flipped a baby stroller

I bought a baby stroller for $5 at a garage sale and sold it for $20.  It had some damage on the handle and had to wipe it up but overall in great condition. It took me about a week to flip and ended up selling it to someone who lived 5 minutes away so it was a very convenient transaction.

Flipped A Garage Sale Carseat

I bought an Eddie Bauer Car seat at a garage sale two weekends ago for $5 and flipped it on Craigslist for $35. That's $30 more than what I got it for which equals to a 700% earning on my investment.  Thank you local garage sales and Craigslist! By the way, I always research the going price on Craigslist and come up with a fair and equitable price before listing.

Flipped A Media Center Shelf

I bought a media center shelf as I call it because not sure what else it would be considered.  I walked around this garage sale that was set up on a driveway and came across this media shelf. It didn't even cross my mind that I would buy it but out of curiosity I touched it as it was unique.  An older woman who was running the yard sale quickly told me it was $10 if I wanted it. She was definitely not someone I could see as an owner who would value such a modern piece of furniture and therefore the reason for the cheap price I guess.  Well I bought it and flipped it on Craigslist for $35. It took me about a week though and probably because I couldn't figure out what to title it to attract the right viewers.

Garage Sale find Fish Tank Aquarium

I found this fish tank at a garage sale.  I didn't really think anything of it at first because I don't need one since our fish are in a bigger one already.  However, my 10 year old daughter said she wanted it so she could have fish in her own room. I asked how much and the older woman said $5 so I continued looking around, then, the woman asked me if I would take it for $2. I turned around and said, "yes".  It is brand new and has never been used but had been sitting in her garage. It came with a brand new filter, aquarium decor and brand new rocks. I am guessing it was originally purchased for around $40.

Flipped A Desk

I bought a desk from a garage sale about a year ago for $10 and sold it today for $50.  Nice profit, can't complain. Thank you Craigslist!

Flipped A Baby Changing Table

Baby Changing Table Garage Sale Flip
I bought this baby changing table at a garage sale for $5 and turned around and flipped it shortly after for $35. I probably could have gotten more for it but it's okay. It's very nice but my daughter is 3 and no longer wears diapers so I didn't keep it.
