hi there this is a recent revolution
YouTube channel and I am the writer here
from through selling Instagram and thank
you for being here please like and
comment and subscribe on our channel and
our videos we'd like for you to binge
watch all of them please and comment and
let us know what you think we are here
to bring good content about reselling we

Central Standard Time so please do tune
and we talk all things reselling and
then we release videos throughout the
week about selling online on the major
platforms my video this week
is about the local flip so we do my
husband die a lot of local flipping I
have paid for many vacations and many
items around the house that I needed or
just inventory for my eBay business I
have used the art of the local flip to
raise capital to pay for garage sales
every weekend we tend to spend about 400
hours a weekend on garage sales or more
so that money doesn't just appear from
you know some sort of treating the back
yard we have to make that money so
flipping locally is a really good way to
make up money if you are starting a
small business and you need $5,000
capital or you want to pay for a
vacation or you just want to pay for
your kids soccer or put some food on the
table or whatever so local flipping is a
really good way to make money especially
if you have a little bit of time to go
find some awesome items of flip and sell
locally so I actually did local flipping
only before I even found eBay and I made
a few hundred dollars every week on my
local buy and sell all the time so yeah
you can do it too so this video is about
that and I talked about my four tips
about how to sell locally and to stay
safe
so these are my four tips so number one
is going to be safety so you've heard it
on the news stories but people like
getting you know hurt or stolen items or
whatever or you know people scattering
at your house for where you live to come
back and you know come back again when
you're not home or whatever so number
one is I would say be safe do not put a
profile picture of you and your small
children on your butt if there's a
profile picture just don't put something
like up there with a dog or whatever and
also make sure you meet up in a public
place as well lit so do not meet up with
someone at nighttime on me up during the
daytime a lot of police stations have a
safe zone so you meet police stations if
it's expensive item a Walmart parking
lot or a major store but never meet up
at night if you are a female I would be
extra cautious my husband deals a lot of
man cave man stuff that I do not deal
with so just be cautious just for your
own safety you don't want somebody
following you back to your house or
whatever so you just don't know the
Internet is an interesting place and you
have no idea
someone can pretend to be someone that
they're not so just be very very careful
and protect your safety never bring your
children along with you to and meet up
and just think about your overall safety
and number two is make sure the items
that you are buying that if you're
spending $10 you can always get your $10
back so you're buying the mixer for $10
and you think you can sell it for 70
make sure you can sell for $10 again if
you have to so just make sure you're
never losing money on whatever you're
buying so I always say to myself with
this coffee table is $5 can I get my
five bucks back okay good I'll buy it
so always think like that about pay for
everything you're buying I'll never pay
too much and just pay enough number
three is pick quality items
so make sure the items worked estimate
when you're there do not be afraid to
plug them in if you are sell a state so
make sure they work or a thrift store
make sure it's restaurants a good return
policy is electronics seven days or so
and make sure it has like no chips or
cracks or damage inspect every item
because you want to get top dollar for
it so always look over everything
number four is presentation matters I
know this is not a BSc cherish some
fancy online Pat platform but you do
want the most amount of money so people
cannot see past your crap so you have a
pile of dirty dishes your kitchen is a
tornado don't take pictures of an item
like the mixer on the kitchen counter
like dirty pots and pans people can't
see past the dirt try saw a baby item
don't put on your dirty carpet people
cannot see past dirt or grime or gross
nests so just make sure you have a clean
space you know if you're doing garage
items make sure it's on a clean garage
floor or against a clean wall or on the
grass or on the clean gravel whatever
just make sure it's clean if it's an
indoor item such as a table or a chair
or whatever just make sure it's a guest
nice clean space so someone can envision
it in their own house most people cannot
see past crap so just make sure photos
are nice and clean presentable
please also mention if you have a
smoke-free home people want to know it
does not smell like smoke I know for
myself if if it has smoke involved I
