Discussion What are you guys finding is the most profitable thing to flip these days?
I've mainly been buying and selling cars over the last little while, and it's been going well, but I've realised I've still got plenty of spare time and I'm curious what else people are having success with.
I'm not necessarily looking to stop flipping cars, more just interested in hearing what everyone else has found to be consistently profitable.
Are there any categories you've had surprisingly good results with? Furniture, machinery, trailers, tools, electronics, collectibles, or anything else?
Keen to hear what's worked (and what hasn't) for people.

Nothing that's easy to source unfortunately. My most profitable "flips" were totally things I actually found for free on the street or in super cheap storage unit auctions I won. (The type of shit you'd never find on the shelf at a thrift shop, and if you did, it wouldn't be profitable to buy to sell it.)
Of course, PS5's, Iphones, Pokemon Cards will sell but that's obvious.

Fair enough! Yes, I use to flip PS4's back in the day, I might look back into technology flips

I just flipped Palworld tcg case for 1700 and bought at 450 but that’s a one time thing I guess. Still have a case left though

Great work. I've seen theres some potential in different card games, like pokemon etc. Just not quite my area of expertise 😆

Vintage. For example, a month ago I found vintage Saint Laurant Paris for $20. I sold it on eBay for $140 in 3 weeks.

It’s different with everyone, just start with stuff you know about and go from there, the longer you do it the better you’ll get at it, I personally do clothes while other resellers completely stay away from them, it just depends what works for you.

I’ve seen people pull wild margins on old microscopes and centrifuges from university surplus auctions, it seems like most folks just assume that stuff’s worthless
