had we we bought it. We haven't ever made a claim on it. We haven't had an opportunity to yet.

[00:05:03]>> Yeah.

[00:05:04]>> Which is not a bad thing.

[00:05:08]All righty.

[00:05:12]253.

[00:05:19]>> What is it? What's story? It's like 30 cents cheaper for UPS ground.

[00:05:24]>> Well, we should do it then. As long as >> I mean, compared to eBay, it it's still it's comparable to media mail, and I feel better.

[00:05:32]>> What? Media Mail? Oh, it's 20 cents more than media mail, but then you get the insurance for $100, >> right? And better service.

[00:05:39]>> Oh, and yeah. Okay. Yeah. But using UPS ground, I don't even feel the need to add extra insurance.

[00:05:45]>> No, I don't either.

[00:05:46]>> So, okay, good.

[00:05:49]All right. So, yeah, I'm happy. I'm actually very happy those books >> are going UPS.

[00:05:54]>> Me, too.

[00:05:56]>> Little peace of mind.

[00:05:58]>> Some of y'all might disagree with that opinion.

[00:06:04]I can respect that.

[00:06:07]I'm just basing it on our anecdotal results that we got out there.

[00:06:15]>> Thought I heard a big truck. Oh, I need your uh fingerprint.

[00:06:21]>> Oh, >> the computer does this sometimes.

[00:06:29]>> You could go in with a password instead, but it would require uh it would require um what do you call that?

[00:06:40]>> Typing.

[00:06:41]>> No, not that.

[00:06:43]>> Fine.

[00:06:43]>> Uh two factor.

[00:06:44]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:47]It's easier just to do a fingerprint.

[00:06:56]I need to make a pressing of my fingerprint and you could put like a fake little silicone finger with my fingerprint on it like on a keychain.

[00:07:05]>> Oh, like Mission Impossible type stuff.

[00:07:07]>> Yeah, something like that. That'd be kind of weird, huh?

[00:07:11]>> Yeah.

[00:07:18]I love thing. I love fingerprint authentication. Um, anytime I can open up an account or something with my face, any of that. Isn't that a Isn't that stuff awesome?

[00:07:31]>> I see. I have a problem with my face recognition. I think because my hair color is always changing. But let's >> add You can add more faces, though.

[00:07:42]>> Can you?

[00:07:42]>> Uh-huh. I did.

[00:07:44]>> I have to go in and look it up.

[00:07:45]>> I I ended up because I had to add other profiles based on glasses/nog glasses.

[00:07:52]>> Yeah, mine like very rarely will it work.

[00:07:58]>> I used to have that problem until I did what I told you.

[00:08:00]>> Yeah, to do that. You would think that the hair color wouldn't matter.

[00:08:06]I don't know.

[00:08:13]You probably just need to redo it with better.

[00:08:15]>> Yeah.

[00:08:18]>> All right.

[00:08:21]>> Okay. Got a PopMart thing here.

[00:08:28]>> See, I do hear a big truck then.

[00:08:30]>> Huh?

[00:08:32]>> Oh, USPS is here. USPS, come help me.

[00:08:36]>> Okay.

[00:08:36]>> Grab all of these boxes here or >> Okay. Surprise. There we um that that almost never happens.

[00:08:46]Bad weather today and USPS actually showed up before 11:00.

[00:08:54]>> Never does that. However, we're kind of a day ahead on packing since we have two day handling. So, it's good.

[00:09:00]>> We had one of our one of our packages that needed to go out today and it made it >> those magic dove bag things. So, we're good. Yeah, we're fine.

[00:09:11]>> Which I'm not mad at since we're going to be leaving. The packages are already out and we don't have to worry about them getting picked up.

[00:09:18]>> Oh, no. I'm not mad at that either.

[00:09:20]>> So, it worked out.

[00:09:24]>> It was just kind of surprising.

[00:09:26]>> Yeah.

[00:09:29]>> Shoot. They usually don't show up in USPS hadn't been showing up anytime before like >> I know. That's pretty crazy.

[00:09:39]She must be uh trying to get out a really or something.

[00:09:43]>> She probably ran her route backwards for some reason this morning.

[00:09:46]>> Yeah.

[00:09:47]>> Okay. This is a PopMart thing right here. Okay.

[00:09:49]>> These are the Jug Head Archie books book lot. Do not go media meal.

[00:09:57]>> Right.

[00:10:00]These are awesome. I wish I would have read them.

[00:10:03]I just didn't I just didn't have time.

[00:10:09]Plus, it's probably one of those things where I'd probably start reading them and be like, "Oh, I can't read this anymore."

[00:10:18]>> Yeah. You read one and you're like, "Okay, I get it."

[00:10:20]>> Yeah. Or I don't know. Or it might unlock some nostalgia. I might read them all. I don't know.

[00:10:28]I'm not 10 years old anymore.

[00:10:31]I remember when I was like I started out reading um like Richie Rich.

[00:10:38]>> Oh, I loved Richie.

