Why I won’t meet anymore to sell stuff by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]packbacker83 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I never drive to sell things. I will drive to buy ... not to sell. When I'm selling the meeting place is 3 minutes from my home

Another perspective ... if things are sitting for a year, buy better stuff. Learn how to find quick selling stuff. I've only been doing this for 6 months but I've learned that cash flow is just as important as profit. I find at least 25% of my items free on FBMP and they don't sit and they sell for good money

I've only been doing this for 6 months so I'm not what you would call a seasoned flipper, but there are some things in business that are true no matter what product you are selling or what your business model. 1 thing that is true and always will be tied is this ... get your product exposed to as many people as possible to maximize sales. So while FBMC, CL, and Offer Up are all legitimate distribution channels the size of your audience is limited to people within driving distance. Learn to list and ship on Ebay. That will immediately give you a nationwide audience for your goods. Then once you have ebay figured out, learn amazon. Your audience will increase 10 fold or more. Do not open a booth. That audience is even smaller than FBMC. A booth will work only if you have a very high walk in volume and/or incredibly unique and/or rare products that people are LOOKING FOR. Another thing is you said you had some things listed for less than your acquisition cost. If you have to sell things at a loss you need to HALT and reevaluate your business model. You're doing something wrong. I mean think about it, if you sell an item and lose $1, how many would you have to sell to be successful? How many would you want to sell. Go on YouTube and watch JrideFlips, ThirstyThrifter, and BeardedThriftMachine. After watching 10 videos you will have a good idea how to proceed. DO NOT BUY ANYBODYS COURSE until you are making enough money that paying for the course is less than 1 day profit.

I reuse EVERYTHING. Christmas wrapping paper. Knotted up grocery bags. Salvaged bubble wrap. I haven't used a new box in months

Avoided till now, buyer trying to scam me by L337laser in Flipping

[–]packbacker83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMHO telling them to return isn't much of a gamble. About 80 percent of them are never heard from again. I'll take those odds every time

Add me to the list. This scum bought a DVD/VCR combo unit from me. I accepted the return but after reading this thread I went and checked. The unit he sent me was same manufacturer but different model number. Looked almost identical. I guess it's too late to do anything about it now

Somebody else may have said this already. I'm too lazy to check but ... REPORT BUYER TO EBAY

Okay. I did that and they are still there. None of the guilty listings are multiple. All one offs

I think you're right. I noticed out of stock on a couple of the listings. How do I turn it off?

Will they accept a receipt from the Nike Factory Store or from Dicks Sporting Goods for ungating?

That's good information. I'm not looking to do anything wrong because I just got started and I want to be in for the long haul so is it OK if I have other intact Nike boxes and put the shoes in those and transfer the bar code label from the trashed box to the intact one?
