I don’t buy & sell, I find & sell. In my apartment complex people are always leaving stuff at the dumpster, I just bring it home & flip it! It’s not a lot of money at all but I get a little dough while connecting things that almost went into the land fill with the people who need them.
Exactly! No vagueness, no bs, like "you have to change your mindset and blahblah". Just straight to the point, basically buy low, sell high. Sure, nothing new and old as age but I appreciate in a vagueness polluted internet, where no one gives concrete advises and just talks around the bush all the time, someone just being real and talking about actually making money instead of mental masturbating about some woowoo concepts, that never are translatable into real action.
I’m terrible at selling. I usually just want to get rid of stuff, that I sell it cheap. I know a couple of people that can flip products and I admire you all. Keep up the good work.
I’m that lazy sucker that sells stuff at a ridiculous price because I am impatient to get it out of the house! I am fully aware that people might resell it, I just can’t be bothered… until this video!!! Lol I might be more patient now! Thanks Nicole!
Cool! I found 20 bucks years ago and went to the pub and got trashed, met my wife and had 2 kids and put them both through college and it cost me about 100k just for schools! So can go both ways 😂
its funny how school cost so much in USA, but also the level of of education kids get is so low... in europe itsalmost free, i paid 450€ (550$) A YEAR for my university studies :p
I had a similar start up. I had £30 & brought 10 plain white t-shirts. I got out my paints & did some stencil designs. They all sold for £10 each. 300% profit on everything I repeated the process for years. It quickly got to 500 t-shirt sales per week & evolved to other clothing. The best days of my life. 😊
hey i’d really like to ask 2 questions from your experienced sales opinion How did you find people? In conclusion did you ever do think to do marketing online for an audience before releasing your startup?
Like you, I flipped a bunch of stuff over two years time and bought the Jeep I always wanted. It wasn't new, but it wasn't old either. Paid $29,000 cash. I still have it. And it was all made possible from flipped items.
@@izziiebabee BIG TIP! When you are selling an item and they make you an offer for less - JUST SAY NO! Come up with a reason why it is worth the money you are offering it for and shut up. Don't say a word...Let them talk next. They either can walk away, or say I'll take it. If you've had a hard time selling it and don't want to lose this buyer and they chose to walk away, that's where you can offer a small discount for them to take it now. Often a tiny discount will make them feel like they "won" and they'll buy it. You can also say you have several other interested potential buyers, but they were the first to contact you so you contacted them first to buy it.
My son when he was 14 convinced me to drive him to this guys house to buy a chainsaw...my son had never used one before. He bought it for $50...resold it the next day for $100. He then did this with computers and iphones all the time. He is older now and doesn't do this but it really opened my eyes.
Wow, I love watching your new videos and seeing how you are exactly the same authentic self even when you first got started. Great job Nicole! It’s crazy how we all get started.
I used to flip from thrift to ebay. And I can tell you that there are amazing deals out there. I bought 2 books one time at the thrift store. Not first editions, nothing special. Sold 1 for $125 and the other for $400. Multiple dress shoes for $5 into $100+, etc. It really blows my mind what you can find.
Thanks Nicole for bringing this to folks attention. You’re brilliant for niching down with flipping. I used to go to estate sale auctions. I had to learn about soooo many things, mostly antique like quilts, old cookie jars and silverware was what i learned to concentrate on. It got me through some tough times. My neighbor used to go to warehouse auctions and buy huge boxes of kids clothing (new w/“tags) and then sort them into sizes and put together little school or play outfits and small wardrobe combos. These sold very well on Ebay. Hope this helps someone.
I started selling on eBay because I would find really cool items secondhand. I spent a lot of time researching things. Like, a lot a lot. I learned that this advice is very true, start with what you know. For some things, knowing about an item takes a lifetime of knowledge. Like coin collecting. Or stamps. Dolls. Etc. I sell mostly jewelry now. Because it's always been one of my favorite things and it's SMALL.