[00:10:39]>> Remember those?

[00:10:40]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:10:41]>> That's where I started out. Richie Rich and Casper and >> they didn't grade Casper.

[00:10:49]>> Hot Stuff >> the Devil. Remember him?

[00:10:52]>> I have a t-shirt with him one.

[00:10:54]>> Yeah, you do.

[00:10:55]>> Uhhuh. But you know that whole line, they had a whole line. And then that's when I was like I was probably reading those when I was like seven years old.

[00:11:04]>> Yeah.

[00:11:04]>> And then once I got up to like maybe 10 years old, then I I started reading some Archie as well. So And then I got into that and I was like, "Oh, well this is how teenagers are." That's what I You know what I mean? I was like, "Oh, that's what being a teenager is like is Archie." Okay, I got it.

[00:11:25]>> Got it.

[00:11:28]And sometimes it kind of was like that, honestly. But, you know, not like not quite like that though.

[00:11:34]>> That must have been teenagers in the 50s.

[00:11:37]>> Not our teenagers.

[00:11:39]>> No. Remember I did have a jalapy though, just like Archie did.

[00:11:44]>> Little piece of junk car.

[00:11:46]His was like from His was like a a Model A or something. I don't know what he had.

[00:11:52]>> Yeah, it was a jalapy. Like when you picture the word jalapy, that's what it was.

[00:11:56]>> I think that's where most of us learn the word jilapy from is where else do you see jalapy, >> right?

[00:12:12]But you I remember I was a kid and I would go to um every Saturday I would go I would go with my mother to go grocery shopping on Saturdays like Saturday mornings.

[00:12:28]>> Uhhuh.

[00:12:32]And I would every time she would get me one of those digests >> right by the checkout.

[00:12:37]>> At the checkout.

[00:12:38]>> Yep.

[00:12:43]>> That was that was the big highlight for me or one of my big highlights is getting those uh digests. And I had and Richie Rich had the digest as well.

[00:12:57]>> Yep.

[00:12:58]I think that might be the same publisher, Richie Rich and Archie. I don't know, >> probably. So, I would imagine that whole little genre, you know.

[00:13:10]>> Yeah.

[00:13:14]You know, you know what Archie was kind of like? Happy Days.

[00:13:17]>> Yeah.

[00:13:18]>> And including the spin-offs and stuff like you had Josie and the Pussycats and Sabrina the Teenage Witch and >> Yeah.

[00:13:35]that series you watched, Riverdale.

[00:13:38]>> I didn't finish it, but it's a it's like a a a modernday Archie. In fact, I mean, it is Archie like the characters are named or named them and stuff, but it's it's set in modern times.

[00:13:50]>> So, do did is that officially licensed or whatever, you think?

[00:13:54]>> It has to be.

[00:13:55]>> It has to be, right?

[00:13:56]>> Yeah. Cuz even the Jug Head character, he wore like a um beanie kind of cap that had like shape. Not as dramat, not as cartoonish, just more modern looking, you know. But yeah, I know.

[00:14:07]>> Nobody ever really questioned the fact that Jug Head wore a crown every day.

[00:14:10]>> I know. I don't know what the origin of that is, if it was ever addressed.

[00:14:16]Is it a Burger King crown? Cuz he likes to eat hamburgers.

[00:14:21]>> I don't know.

[00:14:26]That's just weird to me because wasn't that more of an adult type show?

[00:14:30]Riverdale.

[00:14:32]>> Not really. More teen. Uh, >> it was. Yeah.

[00:14:36]>> Okay. I didn't know.

[00:14:37]>> No. More teen. Uh, >> so it it makes sense that they would sell the rights like that. So it wasn't like anything. So it's all PG kind of stuff.

[00:14:46]>> Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, you know, or PG-13, you know, like the older teenage, younger Okay. young adult crowd is who I think they were aiming at.

[00:14:56]>> When did Archie Here's a question. When did When did Archie uh start? Must have been in like probably the 30s or 40s, huh? Probably 40s.

[00:15:07]>> You think that long ago?

[00:15:08]>> Yeah, I do.

[00:15:10]>> Oh, I assumed it was like the 60s.

[00:15:12]>> Maybe it is. I don't know though.

[00:15:14]>> Let me look.

[00:15:20]>> I know. Prime Time. Oh, you are right.

[00:15:22]What is it? 1941.

[00:15:24]>> Wow. Before World War II, >> Archie Andrews first appeared in Pep Comics number 22, which was published in December 1941.

[00:15:33]Following the success of the character, a self-titled series, Archie Comics was officially published in 1942.

[00:15:40]>> Wow.

[00:15:42]>> I assumed it was after the 50s just cuz that's kind of how the feel.

[00:15:45]>> Oh, yeah. We go to the sock hop, you know, kind of Yeah. Yeah.

[00:16:13]All right. Mung bean.

[00:16:17]All right. Got a u thick book here.

[00:16:28]probably just use a 1210 for I would also go the the other place we would go is the book exchange on Saturday.

