What are some of the best items to flip?
Save time and money with my best-selling resources in Complete Change Your Finances Bundle.
There are so many great items that can be flipped on eBay. We definitely don’t limit ourselves, and we tend to drift toward the stranger ones. (Like a prosthetic leg we bought for $30 and sold for $1,000 in less than a day!)
Some of our favorites are:
- Baby items:
- Patio furniture
- Exercise equipment
- Commercial kitchen equipment
- Vintage items
- Antiques
- Appliances
- Home medical equipment
- Tools
- Small machines
This is just a starting list, like I said we don’t limit ourselves to anything really. We are always looking for expensive brands and items in good condition for a low price.
What About Shipping? How do you ship larger items and don’t you get burned with shipping costs?
Shipping is something that we realized gets a lot of people scared about doing this as a side hustle. We actually never lose money on shipping, and most of the time we add some extra cushion in there to cover our packaging costs and time.
We ship all kinds of items now, and Rob is a pro at the larger ones. He even wrote an e-book all about shipping recently, since it is such a common roadblock for so many people.
Check out his e-book https://transactions.sendowl.com/stores/6679/30133” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>The Art of Shipping: How to Package and Ship Large Items for eBay. Here is an example of a video that he included in the e-book:
What is Flipper University that you mentioned earlier?
Rob and I created Flipper University in 2015 to help people get a jump start on their flipping businesses and help take their current eBay business to the next level.
We took our 20 years of flipping knowledge and put it into a go at your own pace e-course to help others kick butt with their side hustle!
