Episode seventy two, Flipping Frugally. Welcome to the Frugal Friends podcast, where you'll learn to save money, embrace simplicity rights, and live a rich your life. Here your host Jen and Jill with that thing. Welcome to the Frugal Friends podcast. My name is Jen, my name is Jill, and we are excited about this episode. It is one that we have gotten a listener request for. And the more I get into it, the more I think my husband Travis should probably be on the show instead of me, because I he uses all of these tactics for flipping things from yard sales, script stores, even from Facebook marketplace to make a profit. And we're going to share those tips with you today. I'm gonna get into it. Yes, but first we want to talk about our Fruital Friends meet up tomorrow tomorrow in Washington, d C. We're so excited to meet some of you in person at Calorama Park in Washington, d C. Tomorrow, September seven, at five thirty pm. We are going to hang out, play the playground with children and eat some food that we bring ourselves. Expect nothing other than frugality to be happening. Yes, We're We're really not investing anything into this meetup and we're just going to show up and hang out and chat and it's gonna be fun. So Tomorrow, September seven p m. Calorama Park in Washington, d C. Tell your friends, and we really hope to see out there. See you there. Yes, and our sponsors who make it happen, who pay for our trip to Washington, d C. Not really, but kind of we wish. Yes, also brought to you by buying and selling. The trick with this sponsor is the selling part. Most of us can get on board with the buying, but the payoff comes from selling that thing or something else at a greater amount than your purchase. This comes in handy when trying to avoid hoarding, when attempting your hand at a side hustle, or when trying to get your spouse off your back about all the hobby equipment you're purchasing. Just say, don't worry, babe, I'm selling other stuff. Buying and selling, saving marriages and bank accounts since the beginning. Yes, if it weren't for the selling, we would be in a bind here. The two have to be in a symbiotic relationship for this to work. Yes, completely symbiotic. Speaking of buying and selling, Yeah, this is not a side hustle that I have ever well, that I have ever wanted to try. I have now tried my hand at it, and we will hear about that later, but this has never been something that I have been super interested in. I am really on board with the buying part, but just I buy less so I don't worried about selling and I can feel good about my buying and not worry about the money. This is something that I do enjoy doing, although I have seen first hand a lot of the pitfalls with it, so I will talk about that in this episode, but certainly something to consider on the side. Yes, Travis, my husband, however, this is his jam. Um. He loves browsing thrift stores, going to yard sales. He is on Facebook Marketplace more than he is actually on Facebook, and he loves my ending treasures, and in order to find more treasures, he has to sell things before he can bring things in. That's kind of our role. Now. One of his favorite things to buy is cars, and he loves buying cars off of Facebook Marketplace, but he does it in a way that he kind of pretty much breaks even with his car purchases and motorcycle purchases. So that's kind of use it for a time and then sell it again. Yes, so that's the extent of my knowledge. But we looked at some experts on the subject and look through a few of their articles. We're going to share kind of what to look for, how to do it, want to avoid. So this first one is from online selling experiment dot com and it is flipping one oh one. So, Jill, what did you like about this one? Great tips in this article and something that they point out that I also love is that when flipping things, you can start at any price point. So if you're asking how much money do I need to get started, really anything even zero. So the article talks about a flipping challenge that they would even recommend for people who want to kind of get into this, where you would start with five things that you already own to sell, so there is no purchasing of anything from the start, just kind of identifying things around your home that you can sell and allow the sales of those things to be your quote unquote seed money that you can then invest at a small degree on other things that you could then flip for a profit. The thing with flipping is that you're not just breaking even. The goal is to actually earn more money off of that thing than what you paid for it, and maybe even what you put into it to make it look better or nicer. So that's the goal, not just to be spending time buying and selling things. Yeah, we've all heard of that challenge where the guy starts with the paper clip and then just trades up um and eventually he ends up with something big, like a car. That was his goal was to see if he could get from a paper clip to a car, and yeah, dude got to a car. Spent no money. So I love this idea of a zero buy in and then only using the money that you get off of that to to grow and build. One of my problems with doing side households and building businesses, I have trouble putting money back into it. So I think starting with the mindset of at first I'm going to spend everything I make but not invest outside money, I think that even helps you grow a flipping business faster and definitely more safe. So I love that idea. And you can