Any flippers on /biz/?

I just made $160 reselling some sportsball tickets.

What do you flip?

I sell children into child sex slavery. Export them from the USA and into Asia. Asian wealth will pay a hefty some for a nice blonde girl with blue eyes. Risky business but great money.

I do the auctions. My university sells off pallets of shit and I just lost it on eBay. Just did the preview for Tuesday’s auction and they have a pallet of microscopes that should make me a large chunk. Another pallet had some 3D printers. Another is a large format printer. Another is 2 Dell Optiplexes with i5/i7

Planning on buying all I can within 70% margins. Usually find some sleeps lots that I can 100x on

I’m thinking of going to my bank and asking for rolls of half dollars and then selling off the silver ones. All quarters dimes and half dollars before 1965 are 90% silver and half dollars between 65 and 70 are 40% silver.

Do you get the cars titled in your name before reselling them?

I've also read some states have limits on the number of cars you can own a year before having to get a dealers license. Is there a work around?

>> No.10666623

>>10666566
Just dont register the car. You save taxes. The only downside is people get weary that its a scam or they hate that youre flipping. Also people dont have that much money so cars under 5k are the best. Ive only ever made money on flipping cars altbough i have a body shop so i have a huge advantage

>> No.10666631

>>10666486
Wel it’s always worth a shot. Half dollars never really make heavy circulation, businesses don’t ask for them to make change. It’s possible they may have some rolls that were brought in more recently from people trying to get rid of their parents coins.

This worked well like 15 to 20 years ago. Not so much now. Source: old fag who used to do this. I'm Canadian and also used to do it with pennies. I'd buy hundred of dollars of rolls of pennies and while at the office I would break them open and remove the copper pennies which were worth like 1.5 cents. Thank God I'm rich now

I flip mostly student books, bicycles, and powertools. know the market well and have good places to unload my stuff. Nl. Universities.

I also flip some antiques or furniture, but only if I'm certain to be able to get a profit on those. The trick with those is that you can buy them online or on flea markets, but always go to IRL auctions, the kind of auctions stuffed with old people that don't use the internet.

Example: bought this violin for 60€ at a 2nd hand store, sold for 720€ in an auction

A tip I have for you guys is to hang around in local Facebook groups with names such as Free stuff (City name), Second hand (City Name), ... Every city has these. People will often post offers to come remove their entire eg. kitchens, or to just empty an entire house they just bought.

>> No.10667557

>>10667542
That's what I usually do if I want extra cash. I check the free groups to see what people are tossing out. I'll go and grab stuff during the week and then on the weekend list it for $5-$20. Usually make about $400-$500.

Oh, and if you flip, you can go to Ebay's advanced search and search for succesfully sold auctions of your item, to get an idea of the market price (and demand)

Other violin in pic I still have to sell, got held back once at an earlier auction at 280€ (I wanted 350+)

>>10667557
That's dope. I have a fleamarket in my city where people sell, among alot of stuff (stolen?) bikes. I say stolen, because why the fuck can I buy mint condition looking bikes with retail prices around the 750€ for like 100€ off of some crackheads? And for antiques, the muslims never know what they have either.

Sold the axe at an auction for 300, bought for 85.
I'm actually wondering about shipping WW1 & 2 paraphernalia overseas. Old uniforms, bayonets, sabres, helmets, insignias, decorative guns are cheap and plentiful here in Europe, especially close to where the action was.

But is that one military? The ones I have seen are a lot smaller with a longer throat. Seems to be more like farm equipment. Got any more military stuff?

I only have an, old and rare bayonet, picked up from a body after my grandfather went looting after some skirmish. He's 90 now.

He was a bit of a collaborator, and he's got some nazi uniforms, flags and some insignias in his attic. I haven't seen him for years, barely know him.

But there's plenty of militaria easily available on local craigslists, eg. https://www.2dehands.be/winkel/d_c_militaria/ there's plenty of guys like this (sorry this site is only in NL/FR).

And the non-professional vendors can ALWAYS be bargained with, and ask lower prices to boot.

I don't know. all of my research led me to believe it was an executioner's axe, forged in 1880-1920. It's not meant to cut wood, and too impractical and heavy for military use. I came upon some executioner's axes which had similar shapes, and thus found out that the blades of such axes were very wide, so that the neck couldn't really be missed. The axe (the head alone weighed 3,7 kg) was heavy, so that the weight would carry the force of the blow. The head, after all had to roll after one blow.

Now, the guillotine was invented in 1870 and largely replaced executions by axe, although they still occured in smaller cities & villages in eg. France aswell as western Germany up until as late as the 1920's.

I found some notions of a smith that could have forged it, who lived around that period, not all too far from where I am, but I could never have been certain. (He had the same name as a watermark on the axe)

It's interesting how rich the histories of common objects can be.