will not buy the item so just keep that
in mind if you do smoke disclose that so
those are my four top tips for reselling
locally and then now I'm going to get
into the items I have to show you so I'm
going to show you my items that we are
working on right now that we are selling
locally and you can kind of get some
ideas of what you could sell to so
please enjoy
[Music]
okay we grab this cabinet for $20 and
the state sale it is really large it's
about three feet tall and three feet
wide as metals it's fairly heavy so I
don't want to ship this it's a motor oil
Brad comps around $100 for a rusty one
but then making this new ones go for two
to three hours so we're not going to
greedy since we paid 20 bucks for this
we are just gonna ask $200 for it and
let it sit we will wait for the right
buyer because we see that in great
conditions so $200 these rooftop bags or
the hard black plastic tops that go on
top of vehicles to store items sell
really well this time of year because of
traveling just make sure if it is a
lockable device such as a bike lock or a
rooftop heart container it has the
matching key and lock because we found
them without that and it's really hard
to get a new one so I suppose you could
go on eBay or whatever but yeah so we
paid five bucks for this I'm gonna put
it out for 60 bucks locally on the buy
and sell and it should go pretty fast
[Music]
Spike's are a great local flip if you
can bring them home somehow this one
here was $10 it has a nice high
handlebar so it's going to be desirable
we find that men's bikes do very well
and look for bikes are a good condition
so they do not need new brakes or new
gears they're in pretty good condition I
think this one here might need new tires
but we'll just price it so the buyer can
do that themselves we're gonna price
this around $80 some bikes can go for
more if you can find higher-end mountain
bikes such as Kona or road bikes that
specialized you're of course gonna get
more money
so yeah I just look up the comps on eBay
and you're pretty much going about
locally for the bike
if it's a super high-end bike of course
you could sell online otherwise I would
do local by himself any kind of like
garden outdoor item or a stat shoe or
something that that can sell really well
locally we grabbed two of these water
fountains which were new off the local
buy and sell for forty bucks for two in
the middle of winter and we knew we
could sell them again in the summertime
so we are keeping one and we're selling
the other one for 50 bucks or more
they're pretty expensive actually to buy
new so and this one has never been used
as still has all the wires intact in
that we also grabbed this $10
mid-century fiberglass chair it's
nothing really special it's gonna go
from 80 bucks some mid-century Furniture
can go for a lot more money this one is
just a cheap local flip if it was price
rough hundred dollars I would apply to
try to sell it online but this is a
local sale
[Music]
I grabbed these weights for $15 at Value
Village I'm gonna put them out for 80
bucks for the pair they retail for $8 a
piece and I know that there are none
online right now for sale so they're
hard to find and I know an eBay they
sell for way more than that on eBay so
local sale that way I don't have to ship
Methos are pretty heavy art is a great
local flip so if you see some big glass
picture with a good print in it that's
worth money but you don't wash it the
glass pick it up and sell locally and
seeing which vintage art like these
pieces here are both this century again
I'm sorry one for 60 and the one behind
it I'm gonna put up for 60 as well
[Music]
all right so I'm in the kitchen we're at
our kitchen appliances and heavy
appliances so things like Kitchen Aid
mixers bread makers waffle makers you
know you pick it up and you're like this
is heavy well look and see if you can
save money on your buy and sell after
you pay taxes and fees on eBay if you
can think instead of buying it and
flipping it most stores have a return
policy of 7 days so you can take it back
if it doesn't work so just keep that in
mind this mixer here is a Margaritaville
blender mixer so this I got for $40 and
we're gonna flip it for 150 they can
sell to $200 on eBay but since I don't
have to pay any fees and it is very
heavy it probably weighs 8 pounds as is
by having the Box to me like 12 pounds
so yeah so local sale and summers here
so if you have any things like ice cream
makers milkshake makers this kind of
item they're gonna sell right now and
they will not sell in December so just
keep that in mind so yeah pretty thing
[Music]
these floral apps are really awesome but
to sell on eBay or Etsy they're going to
be quite large to ship and these are
usually a Aussie thrift stores in that
for like 10 dollars and I can sell it
for $2 each on Etsy but I'm gonna put
them out for like 120 locally the bigger
one that extends a little bit more I
just do not want a box these up gonna
ship them it's just again after how you
pay taxes and fees and I kept some pays
