New thread, bitches.

What do you flip? Where do you flip it? Ebay, Mercari?

I've been sourcing cheap DVDs and flipping them online for serious money. I paid 25 cents for a sealed DVD the other day and sold it the same day for $10 on Ebay! I'm not getting rich by any means, but this kind of money seriously does add up.

I need some alternative sites for selling clothes as eBay has the worst bargain hunters this side of a flea market. Designer brands that people try to buy for pennies. Any ideas besides Mercari? TheRealReal legit? For shoes it's either StockX or eBay

Based off last thread I decided just to flip furniture locally. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also I've spotted some local niggers selling mattresses on an abandoned lot for cheap. Where/how do I get a supply of mattresses like that?

I flip new clothes and shoes. I used to do random stuff, but narrowed it down to this niche. Shipping is easy.

There's software for that. Or if you're listing under 100 items checking it and correcting the prices in the morning should only take about half an hour.

Mad job on the quote but AutoDS and Zik Analytics do automatic price updating I believe, though you'll need a subscription to their services

these threads get deleted off archives really quick, I find that rather interesting, considering every shitcoin thread gets left up
whatever, Im seriously interested in this as a side gig and if possible, making it my main job
How does one go about starting, the material is out there from what i understand but over 90% of it seems to be trash like "buy my course and I too can make you a gigallionaire by showing you how to sell hyper mega rabbit dildos on ebay"

I flipped graphics cards to retards for a while but flipping just creates a lot of artificial scarcity and only works when people have funny money raining on them from the sky (covidbux)
I made some bags flipping gold and silver on ebay when I was younger but it seems like people started botting that and I can't find shit like I used to.

hit up all your local auctions, get there early and look everything up to see what its worth. eventually you will learn to tell the value of most stuff just by looking at it

Yeah, you'd think ones focused on actual business would be more popular.
What are you thinking of doing? Buying items from thrift stores and selling them online, or more like eBay dropshipping? If it's the former this could be helpful, I never got into it so I can't say much about it

>> No.52727745

>>52727674
thank you very much
>>52727680
I was thinking of starting of the first one yes, and using it to build capital to dump into dropshipping "en masse"
I understand thrifting doesn't really scale up at all unless you move into reselling really high ticket items like designer stuff, expensive watches etc.
since I'm just starting I'd like to try and see what I can do with a couple of thrift flips
thanks for the pic brother, I think I remember seeing that in an entg/ general a while ago, funny how most the entg's have been purged from archives as well
fucking kikes man

any tips on dropshipping once I fall down that route eventually?
again 90%plus of the shit out there seems to also be "buy my anal dropshipping course and become a gorillionaire in anal probing in just 3 days"

Poshmark, but fees are hell. Etsy for vintage. They don't eat you alive in fees, but exposure is non-existent. You'll have to shill your shit on social media.

Don't bother going down the shopify dropshipping route unless you have a definite winner with a good margin and know what you're doing with marketing and Facebook/TikTok ads. As for Amazon to eBay/Facebook marketplace, find items that other people are dropshipping and sell the same ones for a little less when you start. Eventually you'll get some items that sell well that you can start increasing the margins on to see how far you can push it. Then find more items you can do this with and keep going.

>Etsy doesn't eat you alive in fees
bullshit. I resold packaged items I didn't make on there in 2020. Made a fucking killing. But Etsy forced me to pay for advertisements. You can't opt out. They took $7 every sale on top of the fees. Be very careful with Etsy. Lots of people have complained about this. Unfortunately my Etsy journey was short because what I sold is out of production but it would be relatively cheap to reproduce and I have one more left I can copy.
