What are you having success flipping right now? What are items you avoid
I've been experimenting with oversized items because people tend to not sell them as much and I've gotten good at packing large things safely. I like selling electronics even broken ones to keep them out of the landfill. I've got a stack of hard drives I need to wipe and sell

Same with electronics, just stay away from VCRs because scammers buy them and swap out parts then sell on Amazon. I always sell those on FB marketplace. I haven't done any flipping in awhile and have a pretty big death pile at this point. I'm sitting on a few hundred new old stock vacuum tubes that I need to go through and probably do a bulk sale as most of them aren't worth very much. Other than that my most recent sale was a AGP Nvidia quattro card from my personal collection that I sold for nearly $200. Iirc I paid about $30 for it a few years ago before people were really aware of them for vintage builds.
Here's an idea I had while browsing Craigslist for a stationary bike.
People ditch these for nothing or next to nothing and if you Google the model number on the ones with screens, there's a good chance you'll find an eBay/other auction - often with bids - for JUST the screens. And they ain't cheap.
The most expensive bike I saw was $100 and the screens ranged from $100 to $350!
Granted, now you've got a screenless bike you have to deal with...but still, I was quite surprised to see people were buying the screens
Nice tip!