also begin free as well by just being aware of what's on the side of the curb. Especially in the summer, like spring summer time when people are doing yard sales, and after the yard sales they just put stuff out for free. So that can be a helpful way to find some some decent stuff that you could flip that you picked up on the side of the road. Yeah. Another way to get free things, um is in your buy nothing group. So I actually witnessed this gone wrong recently in the group. Somebody got something for free and then listed in Facebook marketplace and somebody found it and got really Yeah, I got really upset. Didn't take time to hear the story behind it. It was for they were trying to build a counseling service for kids with autism stuff and the love seat that they got ended up having a broken leg. So instead of giving it away, they tried to sell it for a little money and you know, put that back into that business. But people were getting mad without ever hearing the story. So I would recommend if you're going to do something like that, being honest, Like if you see something that's being given away for free and you think that you could, you know, really spruce it up, like a piece of furniture or something and resell it. Just be honest about it and and don't kind of don't try and hide that because that can magnifire on you. Yeah, it's definitely not etiquette to get something from a buy nothing group and then turn around and sell it. But if you're honest about it, people might be willing to but they could choose somebody else if they know that that's your intention. Um, so be aware of that. But even free things on Craigslist, I don't think anybody's really expecting you to not. I think it's more there's more freedom to do what you want if you just get something for free off of Craigslist or Facebook marketplace versus the buy nothing group. There's a bit more etiquette involved there for sure, and then they're starting with paying just a little bit. So you definitely want to learn how to look at things and see how you can make your max profit. So the places that you would be looking to find cheap items would be garage sales, auctions, state sales, thrift stores, flea markets. And we're talking about not the trashy like made in China bulk stuff that's at the flea market, but the flea market has like a thrift store side that would be kind of the place to look UM and then Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and other community based apps UM like next door or something. So those are a really good way to find sometimes free items, but mostly you're gonna be paying for them, just not very much. When you're looking at these places. If you are confused as to whether something is cheap, whether something is a good dealer not, you can really easily go to um eBay dot com or the app and you can search for completed items and sold items, and you can see what things are actually sold for. So you don't want to see what things are listed. You want to see what they're selling for, and that's how you're gonna be able to tell if what you're buying is a good deal. UM. Sometimes you can even see recently sold things on Facebook Marketplace, or you can message people and say is it still available, and if they say no, then you kind of know, like how much it was either sold for what they listed for or a little bit less. And that's a big pitfall. I think a lot of people will just look up and see, oh, other people have it listed for this amount. But like you said, if it's not selling for that amount, then don't think you can get that amount off of it, So definitely be aware of what it's actually selling for and the version of the thing that you have, because sometimes we can also look something up but it's a different addition or it's better quality and that's why they're getting that amount. So it does require some honing in of this skill of assessing value, knowing what you can get for something. And with this flipping thing, there's kind of there's a couple of different angles to it or ways to approach it. You could just find something where the person selling it doesn't fully know the real value of it, or they are aware, but they would just want to get it out of their hands. In that case, you may need to do nothing to the thing, just turn it around and sell it for more than what you bought it for. In other instances, it could be that you see potential in a thing, you buy it, you have to clean it up, either you need to put some elbow grease into it, or you need to actually put some resource into it, whether that's a fresh coat of paint or new legs or whatever it is that you know, if it's furniture, that you're actually maybe putting a bit of money into it. And then selling it for not only more than what you bought it for, but also more than what you're the cost of fixing that thing up. So different degrees of what the flipping involves, but we're talking about it all right now. Never like, never forget the cost of actually improving the item, so whether it's paints, stains, tools, because that has to be factored in to the deal. So if there's a really good deal on something, um but it just needs too much work to be worth the profit, then you may have to pass and move on to something that maybe not as good of a deal but needs less work. And some great places to sell these things once you've purchased, you've done you you've added your touch to it would be to look to sell on Craigslist, Facebook market places for Facebook Marketplace, but