If you have not started experimenting with Ebay flipping or Craigslist flipping, then what are you waiting for? You can make a ton of easy money with very little effort involved! If you are new to Ebay flipping – check out my flipping for profit section. Read on to see what my all-time best Ebay flip so far has been – I made 4300% profit!
Ebay Flipping – Source of Goods
The usual mission objective here is to get your materials to flip from the cheapest place possible. In nearly all cases, this is yard sales! You will be very hard pressed to find something cheaper than what you can bargain for at your neighborhood yard sale.
In this case of my all-time best Ebay flip so far, I found my item for $0.50. No negotiation was required in this case. The only downside here was that I got the item at about 7am 🙁 I many cases, if you are going to flip on Ebay or Craigslist for the highest possible profit you have to be the early bird!
Ebay Flipping – Highest Profit Items
You can flip just about any item on Ebay or Craiglist if you can find a good enough deal. The basic premise is that you’ll buy low and sell high – just like investing in the stock market. The key to identifying a good deal is knowing the item in question and what you can normally sell it for.
I have had luck with some of the following items – some times items are priced so low it is a pretty minimal risk to give the flipping of it a chance. I have placed them in a relative order with the best profits at the top of the list.
- Video Games – Wii, PSP, Xbox, etc.
- Guitars
- Guitar Amps
- Vera Bradley and Thirty One Purses
- Soccer Cleats
- Pokemon Cards and Other Tradeable Cards
As you can see, video games can fetch some of the largest percentage profits. In terms of overall most money in your pocket, larger items such as guitars and guitar amps tend to do the best. These can also be flipped on Craigslist since they are so big!
My All-Time Best Ebay Flip So Far – 4300% Profit
I have flipped hundreds of items on Ebay over the years. So, what has been my all-time best Ebay flip so far? I was able to make a 4,300% profit by finding a PSP Dragon Ball Z game for $0.50 and selling it for $21.99 on Ebay. That is a profit of ~4,300%!
It took all of about 10 minutes of work to buy the item and list it on Ebay. That is the equivalent of making ~$130 an hour. Not too shabby 🙂

Brock – haha. Bring it! I got a video card for free recently from a yard sale, so if I sell that for $80 that means my return is infinity percent :-)!!!
