Buying items and then selling them for a profit is the art of “flipping.” Ever heard of it? Well, if you have, then you probably know the concept fairly well. What you may not know though is where you can sell these items that you are buying. You’re in luck though! We’re going to give you our personal recommendations as to where you can flip items for money. Ready to get started? If so, scroll down and take a look. We promise it will be worth it!

eBay

The obvious first choice when it comes to flipping items for a profit is eBay. If you’ve been living under a rock (we’re kidding) and have never heard of eBay, it’s basically an online auction site that you can sell practically anything on. You also don’t have to do just auctions as you can sell stuff as “Buy It Now” and set your own price. eBay totally rocks!

Flea Markets

This is a pretty popular way of flipping items as you’ll attract a large variety of people but you’ll definitely want to be careful with this one. Flea markets aren’t a particularly good place to sell high end items so you may want to turn to flea markets when you have a mix of things to sell and at good prices. Most people that go to flea markets are looking for a value and items that don’t cost a lot of money so keep that in mind in the near future.

Open A Store

If you’re financially secure and have the ability to do this, opening your own store to sell your items could be a very viable option for you. Even if you already work full time, this could still work out very well. Open a store, set your hours to be weekends only, and see if you can flip your items for a profit. Just make sure you don’t spend too much on rent.

Yard Sales

Finally, you have the option of having a yard sale or two or three. Every time you get your inventory built up, have a yard sale. There are probably literally hundreds if not thousands of people in your area that go to yard sales every single weekend. Space them out a month or two apart and you’re likely to make a pretty good return on your investment. You may also consider having a yard sale with a friend or family member if you don’t have enough items of your own. Best of all, you can do this from home so it won’t cost you a dime.

And now you know a few ways that you can make a little extra money and where you can flip your items for a profit. Each one of these methods is pretty darn effective and you’ll be hard pressed to find better places (physical or virtual) to flip your items for a profit. Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there, make some money, and have a little fun!