also yard sales sites Facebook if you're a part of local yard sales, side by and cell groups, eBay, Amazon. Also you've got your apps like offer up or let go, So these are some places that you could try to sell your items. Yeah, if you're flipping like brand name clothing, then posh mark look at the different outlets that are the best at selling specific things. There is a couple that makes a killing on flipping things because they will flip large items and ship through eBay. So that's what they specialize in and they know what they're doing. So look at what sites are selling what well, and then you will have your best chance of making the most profit by listing your item in that marketplace. So there's also Etsy two if it's something that's a little craft sier, our vintage. Um, so yeah, don't just list everything on Craigslist or marketplace. Try and hone in on where it's going to sell for the most money. So I want to mention this is not in the article. This is your my own slice of wisdom on this. So some of the pitfalls things to be aware of when flipping is Number one, that you have the space for these things. If you are starting to collect, well, first of all, I would just say go slowly before you kind of dive into getting a bunch of stuff, make sure that it works. Make sure you you've got an eye for these things that you're able to sell before you're spending a ton of money on just purchasing stuff. But then make sure that you've got the space for it. So, especially if you're looking to do larger things like some furniture, even small furniture, that you've got a spot for it, and that you're not just hoarding a bunch of stuff. Also, it's it can be a pitfall where things might not be worth what you thought they were or they're broken. So doing your best to make sure that something is working before you buy it, doing your research on what is this thing actually worth? What could I actually sell it for, which we already talked about. Also keeping in mind your time investment. Sometimes we can think, oh, look at I flipped that furniture for fifty bucks, But if you spent twenty hours on it, was that really a good flip? So paying attention to how much time you're putting into something. Another pitfall here is just is not selling it, not not being able to sell it, which sometimes we can't always know that ahead of time and you might lose money on something. But to be able to keep track of that of what things are selling, what things aren't selling. And another pitfall would just be liking the thing that you picked up and not selling it and instead keeping it, which that's okay every once in a while, but you're if you're finding a pattern, then you might want to back off on thinking that you're starting aside hustle and really you might just be starting a collection. Yeah, oh my gosh, bitten there those are all great. And to figure out how much something is worth again searching online, like Jen said, looking at what things have actually sold for and recognizing that just because something might be worth a lot brand new, does not mean that is worth anywhere close to that now that it's been used. So just be realistic and be realistic about others expectations like on Facebook, Marketplace or buy sell groups. On Facebook, people are looking for yard sale or garage prices. So to think that you're going to flip this piece of furniture and sell something for three fifty dollars is probably not realistic. People are not going onto those sites looking for boutique pricing. Yeah, so they are more I think, more willing to look at boutique pricing on eBay. Yeah, where you're selling it can make all the difference, yeah, for sure. And so now that we have talked about how to sell, let's talk about what to sell. So this article is from like to Dapple dot com and it is the easiest items to flip from drift stores etcetera. So, Jill, what's your input on this one? Yeah, interesting things that they listed of what to sell. I wouldn't disagree with it. I don't think that it's an exhaustive list by any means. One thing that I would definitely agree with They listed out six things. Number one is designer brands. So absolutely people are always looking for designer brands. So if you pick up a nice Patagonia vest at a yard sale, absolutely you can probably flip that, particularly on a site like posh Mark or maybe even Facebook Marketplace for a decent percentage more and what you paid. So. Second thing, collectibles, So this is especially great if you have a passion for a certain type of collectible. They mentioned Beanie babies, funco pop like things. They're just little action figures, fury Bones, American girl dolls. So if you if you like something but it may be overrunning your house, or you can't afford a full collection, or you don't want a full collection, this is really something that you can focus on and hone in on because you'll be able to know what is most profitable and um, you know what you'll and you'll enjoy doing the research on what you can get the most money for versus you know, something boring to you that you won't like doing the research on. That's key, you do have to like the thing. They also list records as being decent things to flip. I have not tried this, so I couldn't personally speak to this, but I suppose it's possible. I think records are becoming more popular amongst hashtag millennials, So if you do find some some nice records on well known bands, it could be worth looking at. Probably eBay would be your best