I got a box of industrial equipment from a russian guy in a flea market. Most of those New Old Stock things. Bought the whole box for $50, made about 3k proffit.
30 years ago my mom needed extra income, she’d go to all the garage sales and buy a bunch of stuff, then take the stuff to the swap meet, and sell the stuff double or triple and made a nice profit
Girl!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣I love this. I’ve pulled stuff like old Furniture from the trash, refurbished it, sometimes just wiped it down and sold it!!! For ALoT!!! 😅so much fun!
you have a wonderful personality, I reallly enjoyed this video, you kept saying I know that's not much but then you bought yourself a car and you kept saying I know this isn't much, it's great.
Thanks for sharing. I also flip as a side hustle. I started with extra stuff I had around the house. Then I started buying stuff at thrift stores and selling for a profit. I have made thousands over the last 4 years by just listing 5-10 things a week. What worked well: furnitures, xmas tree stands, curtains and rods, small electronics, small appliances, wood outdoor furniture (I just do a quick sand and stain), outdoor tools, snow boots, large baby items like minikitchen or slide, lego/tous/kids bikes, snow pants, kids floating jackets, boardgames.
Yes! Please make more flipping videos! Working towards FIRE too... long way off for me. I have been selling all kinds of extras from my house- furniture and kitchen stuff. Some things sell great, others not so much... Always wanting to learn more! :)
Hi Nicole, I love to buy and sell stuff and I am actually pretty good at it. One time I purchased a beautiful stained glass lamp shade for the ceiling for $4.00 dollars at a consignment store and sold it for 200.00 dollars. I was so excited that I tried to do it again and I purchased a beautiful doll for $8.00 dollars at the same consignment shop and I sold it for 100.00 . I don't have much time to flip stuff because I work full time. But I will dedicate more time to doing this when I retire. The thrill of the hunt is a lot of fun.
Thanks Nicole, As a fellow cheapskate, I have to admire your resourcefulness. Been doing this for years as a side hustle. I rarely ever use my bank card, Just pay cash for everything. Once I found a really dirty beat-up bike in the garbage container in town and I removed the front and rear wheels, thinking I might be able to save the rims, but after a closer inspection, I saw the tires were good too, So I just cleaned it, treated it with armor-all so it looked almost new, than sold it in one day for $160- Cdn, Someone from another city drove here to pick it up and paid full price for it, I am really good at selling and marketing , also good at photography and image editing in Photoshop, so I edit every single picture I post on marketplace. Most of the time I have a few hundred $$$ in my pocket, but I still make my coffee and don't spend senselessly. It's all about discipline, that most ppl don't have.
Love the video thanks for sharing. I honestly no lie started flipping again this week. I’ve done it on and off throughout the years but been lazy with it. And yeah my experience has been similar in that there is money to be made flipping used stuff. It’s funny how the algorithm works I haven’t searched anything about flipping recently and your video just happened to pop up. This video is just a sign that this is the direction I need to take to get out of the debt I am in and get financially free. I plan to document my journey and post the content on my channel. Thanks so much again.
Yep, I've been doing it for 36 years. Started at a flea market when I was 15 years old. Bought 3 houses in one day at age 29 with that loot. .... MANY stories :)
Glad it worked out for you. It never worked out for me. I think the market is saturated with people flipping. They want way more money than the item is worth. Or if your selling they almost want it for free. At least than was my experience.
It depends what the people are like where you live. When I lived in Australia, flipping was easy in Sydney and Brisbane. Now that I’m back in England in my home city (in South West England), everybody wants things for free. Anything I’ve sold on eBay in the UK has been sold to people all over the UK, except from any city in South West England. They’re all tight fisted.
@@thebritishindian1I’m on the Gold Coast & have tried on Facebook marketplace, but most people want free on there or pay practically nothing. Have also tried gumtree. Things have changed from a few years ago.
The market is totally saturated, and it sucks. You can't even get good stuff for yourself from thrift stores anymore because the hoards have descended and snapped up anything that was remotely a good deal or a good item, and now the stores have caught on and jacked up all their prices.
