<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 1940002, member: 39129"]I'm an antique dealer by trade, so my job is flipping things. It's fun to visit estate sales and by virtue of your own knowledge be able to identify something and resell it for profit. But more recently the market has been overwhelmed with like minded individuals who've seen how much money the pawn stars/american pickers/storage wars folks were making and decided to do it too. And armed with a smartphone & working knowledge of eBay you really can "be your own boss & work from home" as all the how-to books claim, but unfortunately when everyone becomes a dealer the market gets flooded pretty quickly. End of rant! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the last 6-months though, I have been flipping coins full time with a fair rate of success. The baseball HOF release greatly helped the bottom line, but bad photo flips of quality classics has been very nice. A couple of months were very lean, but last week I took in $1,5k in profit on $3k in sales (16 coins) and am quite pleased with that rate of return. I'd love to do that every week, but it's not going to happen lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
