I want to get into flipping on sites like Ebay, anyone got good starting points for that? What are the best areas to start in? I heard hardware is good.
Also i'm a buff dude so i dont have to worry about getting mugged.

I flip on ebay/etsy full time. I do a mix of clothing and hard goods. If you're just starting out, I would not recommend limiting yourself to a niche. There won't be enough buying opportunities. If you're in an area that has a lot of garage sales then start with that. Yard sale treasure map is a good app for that. If you have a lot of thrift stores near you, then clothing would be ok. I will warn you though, clothing is extremely competetive and time consuming. Whatever you decide to start selling, just make sure you check comps for what it actually sold for, not what it's listed at. Also check the volume that is selling. Ebay solds show sales for the past 90 days. So if you see 100 solds and 100 active listings, you can assume that it will take you about 3 months to sell it. Shipping is another important thing to learn about. You can easily get raped on shipping charges if you don't know what you're doing. Start off using calculated shipping and make sure to measure and weigh it when it's pre-packed. I can answer your questions if you have any.

if you dont recommend starting with a niche, then what do you recommend? Also, do you ship within the US only?

Watch a ton of 'what sold' or 'garage sale haul' videos. GarageFlips channel is good. Look everything up on the ebay app. You'll eventually get a good eye for what's rare/valuable. I use the global shipping program for international sales. You just ship whatever sold internationally to ebay's distribution center in kentucky and they take care of the rest.

not into crypto, sorry.
Im in Yurop though.

Also, how much do you make with this? Like in a year?

Freya Allan and Henry Cavill, the two actors form the upcoming ''The Witcher series'' on Netflix.

Is any of this automated or automatable?

idk but she just ovulated all over that couch

roasties literally don't care as long as you're hot or rich or famous and he's got it all

What? Did you see that look at the end? She doesn't like this guy lol

Holy fuck. That man is the physical embodiment of the chad meme.

She's 17 btw.

also, do you do offerup, letgo or craigslist? isn't there a lot of overhead in terms of space for storage and money in inventory?

No, I don't do local sales. You don't need a lot of money to start. Just sell stuff around your house to get some capital. Only buy fast nickels when you start out, then you can eventually incorporate some slow dimes with higher margins. I use my basement for storage, so no cost there. Buy small things if your space is limited. And it's not necessarily automated, you have to keep replenishing your inventory, but I could take a week off and not see a dip in sales.

42k net last year, which was my first year full time. Looking at $50k this year. It's not a lot, but it's freedom and I really enjoy it. I could scale with employees but I don't want that.

yeh dude she doesnt like him duh totally

No. You'll work 14 hours a day for minimum wage

Ha

fwiw, I sell a little bit on eBay. I've sold stuff around the house, and I have a good eye for finding used books (esp expensive college books), hardware, and some other little things. I've been searching for higher liquidity items (fast nickels), but ultimately this ends up taking up a lot of space for me (I don't have much space, that's partly why I like the college books - higher margins, lower space).

Offerup and Letgo aren't restricted to local sales, fyi. Just wondering, I don't use those either but was curious. And about the automation, I guess what I was really asking is how much of your searching you've automated via rss or saved searches, so you know when an interesting item pops on your radar.

shit nice returns user. I probably do less than 1k/year, I gotta step it up. I've got another side project I'm working currently, and after it's p and running I was plannign on going harder here. How much time do you spend / week on this?

I don't really do saved searches or any kind of online arbitrage. It's certainly possible, but I love going to sales and I have way too much unlisted inventory as it is. Last year was about 50 hours per week since I had to basically start from scratch. This year I cut that in half to about 25-30 per week. The hardest part is building that pipeline in the beginning to get consistent sales.

He is a Chad

Also, how do you really get to know what's worth much and what isn't, if you cant focus on one area that you're somewhat of an expert on? Like i dont know much about clothing.

I do geek items. You will have to master sourcing and very few people will give up the secrets. Also Fuck Greedwill stores.

it's not weird at all. are 17 year old women really that repulsive to you?

Become a jack of all trades. Pick a new ebay category every day and look at sold used listings over a certain price point, sorted by most recent. Learn what the good brands and trends are. Watch haul videos. If you see something interesting, look up comps on your phone. When I first started, I thought I'd have a hard time finding stuff to sell, and in the beginning I did, but the more I learned and the better I got I realized that there is money everywhere. It's not a get rich quick scheme, you actually have to put in a lot of work in the beginning to learn the market.

>50 hours / week
>25-30 / week
The latter isn't so bad. I'm only interested in doing this more than I currently do if I can automate almost all of it. That was a software project I was working on previously, actually, and intend to pick up again once I have time. Ideally I would just spend an hour eveery day or week looking at a feed of potential items with high margins and liquidity, and deciding pass or buy, and the buys would be immediately and automatically relisted. I know a bit of automation with Selenium and Python, but last time it got to the point where I was gonna have to nose dive into ML to make it work. Sounds comfy tho