Ya got me! I had to start at the beginning and to my surprise...you started as a reseller!! I've been reselling full-time on ebay since December 5th, 2016. Since then I've shipped 8,600+ itemes out of my basement. My channel was called The Flippin' Hustler for the first 6 years because I buy things to flip and to make a living at it, you HAVE to Hustle. Then in 2022 I got the bright idea to change the name to Nostalgia Picker and here we are. I totally dig your content and I look forward to checking out more of it.
This popped up in my recommends, I watch a lot of your newer videos, didn’t realise this was your first upload! Nice work, great to see how your channel has grown 🎉
Thank you! I’ve actually done this on a really small scale and it was a bit of fun. I got a new badass bike from picking up free bikes and then cleaning them up and selling. Also have a nice car rack that I didn’t pay for. 🙃 My next thing, I picked up a set of waders for $5.00. I’m unsure if they work well or not but I’m going to try to upsell them.
Hi thank you so much for another great video, I’m not good at selling but I’m really interested in starting doing what you did, I would really appreciate a step by step guide so I can make some money too Have a blessed day Thanks again 😊
I would absolutely love to see the videos that teach us your tricks to buying and selling things. You're making something intimidating seem achievable. Thank you so much
Great video, my favourite flips are roof boxes for cars! I try and buy them around $100-200 and sell them for on average $500. They often come cheap as people have lost the keys but it’s very easy to buy replacement keys for all the big brands. Unfortunately I waste all my profit on rent lol! Fun fact your Canadian money looks exactly like our New Zealand money! 👍
I'm a car nerd and I do Hot Wheels and model cars because I collected them since I was a kid. I once turned a 50 cent thrift store motorized Hot Wheels car into $5. I can kinda relate.
3 YEARS LATER …. Hi. I found this very inspirational. So far, I’ve only bought and sold second hand clothing. Stupidly, I’ve spent all the profits! But I’m going to change that now after watching your video. I subscribed to learn more. Thank you for sharing this.
Love it..keep the hustle alive ! Dont be shy people, learning to sell is such a great transferable skill. Get use to talking to people, net working and crush it
Long time flipper, it is fun and exciting and makes you want to learn the the kind of skills pawn shop owners have... flipping stuff from thrift stores is mostly dead for me with the high prices these days, but people even flip stuff from home depot on ebay.
Nice video coverage the market trends hint at lower prices, but this could also open doors for smart investments. Despite a possible short-term slump, remember the market's long-term potential. Downturns can be entry points for portfolio expansion. Success lies in informed decisions and strategic planning. Thanks to Shea Ardolf’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead!
This reference seems valid.. Just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, over 15 years of experience is certainly striking! very much appreciate this.
Trading systems allow you to limit the factor of emotional influence on decision-making, as well as to give the trade a certain degree of systemic character.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Eugenia Eiland for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Investing in Bitcoin is the wisest asset to be in, not trying to shit on other stocks, it just won’t outperform Bitcoin over pretty much any long time horizon…reality over feelings!!
This is very smart, especially if you're disciplined. It's called arbitrage. When you buy low and sell high. There is eBay arbitrage at Etsy arbitrage mercari, arbitrage etc. Etc. It's fun! I used to sell stuff for other people but I got tired of dealing with other people. You're actually tempting me to go back to it just for fun as a side hustle cuz it is fun! Anywho, this was a neat little video.
Yup its addicting, I am not as busy at the moment but I go through spells of moving alot of items that I don't want it to stop. I usually find free items , clean them up ( maybe ) and resell.
Some time ago I picked up furniture people put out from cleaning their garage, etc. The cost-?- driving there & driving it home, & time spent. 1st wkend yard sale I made 500$ on Saturday & 800$ on Sunday! All I had to do was clean off the furniture with a clean cloth! Also did same with clothing. 😊
Be prepared to deal w/alot of flaky people, alot of no shows, and waiting for people....plus be prepared to have rm to store all this stuff that u hope will sell....
