Looking for ideas to make side hustle money or extra cash? You’ve clicked on over…so you must be wondering how it’s possible that I’m able to work from home part time and make such a healthy side income by flipping garage sale and thrift store items? How can I possibly average $1000 per month buying things from garage sales and thrift stores and reselling?
I’m here to show you and tell you it is possible! And it’s a nice little side hustle for those willing to commit the time. Most who do this know this as “flipping” or “flipping for profit” but it can also be known as retail arbitrage.
We aren’t practicing retail arbitrage in the traditional sense (where you buy clearance items from big box stores and resell them for a small profit on Amazon, Ebay, Poshmark or Etsy). We want to buy items in new or like new condition from garage sales and thrift stores to resell to others who don’t have the time to look good deals.
We want to buy our items WAY cheaper and flip them for more profit than traditional retail arbitrage allows for. Also, we don’t want to share our profits with anyone else through crazy listing fees and commissions!
What if I told you ANYONE with the drive and motivation can do this There aren’t any special skills or education needed and you won’t need a huge up front investment to get started.
This side income starts paying you within a few weeks of jumping in.
Unlike some of the side hustles you see on Pinterest, Facebook or the internet…you won’t be selling in some multilevel marketing scheme or hocking ugly stretchy pants. You won’t have to wait months or years to see an income (I’m looking at you internet blogging o_O).
You also won’t have to make anything, ship anything or pay exorbitant listing/seller fees on places like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy or Poshmark.
You’ll be the boss and decide your hours. I call this a side hustle but there’s no reason it couldn’t be your primary hustle if you have the ability or time to commit to it. Here’s my profit total for the last 30 days:
I’ve been thrift store and garage sale flipping successfully for many years. I never really thought about it being a skill that someone would want to learn. That was until I saw a slew of people creating “side hustle” schemes which rope unsuspecting individuals. Individuals who were just trying to make a little extra money from home.
Remember, LulaRoe? Mary Kay? Pampered Chef? Bloggers trying to get you to start blogging? These are just schemes are disguised as “side hustles”. They only provide an income for a handful of people…and you, the salesperson get a minuscule percentage of your sales.
I saw close friends getting sucked into these schemes over and over again only to quit them in a few months. As soon as they realized the actual scheme and how much they made…they were outta there.
I started teaching my friends what I do. Now they are making WAY more money. I asked for a testimonial from one of them on my methodology…
My thrift store/garage sale flipping methodology gives you complete control over what you flip. Complete control of your schedule and complete control over how much you make.
You won’t be forced to sell to friends and family. You won’t have to exploit your social network for sales. You can quit anytime and start back up again when you want.
If you follow my methods the profit margins average at 100%.
Making an extra $1000 a month is really possible on a part time basis. And it’s not some sort of multi-level marketing scheme, pyramid scheme or make money online scheme.
Let’s be 100% clear, this isn’t a path to millionaire status. It’s a convenient way to work from home doing something you probably already enjoy and creating extra income for you and your family.
Need extra money for a family vacation? Want to contribute to the family income while still being at home with the kids? Saving up for a home or big expenditure? This can help you!
Now, thrift store and garage sale flipping may not be for everyone. You need to have, or be willing to learn a few simple skills. Below are what you need to take on this side hustle.
So how many were you able to check off? If you didn’t check it off are you willing to take a little time and learn how to do it? If so, let’s continue!
