    something to bear in mind is that you can part out pieces when the item is broken. A good example of this, I bought a bread machine at a garage sale for $5 to resell that didnt run. But I sold the pan for $15 and the mixing paddle sold for $18. Personally I would never do a pallet as they tend be way overpriced and require a lot of work as you discovered. Garage sales and thrift stores (if done with know how, there are a lot of great youtubers that help you out) can be fun and profitable

    If you sell some of them on EBAY put new in box. Also make the customer pay for shipping, but if you include it in the price, make your price higher to include shipping. I sell items on EBAY. I suggest you take photos of the items out of the box because folks might try to rip you off like they did Amazon with the Microwave. Good luck! I agree with another comment about this being a bad time of year to sell stuff - after Christmas and before folks get tax refunds. I used to work retail also.. :)

    Some eBay tips:
    * Selling on eBay widens your market to an international level! More potential buyers can mean more competition for your items (e.g. higher prices during item auctions) or faster selling times.
    * While shipping can be annoying, you can set up your item listing to be "local pick up only," just like Facebook Marketplace.
    * You don't need to pay for shipping necessarily. You can have the buyer pay for the shipping, so they can choose how much they want to pay for shipping.
    * You can use the search filters on the website to find out how much previous items have sold for recently. This is a more reliable way of price-checking the resale value of any item, instead of a simple percentage of MSRP.
    * You may think that you can't sell broken things, but there's still a market for repairable items or items that can be scavenged for parts. The biggest repair market on eBay is smartphone repair.
    * Keep in mind that there are listing and selling fees associated. Fortunately, the listing fees are waived for the first 200 items listed each month. The selling fee still exists, so you may want to include that in your selling prices to recoup your profit.

    Hi guys. Sorry but your doing wrong. You have to go and sell it at the flee market. Try to find a large flee market that also sells new stuff. People are making anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 in one day selling. Trust me

      Ahh interesting! Flee markets don't happen in the winter around here, but I could definitely see how that would work.

    Have you thought of using Pirate Ship shipping? It cus out the middle man and shipping through the post office and UPS is a lot cheaper than using directly. You can have the post office pick up when they drop off your mail at no cost. I have used this for over two years and it's the best.

    Do you guys think in the future you'll try furniture flipping that has more restoration aspects? Like sanding down and re-staining a dresser/night stands or painting something? Would love to see how much you guy could make off that and if the profit is worth the time! I recently picked up a free velvet granny rocker/recliner chair to rip the skirt off to flip but the base has a wooden circle attached to it...so it may be more work that your flips. Worth a shot anyway!

    My tips for flipping pallets: 1. Avoid the jungle website returns. 2. Never buy untested customer returns for more then 25% of retail delivered. 3. Assume you will average 45% of retail on items you sell. 4. Be patient

    $496 is good profit. Most retailers only make 4% to 5% profit on each item. Doesn't matter how much you work to sell it. if you don't have any other job or income you are doing well enjoy the videos

    Hey guys! Liked & Subscribed! FB has a new algorhythm, even I have noticed sales on FB have changed. I even wrote to them about it. FYI, you can sell damaged items / broken microwaves etc. If you list on ebay what u found wrong with it & it's a "Parts ONLY" sale, you will be surprised what ppl buy for parts!

    This may not be related to this video because you are on autoplay over here! 😆 ...but you both are so creative! Do you have room to make and store a "backdrop" for your furniture items that are too heavy to bring inside? I have seen so many artistic ideas using PVC piping with a multitude of textures that may work for a good staged photo. 😊

    As far as shipping, I have seen other Ebay resellers use Pirate Ship which can be mailed out by USPS. It is supposed to be cheaper so maybe you can check them out as well but maybe those items may be a little heavy.

    I like your content!! This is what I do. Most people who have no idea how to fix items, or how to trouble shoot items should not do this. Also, it's an okay side gig but keep in mind how many hours it takes to list, pack, ship, ebay fees, or meet people to sell local.