I've found that I enjoy selling things online and the whole process of the bargain, but I've never flipped an item before. Something I definitely want to try my hand at. Thanks for the awesome video!
I pick up free Ikea Malm dressers each day. Some days I have picked up 4-5 dressers. It’s especially the people that are moving house that need them out asap. I normally sell them on the same day for $100+ in profit. So far I have sold around 300 dressers in the past 2 years.
I thought you were going to say..... I swapped the kids' guitar for a full-size one, then I swapped that for a $200 X..... swapped that for a $300 Y and so on. I have actually seen something do that, and from memory, they ended up with an old house in the country 🤯😯🙏
I started out with a sidewalk sale to sell my stuff. It went so well that I decided to go to a local auction, buy some items, and list them on eBay. One such item was an antique steamboat. I bought it at auction for $67 and sold it online for more than $1000! I repeated this many times over with different objects. I bought a painting for a few hundred dollars that I sold for more than $5000. Flipping works!
This is interesting. I've never been able to make it work, though. Tried selling stuff before and always seem to end up with raw deals. I think sales is a gift. Lots of people have it but not me. 😅
Congratulations on your success. I work for the Canada Revenue Agency. We noticed there was some missing revenue on your return. Normally it would be 50,000 but with fines and interest it is currently 65,000. So we will be in contact with you, but once again we encourage the success of small business in the great country of Canada..lol
I heard that there is this "ebay" on the internet where you can sell your used stuff to people across the country and then after they pay, you send it to them through the US Post office or UPS. There are supposedly people who buy crap at garage/estate sales and 2nd hand stores and then they "flip" them and make regular money out of it. I wonder how good that works?
I also stumbled upon flipping years ago, and found that, albeit not for everyone, that joining a cook group which charged a monthly premium turned out to be very beneficial and profitable investment in the long run. Ofcourse it depends on the kind of group you join too and individual experiences may vary
I live in Los Angeles and don’t have anyone close to go with me if I were to go to sell something…how do you protect yourself when you go to hand off a sale locally?
That’s exactly my concern too I live in LA as well and I don’t trust ANYONE to meet with me and sell them something La people would just try to rob you or on the nice side just try to talk down the price I just know it!
I done this for also several years over 14 yrs but mine is biying classic cars.. its been harder now since back then when i started i was buying your typical old grandparents cars for as little as 1200-5000 and reselling them.. but now with inflation theres no way you find those nice unmolested classic grandma cars for less then 10k 😆 but the key to this side Hussle is exactly what you said.. start with things you know at least a little of. Not some random thing that u have no clue what so ever.
I tried it in 2021, by selling think I didn’t need around the house but sold by the price I bought it inicial or for cheap ,and made 20€ but a lot I needed to sent by mail and it took up half to 1h in the mail to send it so I broke even and spent the 20€ buying other stuff, but learned that people buy the “ craziest things”, maybe I should try again😂
Persian rugs and revere ware pots. Both sell well for me and that is where I start looking for deals on Facebook or goodwill respectively. I'm thinking of turning a spare room into an inventory bc I can't find non creepy roommates. I have made money when I notice a good deal but the stuff I buy with the intent to flip is not selling.
🙂 Great Stuff, would love to hear about your other tips on looking for deals to flip. I have sort dabbled a bit with the concept. However, where I live the second hand market is not that of Canada (I am a CDN expat living in Europe) but willing to try..Thx in advance and keep up the great videos....
I flip two furniture pieces. I'm currently trying to sell my 3rd piece but it's not going good. I put in some work to make it nice but still can't sell it which is a bummer.
Nice. I've bought and sold a ton of things. I usually buy it, use it for a while, then sell it for the same price which basically lets me "rent" it for free. I could see it being a fun game to flip other items, though.
I've flipped heaps of stuff, but I couldn't tell you how much I've made from it. My best was a complete subscription model kit at the Vinnies for $35 that I sold for $800 on ebay. TBH, I just enjoy the process.