bet for something like that, kind of similar to the idea of collectibles, that people might be looking for specific records and especially if it's in good condition. Yeah, might be decent, but again you've got to be interested in it. If you're not interested in records and you're trying to learn all about what people are looking for, then it might be a bit more difficult. Yeah, if you're not a record nerd, that's not one for you to start with, because honestly, they're really hard to find records nowadays that are affordable because everybody thinks their records are worth money. So that's the first thing people check for if they or their parents are there, your parents have records because everybody thinks that there's is worth something, so it's really rare to find one that's just being thrown out at a yard sale. You really have to know your stuff, and it takes time to figure out what's worth something, so you kind of have to go in knowing that stuff. One that you don't have to know a lot about is the next one. Furniture, because people half the time don't care about the history. They just want it to look good. They don't care if it's actually from the mid century, but if it's a mid century modern look like, they'll buy it. Yeah. I will say furniture has been hit or miss for me, so I wouldn't put a whole lot of time or money into this if you're just getting into it. And I would also say start small, as in coffee tables, end tables, chairs, that kind of thing, stools before taking a deep dive. Um. We'll talk about ails at the end, but I've had some furniture fails. Uh, And I'll explain a little bit of why I think that was towards the end of the episode. But I think my best my best advice here is to start small and do pairs. So if you're looking at an end table, people are more likely to buy a pair of end tables than just one, So I would say don't even invest your money, even if it's a cool end table. I mean, unless it's super cheap, sure try it, but I've I've had much better luck when I've been able to sell things in pairs, particularly with end tables, So just keep that in mind of well, what would you want. If there's just one cool chair, you're less likely to sell it then if you have a set of cool chairs. And they also list board games, so again, this is another one I have not dabbled in, but possibly especially since people are super interested in vintage stuff right now, things that might remind them their childhood. So your classic board games like Monopoly and Dominoes and things like that, um could be worth more than what you might pick them up for at a yard sale. But again, if you're not interested in it, then don't try to get into the super niche thing. Yeah, so this would be a really good one for a board game lover because the example they give on here is that they just bought a Star Wars edition of Monopoly, the Office edition, and then they bought it for twenty bucks, and then two years later that same board game was listed for seventy dollars on eBay. And yeah, and so sometimes it's just that there's a limited run of a special edition and you buy two, don't open one, and then in a few years when someone's like, oh man, they made that, I wish I could buy that, they'll pay a premium for it when they find it online. That's what you've got to sit on it. And that's the pitfall is that there are so many people who keep things because they're like, it's gonna be worth money. It's gonna be worth money, you know, the Beanie Baby saga. Yeah, which that's debatable on whether or not that whole thing worked out, But there is a fine line here with this whole flipping thing is that it can get into hoarding territory, which is the opposite of the minimalism lifestyle that we definitely support. Yeah, and then the last one is video games and consoles. So again this is when you really have to know about because some games are worth a lot, some are worth nothing, And they could have the same characters or ones for this gaming console and once for another, and one is worth a lot of money, and one's not worth anything. So it's if you enjoy gaming and game consoles, then this is a good one to go. But I wouldn't invest a lot of money. The author said is they re sold like hotcakes on Craigslist and they made about a hundred dollars each on the PS two and three consoles. You know, text your kids pictures if you run into something and you think it might be worth KEEPS three we're on PS. Sorry mom, Well you know what we're not sorry about. The bill of That's right, it's time for the best minute of your entire week. Maybe a baby was born and his name is William. Maybe you paid off your mortgage. Maybe your car died and you're happy to not have to pay that bill anymore. That build buffalo bills, Bill Clinton, this is the bill of the week. Hi, Jen and Gael. My bill of the week might sound like a bit of a stretch here, but stick with me. My bill of the week is my rescue greyhound who's named Willie. I think that adopting a rescue animal is definitely the most frugal way to get a loving new pet. Willie is an ex racing greyhound, so he went from living a sad and lonely life in his kennel to lounging around on our couch, eating snacks on cheese and getting all the pats and cuddles that he can handle. So not only did we save hundreds of dollars by not having to buy a pure bred dog, We've given this beautiful, graceful animal a wonderful new life, and I think we're all pretty happy for it. The morrow of the story here Adopt, don't shop. Thanks frugal friends. Lots of love from Australia. Bye yea Christie that is not a stretch at all, and his name is Willie. