You’ve probably heard of flipping houses, but this one is easier! couch flipping.
Hi everyone, another day another Dollar lets make money!. We are going to talk about Flipping Furniture more specifically Couch Flipping, this is a surprisingly profitable side hustle. In fact, you could make a full-time income if you put the time and effort, and the best part you decide how much you want to make as profit.
Flipping Couches is an underrated side hustle, no many people know about and no many are doing it, this means low competition and greater chance of turning this side hustle into a full-time business.
Another great factor about flipping couches, is that many people give them away for FREE, the main reasons being because they bought new ones or they just don’t want them anymore, this means 100% profit for you. You can also flip furniture using the same strategy, here is how you can start flipping couches and furniture.
Step #1.- Find your inventory, you can use terms like sofa, couch, and sectional, the best places to find cheap items are:
- Facebook Marketplace
- Craigslist
- Garage sales
- OfferUp
- Letgo
- The side of the road, this is totally free!
Step #2.- Make offers and always negotiate the price, used couches are always negotiable, the seller is usually in the position of not wanting them any more, that means that he/she can always accept a slightly lower price, a good rule of thumb is to stay in the $100-$200 range to maximize your profit and sell your item faster.
Step #3.- Pick up your sectionals and clean them up, if you own a truck, great or else you’ll need to borrow one, check out Pinterest for tips on cleaning couches.
Step #4.- Take high quality pictures, after you’ve cleaned up the sectional you need to take pictures, make sure to take high quality pictures, this is one of the most important steps, you need to stand out from other people’s posts. Good pictures is the secret to succeed in this side hustle.
Step #5.- Post your sectional for sale on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, etc. Mark up the price a few hundred dollars from what you originally paid, example if you paid $80 Dollars post it for $200, as I mentioned before, price on used items are always negotiable, people rarely pay the asking price, make sure you have enough room to adjust the price and make a good profit, a Pro tip is to offer free local delivery, offering free delivery will get you a sale much faster.
Step #6.- Make a sale and repeat the process again.
