Some start with a lower price watch flip it worked your way up. If I could afford between 10 and $20,000 watch to flip what would the most basic simple flip right now relax submarine? Man’s watch? Ladies watch? I was hoping somebody that is experienced flipping watches like this could tell me exactly what watch they would buy right now if they had that much money to buy it with to make a simple flip. Maybe make $200-$500 on the deal? Also, where would you buy this watch and where would you sell this watch? I appreciate all of you good luck with everything you do and God bless.

I started to flip video games and consoles and I am using Facebook and Offerup. My issue with both is that posts are months old (some being 51 weeks). I know of Facebook we can do listing date but that narrows my search a lot. So I wanted to know what other sites you use?

Don't have many garage sales in my area, Good will outlets are really far. Also would appreciate any tips on being successful

I found a miniature at a game shop while on a trip with my wife. Knew it was underpriced so bought it.

Came back, listed it at $180 on a subreddit about 6 hours ago -- well below lowest eBay listing of $230 value (but still a good markup for me)

A poster said "wow, what'd you pay for that?" So I told them, $110. (Discussion question 1--> is this a question a flipper should dance around, lie about, or just not answer? I thought with a show like American pickers being out there, flipping is more mainstream and accepted..... well, not in this particular community I guess ha)

Got blasted for being a scalper by at least 3 people (one deleted their comment, but I got it in email. Another, a male nurse, called me an a-hole. A hero called me an a-hole!). For adults trying to buy toys, they sure are up in arms about someone offering them a deal on their toys.

Anyway, the model sold about two hours ago (to a previous buyer). So, I feel like I definitely got the last laugh there.

But that leads me to discussion question 2... is being a part of a subreddit / facebook group "worth it" for the extra customers, or is the hassle just not worth it? (Maybe this depends what's being flipped?)

When I started seriously flipping about a year ago I would purchase anything as long as I think I can make a profit.

But these days I'm no longer interested in low quality items or slow-sellers. I'm only interested in good quality popular items that sell fast with decent profit margin.

But I notice my profit hasn't declined. So I guess being lazy or selective is not necessarily detrimental.

This may sound silly or someone might say why do you care? Well, for some reason it bothers me.

I came across a historic photo of a very famous person on eBay that is currently selling for $3 million.

The problem is that there is no record that the photo was ever taken even and there is no possibility of a photo being taken without anyone knowing.

Apparently it has been posted for a while, and they even increased the price by $250000 and luckily no one purchased it yet.

A buyer bought a item from me and the item was returned yesterday back to me. It was returned back by usps as insufficient address- return to sender. He lives in an apartment and did not include the apartment number on his address. Ebay counts the purchase as delivered even as it was returned to me. I was thinking of doing a refund but all it lets me do is choose how much i want to refund. I don't want to be out shipping + ebay fee + ebay Ad fee + taxes. I might be wrong but if i do a refund like that, i would still be charged all those fees and the item will still count as delivered to buyer.

What if i get the buyer to request a return, but i have the item. I also had "buyer pays for returns" for this item. How would i go about that.

What would be ideal for me would be either a full refund is given and im out only the shipping cost OR i give a refund and buyer pays for the shipping cost. Any suggestions would be great.

Hey everyone,

I'm interested in getting into the business of buying and reselling iPhones. I'm looking for advice on:

1. Reliable sources or suppliers where I can purchase lots of refurbished iPhones at wholesale prices?
2. Any tips or common pitfalls to avoid when starting in this market?
3. Experiences with buying refurbished vs. new units?
4. Any suggestions that you can help me to start my business

Thanks in advance for any insights or guidance you can provide!

I have been reselling clothes on a very small scale for years but I have a lot more time on my hands now and want to take this hobby more seriously.

How to streamline the shipping process?? I would go to my local post office and wait in line with maybe 2 packages in my hands and then they would scan the QR code and then I would leave. But the line was always so long.

How do y’all bulk ship items??

Do yall print your own labels and drop them off somewhere???

Please help. I want to scale this to be a business for me eventually and I know I’ll have to bulk ship one day. I want to be prepared 💚

Picked one up while walking around town. It seems to be missing the retention or retaining ring. Not sure what it is called.

Is the hubcap still useable? Have it on ebay and don't want to ship it out only for the buyer to say it doesn't fit...

There are only 24 days until Christmas. That is only 3 weeks and 3 days. So if you have some items you intend on selling for Christmas gifts, the best time to list is now. The prices for things like video-game consoles usually goes up around this time of year. Plus it takes time for shipping. There are even people who buy used Christmas decorations on Ebay.

Seriously, WTF is going on?

Here is a search for "Uniden BC144XL".

https://preview.redd.it/729l2sfucb4e1.jpg?width=866&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ede745e8e36e5ff6abd65116e470b1098dd60a23

Within the last month or so, typing in a specific model number brings up all sorts of items that are NOT the item.

Clicking on these items does not bring up any kind of "hack". BC144XL is not mentioned in any part of the description, model numbers, MPN, etc.

It's especially hard to look for car parts now, because typing in the exact part you need brings up a bunch of ones that are of no use.

im trying to buy anything nintendo 3ds through marketplace and they will ship it but they said we would do it through facebook pay. is this safe and how can i make sure i recieve my item

Sometimes when I have free time on my computer I'll search completed listings on eBay to try to research new things to flip. I go to a lot of estate sales, so I like to be well-versed in a variety of household items to make the most of my trip. One trick that I think is less well known is to search completed listings and then filter to auction only. This unlocks a new sorting feature that otherwise is not available called "number of bids: most first". So it might not always be the most expensive items, but it certainly shows you desirable items that will have a high rate of selling. I like to do this with keywords like "shampoo" and "ornament" and "mug" and other generic, less competitive categories I find at estate sales. (e.g. T-Gel, the popular Neutrogena anti-dandruff shampoo, was recently discontinued and goes for a decent amount online.)