I don’t buy & sell, I find & sell. In my apartment complex people are always leaving stuff at the dumpster, I just bring it home & flip it! It’s not a lot of money at all but I get a little dough while connecting things that almost went into the land fill with the people who need them.
I live in an apartment too. I collected a few old broke laptops. I don't know whether anybody wants them
@@MAbdullah-zr9kc you could probably sell them for parts
Yep, we live in a wasteful society. People can't see treasure in what is thrown out
@@MAbdullah-zr9kcyes I want it
Would you mind sending it to my country. I'll love to turn this into a business. Those broken items or unwanted
I'm the same. It's a win-win when you can recycle, make a little money, and have a mutually beneficial situation all around.
One of the best side hustle videos I’ve seen. No hype, no “replace your income” promises, no advanced marketing. Just simple common sense
Exactly! No vagueness, no bs, like "you have to change your mindset and blahblah". Just straight to the point, basically buy low, sell high.

This popped up in my recommends, I watch a lot of your newer videos, didn’t realise this was your first upload! Nice work, great to see how your channel has grown 🎉
Thank you! I’ve actually done this on a really small scale and it was a bit of fun. I got a new badass bike from picking up free bikes and then cleaning them up and selling. Also have a nice car rack that I didn’t pay for. 🙃
My next thing, I picked up a set of waders for $5.00. I’m unsure if they work well or not but I’m going to try to upsell them.
Somewhere, an IRS agent is grinning evilly while watching this video...
IRS is American, she's Canadian ya bonehead! Lol
Good thing she's in Toronto 😉 I'm in Buffalo so I would have to worry
Heck ya, nicely done. So fun to do this. I dig your videos, glad I found this one, it's cool to hear others' stories.
Hi thank you so much for another great video, I’m not good at selling but I’m really interested in starting doing what you did, I would really appreciate a step by step guide so I can make some money too
Have a blessed day
Thanks again 😊
I would absolutely love to see the videos that teach us your tricks to buying and selling things. You're making something intimidating seem achievable. Thank you so much
Great job!!!! So cool. I payed my mortgage one month from flips. Definitely a fun hustle, like a treasure hunt.
Great video, my favourite flips are roof boxes for cars! I try and buy them around $100-200 and sell them for on average $500. They often come cheap as people have lost the keys but it’s very easy to buy replacement keys for all the big brands. Unfortunately I waste all my profit on rent lol! Fun fact your Canadian money looks exactly like our New Zealand money! 👍
I'm a car nerd and I do Hot Wheels and model cars because I collected them since I was a kid. I once turned a 50 cent thrift store motorized Hot Wheels car into $5. I can kinda relate.
3 YEARS LATER …. Hi. I found this very inspirational. So far, I’ve only bought and sold second hand clothing. Stupidly, I’ve spent all the profits! But I’m going to change that now after watching your video. I subscribed to learn more. Thank you for sharing this.
Love it..keep the hustle alive ! Dont be shy people, learning to sell is such a great transferable skill. Get use to talking to people, net working and crush it
Long time flipper, it is fun and exciting and makes you want to learn the the kind of skills pawn shop owners have... flipping stuff from thrift stores is mostly dead for me with the high prices these days, but people even flip stuff from home depot on ebay.
Dropping 💎💎
Love flipping, thrill of the hunt too.
Get into estate sales, 📚 research is everything
I’m looking at flipping things I have on hand at home. One thing I have is a Kicker speaker box a kicker amplifier, and a pioneer amplifier
I just give everything away haha. I can't be bothered having to deal with people
Wonderful outlook , please leave me your yacht , a thousand thank yous and happy long life.
Nice video coverage the market trends hint at lower prices, but this could also open doors for smart investments. Despite a possible short-term slump, remember the market's long-term potential. Downturns can be entry points for portfolio expansion. Success lies in informed decisions and strategic planning. Thanks to Shea Ardolf’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead!