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing. I think in a previous episode I showed that my nickname is is Willie. My grandmother calls me Willie. So me and greyhound Man we got a lot in common. I love greyhounds. We personally had a greyhound racing track near my house. So a lot of adopted greyhounds in this area, and I love them so and I think they're they've just abolished racing and so now they're all looking for homes, and so I really want one. But and thanks for calling us from Australia. Yes, Christie, that's all the way. All of our listeners to Australia shout out who we'd love to come to a meetup in Australia right If we could raise money for that, we just have to be a lot of lucrative sponsors. Yeah, like not pennies, but someday. If you are one of our friends in Australia or America or anywhere, please give us a call at Frugal Friends podcast dot com slash ill and leave us your bill of the week. We would love to hear from you across all ponds and waters. Good one, Jen, And on that note, it's time for ground. Oh god, it felt it felt, it felt right at first, and then it felt wrong. Yeah, it's really just an experiment on what I can do with my voice. I'm glad that you have a spaced practice, a safe space over here. Yeah, safe with our thousands of listeners there. I do forget that. I just feel like I'm in a bedroom alone right now, but I'm not. Apparently. Well, let's talk about our flipping fails and triumphs. Jen, Yes, we flipped and we failed, and we've flipped and we've won. Yeah, and we're going to share what worked, what didn't, and why we think that they worked and didn't. So my first will start with my fail And so we flipped last year a fifth wheel RV and it was we were inspired by Jill and Eric to do this and on Instagram a lot of r V renovation pictures. So I thought that because we were frugal and savvy, we could get this r V. We went with the largest r V that we could find. It was thirty eight feet for slideouts. It was humongous, and that we would flip it frugally, got a what I thought was a good deal turned out to be average. We didn't overpay, but we shouldn't have paid what we did, and couldn't sell it because it was so big and so specialized that it wasn't marketable to the general public. And it was also older and people wanted newer because some sites have age restrictions for our views and it didn't fit those and I didn't know that when we bought it. Um So there's a lot of things that we didn't know, and we got in too big, too fast, and we ended up selling it and we broke even maybe made a couple of hundred dollars, but for all of the work we put into it, um, it was just not worth it and all of the time it's spent. It just we bought it in May Have two eighteen and it just got picked up um And so that was a big fail. But we didn't lose money, and sometimes you have to lose money in order to learn lessons that big so I'll take it. But we did have some smaller winds. Probably our biggest one was a king size bedroom set and Travis found it on Marketplace, didn't ask me before he bought it and just bought it for I think it was a hundred bucks and it was way too big for our bedroom. It was king size, but all of the furniture was huge, and there were a few things cosmetically wrong with it, but it was a full set, so it had the short dresser, the tall dresser, the mirror, the headboard, and he scuffed out some of those imperfections, made it look pretty and ended up selling it for four hundred did maybe like fifteen twenty minutes of work, so that was a really big win. People do love sets, so some of my fails. One was a hutch that I bought it was very It was a mid century hutch, so to me, super beautiful. I got it at a drift store for about thirty five dollars, so very inexpensive, and then I redid it, in my mind, very beautifully, kind of stand in different parts. Did some white paint accents on different parts of this mid century hutch, had like awesome sliding glass on the top, drawers and cabinets on the bottom, mid century legs. Love it. Tried to sell it, tried to I spend a lot of time fixing it up, tried to sell it, sell it, sell it. Eventually I did use it because I liked it so much. Then circled back to try to sell it again, and people just weren't in the market for it for whatever reason. Um, So we ended up just donating it to a local thrift store because we didn't have the space to store it I think, I mean, we live in a hundred seventy square feet, so we can't use it right now, and it wasn't worth it to us to put it into storage, so we ended up just giving it away. So not a huge loss, but I did. But as far as time goes, I spent a lot of time refurbishing it, and I think some of the pitfalls with that was Number one, people just aren't as interested in massive furniture, particularly hutches, despite the fact that it was beautiful. I think the upcoming generation in purchasing homes and furnishing their places are not as interested in some of these more dated pieces, even though it's mid century, which people are into. I don't think people are utilizing hutches as much as they were. I also think I didn't have the time to be as patient with it, probably in a couple of Like if I had waited a long time, I might have been able to sell it, but I didn't have the storage for something so large. So that's why I always recommend small um just for your own storage sake. But