It can be hit or miss (and it might just closely resemble the search results for sold > all > highest price first), but it filters out those random Buy It Nows that seem too good to be true or the listings that just have one bid at a super high price point. It has given me new things to look for that I would have otherwise ignored.

All that to say. don't sleep on the bathrooms at estate sales! ;) I've made over $100 this month alone on discontinued shampoos that I got for next to nothing.

I get that your taking away an authentic experience meant for a fan, but can't the same things be said about shoe resellers? tbf the scalper put in more effort to acquire those items in the first place, so you're paying premium for that effort put in, the same way I pay for coffee for an insane markup.

not a concert ticket scalper, just genuinely curious, thanks.

I’m going out of town next week (Wednesday - Saturday) so I will be unable to ship items that sell on eBay during that time.

I’d love to hear some feedback / advice on whether I should put my store in vacation mode or update handling time to 3 days on all my listings?

Thanks!

Hi all. I sold a gpu on eBay first time seller,

The buyer asked me 10k questions I answered every single one of them then he requested to cancel the order. But eBay wanted me to pay$20 to cancel it cause of advertising,… I told him I need a few days to cancel he said whatever just send it.

He got it a a week ago, I messaged him saying hey there it says it was delivered just wanna make sure everything’s working okay, he replied with yes.

Fast forward to yesterday. He’s texting me saying the gpu is completely dead no output.

Thing is I literally tested it before shipping it out. It worked fine. Although he’s saying it turns on but just no output. I tried to walk him through trouble shooting

I just spent the money and don’t have the cash to refund him he wants to send it back what’s my options?

Post your latest episode(s) of your YouTube channel here, post links to your latest blog post, eBook, whatever. You can even post links to an eBay listing or something (but keep in mind, when someone here finds out what your eBay name is, and then they hate you, they will never forget it). You can post links to lots of stuff that you're trying to sell to other flippers, but this is still not a marketplace. Please go through some other service to complete the transaction. People on Reddit can be shady, and there's no protection from me, the other mods, r/flipping, or Reddit if someone here sends you a box of bricks. Just don't be dumb.

Whatever you want to know about flipping, no matter the question, ask here. Even if it's been covered 1,000 times before. Doesn't matter if you're new or old. If you stop learning things, you're probably on your way out.

I would like some advice!

Context: I had a set of dishes selling for $40. I had a person reach out to me saying they would pick them up Wednesday. I kept messaging and asked them when they were to come etc. Friday I finally messaged early morning after seeing a message they sent regarding being busy and I thought “well holidays get like that, that’s fine!” (he did not communicate AT ALL) and I had said “that’s okay let me know when you can come!” he messaged me later saying he’d be on the way and I was okay with that. My internet and electric went out (i didn’t know as I was chatting with my boyfriend and we don’t keep the lights on) and all of a sudden 3 messages came through time stamped 30-35 minutes ago from him. I profusely apologized when I realized what happened and offered a 25% discount as well as to take the set of dishes to him. I also messaged him today as i was in the area on an errand 30 minutes from my home. He read the message quickly, didn’t respond, waited a couple hours then left a 1 star review stating i wasted his time. I had 52 reviews before this one and I had a perfect 5 star rating. i’m so disheartened and do not know what to do. I was trying to fix the situation and have never faced this issue. I had the set very low anyways as I paid $120 for the set. advice? next steps?

So, I just started selling vintage home decor and kitchen items on FB Marketplace (Thinking about moving over to Etsy possibly). But anyway........ So far, I have been staging items using a neutral background with a plant and wooden cutting board/platter in the background of the product. I have also been placing the item on a white marble lazy Susan, to make it easy to spin the item for short videos. My question is this, do you seem to have better luck staging with other items/accessorizing (like plants/books/etc....)? Or do you have better luck by placing the item on a nice table top/hard surface with a plain white background with nothing else in the photo? Or a mixture of both? (i.e. showing the item for sale with some accessorizing and also with a plain white background). Just curious. Thanks!!

I'm one month in. Going ok. Do you guys have space issues with inventory?

Hey reddit,

I am looking to get into flipping all sorts of tech, but mainly focused around drones and pcs. I have spent the past week and a half or so looking around for return pallets, but I have basically concluded that all the stuff are scams.

I recently found an auction house 1 hour away from Toronto (where I live) who said they had a lot of 20 as is drones, which im fine with, but on the listing they said "comes with whatever we recieved" which is not true, because after spending an hour 1 way to get there, I realized that they had taken out the remotes, the batteries, and anything thats an easy sell, only leaving the drones that are locked or bound to an account (which i can only use for parts) and its kind of useless otherwise to start out with. There were also a couple pc parts I wanted to check out, they said they had a rtx 3070, but it ended up being a rtx 3060 ti, and said they haid "wrongly listed it". How? Don't see myself going back there in the near future.

One more question, what condition is best for buying? I was thinking about getting uninspected returns, which would get downwards of 30% resellable stuff. I live in Toronto if anyone else local knows any good stores maybe? Buying salvage is also no issue, but do vendors usually list out the issues on each item?

Anyways I felt the title is a bit click bait after all lol, but I just really need help rn, so anyone who has been in my place before please leave a msg, anything will be useful.

Thanks

Occasionally will share a url of mine and the listing doesn't show up. Anyone else have this issue? I have zero neg reviews
