High-margin categories with real profit benchmarks. Sourced from active flippers, updated as markets shift.

Footwear

Limited releases and deadstock pairs move fast on StockX and eBay. Focus on hyped drops and colorways under retails.

Sourcing tip: Look in the back of thrift stores — staff rarely check footwear. Size tags fade fast so knowing US/EU conversions helps. Target men 8-11, women 6-8 for fastest moves.

Electronics

Gaming Consoles & Accessories

Retro consoles and lightly used accessories have strong demand year-round. Condition matters more than completeness.

Sourcing tip: Always test before buying — bring a power strip and HDMI cable. Missing cables kill the margin. Bundle loose accessories with a console sale for +$20-40.

Fashion

Vintage Clothing

Workwear, 90s sportswear, and deadstock vintage command 3-5x what you pay. Learn the brands and labels.

Home Goods

Furniture

Mid-century and mid-range solid wood pieces flip reliably. Focus on pieces that need light cleaning, not full restoration.

Sourcing tip: Bring a tape measure — knowing dimensions helps you quote confidently. Solid wood beats particle board every time. FB Marketplace local pickup beats shipping on bulky items.