Shea Ardolf program is widely available online..
This reference seems valid.. Just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, over 15 years of experience is certainly striking! very much appreciate this.
Trading systems allow you to limit the factor of emotional influence on decision-making, as well as to give the trade a certain degree of systemic character.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Eugenia Eiland for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Investing in Bitcoin is the wisest asset to be in, not trying to shit on other stocks, it just won’t outperform Bitcoin over pretty much any long time horizon…reality over feelings!!
This is very smart, especially if you're disciplined. It's called arbitrage. When you buy low and sell high. There is eBay arbitrage at Etsy arbitrage mercari, arbitrage etc. Etc. It's fun! I used to sell stuff for other people but I got tired of dealing with other people. You're actually tempting me to go back to it just for fun as a side hustle cuz it is fun! Anywho, this was a neat little video.
Yup its addicting, I am not as busy at the moment but I go through spells of moving alot of items that I don't want it to stop. I usually find free items , clean them up ( maybe ) and resell.
Spectacular! Thank you for such straightforward information.
Saving this for later. Adding to my Watch Later for sure. Thanks girlie. 😊 New subscriber!
I'm along for this ride. Thank you, young lady.
Some time ago I picked up furniture people put out from cleaning their garage, etc. The cost-?- driving there & driving it home, & time spent. 1st wkend yard sale I made 500$ on Saturday & 800$ on Sunday! All I had to do was clean off the furniture with a clean cloth! Also did same with clothing. 😊
I'd love to see more flipping tips that doesn't involve owning a vehicle or muscles.
There are online thrift stores you can shop on and resell those things
Be prepared to deal w/alot of flaky people, alot of no shows, and waiting for people....plus be prepared to have rm to store all this stuff that u hope will sell....
yes a place to store it, can be perplexing
Really interesting and yes please, more of your selling journey would be great to see!
You're a natural. I'm hooked. Going to show my kids. Love from Australia.
I've found that I enjoy selling things online and the whole process of the bargain, but I've never flipped an item before.
Something I definitely want to try my hand at.
Thanks for the awesome video!
I’m going to a second hand market tomorrow. I will definitely look for stuff I can sell with a profit! Thank you for this video!
I just brought a guitar for $50, I know I can sell it for $100, I’ve been wanting to flip for so long, imma start doing this 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
You have a very nice style. I enjoyed listening to you and I wish you all the best...
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN TODAY. BRAVO
I pick up free Ikea Malm dressers each day. Some days I have picked up 4-5 dressers. It’s especially the people that are moving house that need them out asap. I normally sell them on the same day for $100+ in profit. So far I have sold around 300 dressers in the past 2 years.
I love that you put your guitar in the corner of the room during the room haha😂❤
Where do you source your items from ? Craigslist ? the local thrift shop ? where do you buy your items from ? Great video
I thought you were going to say.....
I swapped the kids' guitar for a full-size one, then I swapped that for a $200 X..... swapped that for a $300 Y and so on.
I have actually seen something do that, and from memory, they ended up with an old house in the country 🤯😯🙏
I saw this as well and thought of it
Well done, Nicole. Love your enthusiasm
what app do you use to track finances?
Thanks for the inspiration! You make something that seems complicated seem achievable !!!
This is a great video, I really enjoyed your story!! Thank you!
😊❤️
Wow your video was awesome, your channel has so much potential, sky is the limit for you my friend 😉👍
I started out with a sidewalk sale to sell my stuff. It went so well that I decided to go to a local auction, buy some items, and list them on eBay. One such item was an antique steamboat. I bought it at auction for $67 and sold it online for more than $1000! I repeated this many times over with different objects. I bought a painting for a few hundred dollars that I sold for more than $5000. Flipping works!
