The wonderful world of thrift store flipping allows quite a few people to supplement (or even replace) their full-time income simply by finding the best things to buy and sell for profit.
Below is a list of a few of the better items to flip, in this growing market. But, take the time to do a little research to make sure your money is going into the right things before you dive into thrift store flipping.
1. Upholstered Furniture - One of the most valuable items in the world of thrift store flipping seems to be upholstered furniture such as chairs, sofas, or tables.
2. First Edition Books and Classic Novels - Even with the rising popularity and prevalence of ebooks, there is still a major market for consumers searching for traditional paperback and hardback books.
3. Record Players - Classic turntables and record players are still big hits for nostalgic consumers interested in the quality sound created by this type of equipment. Make sure it works.
4. Classic Records - Since record players are some of the best items to flip for thrift store flipping enthusiasts, it makes sense that classic records and even record sleeves would also generate a big profit. It is important to focus on the popularity of the artist along with the rarity of the record when selecting which ones to purchase.
5. Classic Board Games - Think of your favorite classic board games — such as Clue and Monopoly. If you find any of the original versions of these games, you can flip them for a major profit. Stay away from the newer remakes and revamped editions, because you will be disappointed by resale value.
6. Vintage Pyrex Dishes and Cookware - You may not see a lot of Pyrex dishes and cookware in your search for thrift store flipping items. There is a good reason for that: supply and demand. Vintage Pyrex cookware items still generate a good buzz among antique lovers and fans of other vintage products who associate these items with their mom’s home cooking in times gone by. Make sure that the items are in good condition before you make any purchases.
8. Classic Lego Collections - LEGO is a brand that has truly survived the test of time successfully. However, even this brand’s collections have changed in structure and design over the years. If you manage to find a vintage set of old-fashioned Lego pieces and sets, you can generate a nice-sized profit by flipping them.