people are more likely to purchase something if they don't have to borrow a friend's truck or figure out dimensions and whether or not it will fit in their minivan. Like, it's just a whole lot more complicated to figure out selling large things. Also, our boat a relative fail a relati to win. But Eric and his dad intended on flipping a boat that they found for a really good price, and what actually happened was we all fell in love with it and never sold it. So we still have it and we do enjoy it most weekends of the summer. But that was not a flip whatsoever. That was just a purchase. Yeah, we've been out on that boat. It's fun. It is fun. Yeah, So I'm grateful for finding a new I don't know, hobby, but definitely wasn't a flip, and that's what they said it was going to be. That's okay. Some my winds uh coffee tables. I don't know why, maybe it's just our area, but people have bought a lot of different coffee tables that we've done. I picked up one for two dollars at a thrift store, restained it, repainted it, and ended up selling it for seventy dollars. So that was an awesome flip. And then another one that was like an old chest, you know that, like a big old do you know what I'm talking about? Like that you might have packed all your belongings in on the Mayflower kind of luck, like an antique chat trunk, thank you, And we just added legs to it and sold that for like two hundred fifty dollars, which was amazing. Yeah, and small things, dishes, kitchen ware. I would say another one of my big tips is anything that you can do a porch pick up with where when you're selling it on marketplace or on a yard sale site, that it's a low enough cost that if it gets stolen, okay, But you can do quicker flips on small things when it's not like you've got to meet up with the person in the Walmart parking lot. That's you can waste a ton of time trying to meet people. So if you're comfortable enough with small things to do porch pickups with, that could be a quick turnaround on money. And of course, as Jen mentioned, our r V was an amazing flip. We got to live in it and then we sold it at a profit, which ended up paying for my master's degree. So that was a big flip that turned out real nice for us, not just in basically free living, but also making a profit. So we're doing it again. You were you were patient, and it took a little while to sell it did, but you were able to sell it real well. I'm hoping that the one we live in currently will be less difficult to sell because it is smaller and it is newer it's a two thousand and fifteen so I think if we sell it within a year that we'll do decent on that. But we'll update you' all on that one. Yes, yes, So moral of the story. Start small and you have a better chance of succeeding long term. And if you're interested in flipping um and you'd like to take like an actual course on it and have access to like experts and stuff, there's a site called Flea Market flipper dot com and they actually have a Flipper university. So if you go to Frugal Friends podcast dot com slash flip, you can check out their courses and see. I mean that's if you can't if you really need someone to hold your hand and you really want acts, if you're really excited about this and want access to experts like that is the benefit of taking a course. Um. So you don't need it, um, But if this is something you you would really love to get into and um talk to real experts about, then definitely Frugal Friends podcast dot com slash flip and you can check out those they're Yeah. I would encourage people too that it's okay to be an opportunist with this. You don't have to label yourself as a flipper to just even do this once. If you come across something that you know is worth something, it doesn't mean that now you've got to keep doing this, Just do it once. I did this on chairs one time, Like I'm trying to get out of it because I don't have storage for things. But I found these amazing hairs for ten dollars. But I knew I could get way more, and sure enough I got fifty dollars a piece for them. I got a set of four of them. So even if you're going going around shopping and you realize that I might be able to do this just one time, great and go have a date night with that money, or go out with your friends whatever. Just doing a one off thing if you find something could be a great idea. Yeah, but be sure that it's worth something before you Yeah, by it? Good word. Yes. Speaking of hoarding and a bunch of stuff this September are Frugal Friends book club book is The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker. We have read The More of Less by Joshua Becker, had him on the show. He is fantastic and I was inspired by what y'all are reading in the Frugal Friends community group, somebody was reading The Minimalist Home and I was like, we need to do that in the book club. So thank you. I can't remember who it was, but you inspired this September book club book and we will be giving it away. And if you want an opportunity to win a free copy, here's how you do it. Leave us a review on iTunes or Stitcher, then screenshot that review and email it to us at Frugal Friends Podcast at gmail dot com. We select winners at the end of the month and it is based off of how many people submit a review to us. So the key here is emailing it to us, and we give it away one book for every five reviews that are submitted. And if you want an example of a great review that is helpful, we've got one from lx boicago Um and it's hashtag the Best.