This is interesting. I've never been able to make it work, though. Tried selling stuff before and always seem to end up with raw deals. I think sales is a gift. Lots of people have it but not me. 😅
Congratulations on your success. I work for the Canada Revenue Agency. We noticed there was some missing revenue on your return. Normally it would be 50,000 but with fines and interest it is currently 65,000. So we will be in contact with you, but once again we encourage the success of small business in the great country of Canada..lol
I heard that there is this "ebay" on the internet where you can sell your used stuff to people across the country and then after they pay, you send it to them through the US Post office or UPS. There are supposedly people who buy crap at garage/estate sales and 2nd hand stores and then they "flip" them and make regular money out of it. I wonder how good that works?
Good for you. There are bargains everywhere if you look around. Buying and selling for cash is a great way to make a little cash on the side.
What platform did you use to sell? Those are quick responses!
I see this video was made 3 years ago. Did u ever make that followup video about steps to successfully buying and selling stuff? Id love to see it.
I also stumbled upon flipping years ago, and found that, albeit not for everyone, that joining a cook group which charged a monthly premium turned out to be very beneficial and profitable investment in the long run. Ofcourse it depends on the kind of group you join too and individual experiences may vary
What’s a cook group?
cook group? are we talking Jesse Pinkman cook? 😂
Great video. I like the no hype approach.
I live in Los Angeles and don’t have anyone close to go with me if I were to go to sell something…how do you protect yourself when you go to hand off a sale locally?
That’s exactly my concern too
I live in LA as well and I don’t trust ANYONE to meet with me and sell them something
La people would just try to rob you or on the nice side just try to talk down the price
I just know it!
I done this for also several years over 14 yrs but mine is biying classic cars.. its been harder now since back then when i started i was buying your typical old grandparents cars for as little as 1200-5000 and reselling them.. but now with inflation theres no way you find those nice unmolested classic grandma cars for less then 10k 😆 but the key to this side Hussle is exactly what you said.. start with things you know at least a little of. Not some random thing that u have no clue what so ever.
I tried it in 2021, by selling think I didn’t need around the house but sold by the price I bought it inicial or for cheap ,and made 20€ but a lot I needed to sent by mail and it took up half to 1h in the mail to send it so I broke even and spent the 20€ buying other stuff, but learned that people buy the “ craziest things”, maybe I should try again😂
Persian rugs and revere ware pots. Both sell well for me and that is where I start looking for deals on Facebook or goodwill respectively. I'm thinking of turning a spare room into an inventory bc I can't find non creepy roommates. I have made money when I notice a good deal but the stuff I buy with the intent to flip is not selling.
Thank you for sharing. Love this.
Oh one of my best flips was a kinda trashed Ibanez rg from the early 2000's for $60 , sold it as a fixer upper for $300
🙂 Great Stuff, would love to hear about your other tips on looking for deals to flip. I have sort dabbled a bit with the concept. However, where I live the second hand market is not that of Canada (I am a CDN expat living in Europe) but willing to try..Thx in advance and keep up the great videos....
I flip two furniture pieces. I'm currently trying to sell my 3rd piece but it's not going good. I put in some work to make it nice but still can't sell it which is a bummer.
Sell just to break even then move on to something else. It's a learning experience. Good luck!
Don't even know you but I am so proud of you, this is amazing.
Nice. I've bought and sold a ton of things. I usually buy it, use it for a while, then sell it for the same price which basically lets me "rent" it for free. I could see it being a fun game to flip other items, though.
where online did you sell it? free listing services? paid listing services?
I've flipped heaps of stuff, but I couldn't tell you how much I've made from it. My best was a complete subscription model kit at the Vinnies for $35 that I sold for $800 on ebay. TBH, I just enjoy the process.
Hi Nicole, thanks for the video; straight forward, informative and I like your style! Keep up the good work.
Mctuber out.
Do you have to pay taxes? How do you handle that?
Excellent. This is actually how stock dealing works and you can make way more money.
You made over $10K a year! That counts as a side hustle. I do sell stuff on Facebook marketplace....so. thanks for this idea
This is how Future contracts also work.... But what about your time, gascosts and taxes on your income??
