| Flipping Items on Ebay 12:03 - Aug 23 with 1485 views | westwalesed |
I'm always one for finding a few extra quid here and there, more as a hobby to be honest.
I'm thinking of getting into flipping - where you buy something off (say) Gumtree and then sell it on Ebay for a higher price.
Anyone got any experience of this? |  |

Unless you have something exceptionally collectable, eBay is very much a buyers’ market.
Even then, it’s a bit hit and miss - a record in the same condition went for £499 and £820 in the space of about a month. An identical one on Discogs would cost you over a grand. |  | | |

Wife has been selling some stuff including clothes on eBay recently, to be honest the prices she is getting are low and it is definitely a buyers market. By the time you factor costs in re collecting the stuff on Gumtree you may not be making very little. | | | |

I have flipped collectables, but you have to know the market, the item, everything about it. Also eBay generally favors the buyer so you have to make sure everything is spot on. You can't just simply take an item and sell it, you have to make sure it is pictured/worded perfectly as from experience, a lot of the time you can tell the buyer is trying to think how he can buy the item then make a claim because something wasn't pictured, wasn't in the description, or turned up broke in some way. | | | |
