Let’s talk about why you need to get started with your flipping side hustle today.
We’ve had so many people reaching out to us recently wanting to get started with a flipping side hustle because they’ve either lost their job, or their spouse lost their job, or something. And a lot of it has to do with AI replacing jobs, people cutting back, and companies cutting down. There will always be people out there looking for used items, looking for good deals, now more than ever because if people are losing their jobs, they can’t afford to go out and finance or pay top dollar for items.
This is why now is the time to make a substantial income from flipping. Secondhand selling typically does really well in shaky economic times. Now is a time to find great deals.
Our style of flipping is high profit. We really look for those sales that are going to move the needle in our finances. We’re looking for those sales that are $500, $1,000, $2,000, $5,000 per single sale. We don’t do high volume as we prefer quality over quantity.
Debunking People Won’t Pay Those Prices For A Used Item
Some people might be thinking, “Okay, well, if people are losing their jobs, then nobody can afford to pay for a $2,000 item or a $5,000 item.” I want to debunk that because the reason why they will still pay that much is because it’s a lot less than what they would be spending retail, and more people do look for good deals during economic hardship.
Our last big sale was $15,000. It was an item that was new that I got from a thrift store. It was a steam oven. We paid $1,000 for it and sold it for $15,000. Someone bought that for their restaurant. Their other option was buying a brand-new one from the manufacturer for $40,000 or save a lot of money and buy a brand-new one from us, from eBay.
The lady who bought it reached out and said, “Hey, I could use two more of these if you have them.” Unfortunately it was the only one I had at the time. People will spend money, whether it’s $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 on items that have a higher retail value.
We’re not price gouging. We’re actually giving somebody a really amazing deal on all the stuff that we’re selling. A lot of times we’re delivering it to their door when we’re selling stuff on eBay, which makes it that much more convenient for somebody.
How To Get Started Flipping
If you haven’t started yet, start now. It’s better to have these skills established to where if something does happen in the future, you have somewhere to land.
Find three to five items that you have inside of your house that haven’t been used in the last 12 months. Get them listed on Facebook Marketplace and start making some money that way. Then use those profits to find items you can buy and sell on eBay.
Don’t lose money. Sell them on eBay. Learn the process. Build the foundations on eBay and learn how the whole thing works. Then yo u can scale up and actually start selling more expensive items.