[00:16:44]>> Yeah.

[00:16:45]>> And um >> for your mom to trade in her harlequins.

[00:16:48]she would trade in her romance novels or whatever and get new ones and then I would that's that's where I would get the um like I liked the Peanuts books and like BC.

[00:17:10]Um who else?

[00:17:15]a bunch of different ones actually. You know, just like the little paperbacks, all all those old com a lot of those comic strip characters have paperback book versions.

[00:17:24]>> Yeah, >> I didn't I never really like DC comics.

[00:17:35]>> No, I said BC.

[00:17:36]>> That's what I meant.

[00:17:42]>> What else?

[00:17:43]>> DC is superhero. DC is >> BCave before Christ.

[00:17:47]>> Yeah.

[00:17:52]>> Trying to remember some of the other books cuz man, I had a I had quite the collection >> with any kind of sci-fi at that age or did you get into that later?

[00:18:01]>> I got into sci-fi in about sixth grade or so. I start my dad kind of broke me in on sci-fi. I started reading that.

[00:18:09]>> Yeah.

[00:18:10]>> Like that's when I Yeah. when I was about I think when I was about 11 years old.

[00:18:17]But I was doing all all of it at the same time, too.

[00:18:20]>> Yeah.

[00:18:21]>> Avid. I was Man, I was an avid avid reader.

[00:18:32]That's when I got hooked on all the Robert Hind.

[00:18:38]I was into more girl stuff like Sweet Valley High and uh Nancy Drew mysteries, stuff like that.

[00:18:46]>> Yeah, >> I did like the Archie comics though. I don't I don't think I was as into them as you were, but I I would read them.

[00:18:54]I >> mean, it wasn't like like that big of a deal, you know? It wasn't that huge of a part of my life, but it was it was a big it was part >> like I wasn't known as a kid that was the Archie reader or anything. walk around with you.

[00:19:14]>> I know. I think about uh our daughter Molly when she was in elementary school.

[00:19:18]She constantly read like the librarian told me her and her best friend would walk around literally reading books.

[00:19:25]They would walk and on recess they would sit on a bench and read. Like all they did was read. And now she like never reads.

[00:19:32]>> Yeah.

[00:19:32]>> So odd to me.

[00:19:33]>> Makes sense. I think that's just how the world is now.

[00:19:37]>> I think a lot of it was because they got rewarded for their little AR points, you know, >> and her and her best friend always had the top and they were kind of competitive with each other, I think, you know. So, >> is this the last thing?

[00:19:54]>> Yep.

[00:19:55]>> Yeah, this is pretty quick.

[00:19:56]>> It's going ground advantage.

[00:19:57]>> Okay.

[00:19:59]Oh, I wonder if that'll fit in um a shoe box.

[00:20:07]I haven't been We didn't have the shoe boxes for quite a while, so I hadn't been really thinking in that mode.

[00:20:13]>> Yeah, >> I think it might be about the right size.

[00:20:16]>> The box is already trashed.

[00:20:19]>> Let's see. Actually, yeah, this is a good size. And then we don't use our own box, too.

[00:20:24]>> Yeah.

[00:20:37]Okay. Well, we're going to the >> clock doctor.

[00:20:41]>> The clock doctor.

[00:20:42]>> We may see about getting some jewelry uh checked out for gold, too.

[00:20:56]I just don't know if the jewelry store is going to be the best place to do that.

[00:21:00]>> Yeah, >> but I I don't know where to go.

[00:21:04]>> No, >> I feel like the jewelry store is going to give a crappy price.

[00:21:16]Maybe I'm I hope I'm wrong.

[00:21:18]>> Or are they going to try to charge us to even test it? Well, if they do that, then we're leaving cuz that that's >> Yeah.

[00:21:28]>> I feel like our little local jeweler jeweler here in town wouldn't >> I don't know.

[00:21:36]>> They've cleaned our rings. They clean our rings for free.

[00:21:39]>> Are they going to recognize you when you walk in?

[00:21:41]>> Probably not. I've only been there probably twice in the last 3 years.

[00:21:45]>> Okay.

[00:21:50]Although, uh, there is a ring that needs to be resized. Maybe if we end up deciding to go there, bring it the same time we bring that if we're already giving them some work.

[00:21:59]>> Oh, no. I want to go there.

[00:22:00]>> Yeah.

[00:22:01]>> No, there's actually there's several things I want to do. I want to go We got another thing we've already got to do. And then we got to then, I want to go to the clock doctor. I want to go get the gold checked out.

[00:22:16]Um, I need to get an oil change.

[00:22:18]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:22:20]>> Got to do that. And, um, let's see what else.

[00:22:25]>> Yeah, we're going to be out for a while.

[00:22:26]Yep. So, >> yep. That's it for this one, y'all.

[00:22:29]Thanks so much for watching and we will see y'all again very soon. Might be next week, I think, at this point. So, bye y'all.

[00:22:36]>> Bye.