a high shipping I rather to sell locally
so another thing too is that your
presentation matters with this
mid-century stuff so you want to have it
in a space your home that looks very
clean and presentable the buyers still
buying with that modern aesthetic so
just try to keep in mind a picture
should be really clean and contemporary
for the top dollar mirrors mirrors do
very well locally just make sure that
doesn't have any major flaws with the
mirror otherwise you are good to go so
these are just hard plastic ones from
the 70s goldleaf ornate mirrors do very
well rattan is really in right now so
wicker kind of style mirrors and I
wrapped so yeah these were about five to
ten dollars each from yard sales and
myself for about $50 apiece locally
there are they large mirrors you can go
for hundreds I saw some pretty big ones
for good money locally and again I just
don't watch these shipping a mirror is
very it's just not fun so I'm gonna pass
on that and sell these on my local buy
and sell and these do not last very long
at all these tables here were ten
dollars apiece and I do not ship them
they are very heavy with a solid marble
tops so just make sure when you buy
these that they don't have any chips or
any major flaws or cracks and the bigger
one up up for around 60 and a smaller
one for around 50 so yeah don't be
afraid to pick up furniture if you can
flip it locally I am NOT beside my bar
cart but I have so many bar carts I do
not have one right now for sale but you
see one please buy it it will flip very
well locally and they're always in
demand
[Music]
high-end sewing machines do very well
locally you can get pretty much the same
as you're going to get eBay for them
they are sought after and if the buyer
knows they don't want to pay like 50
bucks shipping on them they'll buy it
locally so yeah do not hesitate to ask
for the ebay price on these - the
shipping so just make sure they work
make sure they come with
and the electrical cords and things like
that and they are working condition I
know you can get them service but it's
not cheap so just keep that in mind you
usually test them right at the thrift
stores if you see them or ID estate
sales or whatever these accordion style
sewing boxes do very well just make sure
they're good operating condition they're
pretty clean no major cracks or whatever
and that they are open and closed
properly and yeah easy 40 to 60 bucks
locally usually maybe more if it's in
really excellent condition 80 at most or
it's got like I've seen some with them
like embossed or and great you know
they're really like ornate those are
nice too if they say made in Sweden or
me in Denmark please do due diligence
and look it up custom are worth a lot of
money and they should actually go in
eBay I was supposed to sell us on Etsy
but I never listed it because I just
didn't want to ship it so this was $15 I
open up on the buy and sell for $100 if
you see any type of wicker or bamboo
kind of children's items such as like
little tables and chairs or rocking
horses or bigger rocking chairs for Mama
those items are really hard knocks the
hope Boheme nursery look so just keep
that in mind when you are looking at one
if I grab this Moses basket from bag
village for ten dollars I washed the
inside liner it's all clean
I'm gonna put out for about 50 bucks
they sell for a 70 but 50 is good for me
and no shipping so keep an eye out for
any wicker or rattan baby bassinet or
cradles right now it's a really hot
trendy item that's gonna sell quickly
especially this large classic storage
bin from I'm guess it spiked in the
seventies or so it's quite large he's a
good two and a half feet wide and tall
again I'm you know
ship this and IP 15 for a nihilist it
for a 60 bucks locally for buy and sell
so yeah these kind of big children's
storage containers there's even the
newer ones that will take so now there's
a football and stuff those do very well
as well locally so children's large
storage containers doggie items so bark
collars do very well for a local flip I
get to here I haven't checked the comps
but you know at least 20 bucks apiece
anymore some are very expensive same
thing with like gates dog gates are
really good or um you know these kind of
fence things because people go camping
they want to close their pet or whatever
so many reasons uh people buy these are
they having puppies or whatever I love
go get puppies in the summer times so
just keep that in mind and any large dog
crates if you see really good quality
one for cheap look up the brand because
it might flip really well locally and
they're not cheap to buy new so yeah
doggie items I hope that you some ideas
of what you could sell to locally on
your local buy and sell this season
please comment below if you have any
ideas or things that you're working on
or you did sell and last two weeks at
our local flips I'd love to hear about
them and please do all the things like I
said comment like and subscribe thank
you and have a nice day bye
