Is Chinese wholesale (dhgate/alibaba) to irl retailers profitable? it was a few years ago but with these new millennial shop owners they seem to know the routes.

I bought a coachella ticket almost two months ago for $500. I just sold it today for $600. It's not amazing but it's something.

Toner is good to flip, I worked with someone who would make 2-5k profit a month buying printer toner in eBay auctions and would then sell to local companies. He had his own delivery guy that would wear a shirt with their logo and paid him button because it was only 3-4 hours a day. Most companies either surplus buy toner or just buy it whenever it runs out.

Retro jukeboxes from the 60s/70s.

I sold 2 of these for $600 each and 1 was broken. Bought for $300. They were actually bought by another trader. Because they're so big you'll need a van and someone to help you load/unload them.

Antique record players. pic related.

For the right model/maker you can sell them for over 2k. it'll take a bit of hunting around to find one though. They're pretty easy to fix up and renovate too.

Car parts nigga. Break em down and sell the bits. I make a living off this shit. Been spending too much time on crypto as of late, because it's far more interesting, but just selling old inventory pays the bills.

Old Euro stuff primarily, but really anything with an enthusiast community around it. Diesel truck stuff works too. You're selling to people who do their own work, so you don't want commuter car bits (camry, accord, etc) because those people tend to just take their cars to a shop.

I got lucky getting into it. I started just flipping bits from the junkyard when I was between jobs. Just happened to get into my first house soon after, so I got the space to store/dismantle shit out of the neighbors view. I sell basically all the body panels for scrap, since shipping them is way too much hassle. Because of that, it really doesn't take as much space as you would imagine.

buying cheap used/played cards from YuGiOh and Magic the Gathering and selling them in NM(near mint/new) price to players and/or a little cheap but now cheaper than the initial investment to LGS.

Still can't believe small cards can have price tags of $20~$50 each. It's fucking unbelievable.

bought one BTC when it was $6k and then sold in $10k.
It was my only experience in cryptocoins and never tried to do the same again.

Snes carts. I bought some pretty rare ones like chrono trigger for 30 dollars and flipped it for 80. I recently sold my entire collection for about 800

What's the shipping process like on eBay? Isn't packaging clothes a hassle?

What sort of profit do you make per sale?
