How to flip it.
And what it's worth this week.
One page per thing worth flipping: how to tell it's the right one, what to check before you pay, the scams, the message, where it sells. The numbers on every page come from the desk that runs the app — what it sells for, the ceiling, how fast it leaves the market in Salt Lake City — and refresh every week.

How to flip
Start here
Your first flip, in seven days
A week from never having done this to cash in hand. One category, one unit, one rule: never pay above the ceiling.
Ten minutes that save the deal
Inspect in person
The order of checks that catches every common failure, what to bring, and the one rule about paying.
Where, when, how
Meet safely
Flipping is meeting strangers with cash. Here is how experienced flippers make that boring.
The number, the message, the walk
Negotiate
You are not haggling. You are stating a fair number backed by what the unit sells for, and being willing to leave.
Where the money actually lands
Sell it
Local cash, eBay net, trade-in floors — and the photos and title that make a unit sell in days instead of weeks.
The boring part that keeps the money
The ledger, and taxes
Write every flip down. Know what is income. Keep the receipts. This is not tax advice; it is what every flipper wishes they had done from the first unit.

Flip a used car
The biggest ticket on Marketplace and the one with real legal weight. Title, lien, VIN, inspection, the state's limit on how many you can sell. Done right it is a $1,000–2,500 flip; done wrong it is a lawsuit.

Flip furniture
Free and near-free furniture is everywhere; most of it is worth nothing. The flip is knowing the twenty names and the three constructions that are worth a truck trip, and pricing from what actually sells.
Something else you want to flip?
A camera, a bike, a couch, a drill, a car you have your eye on. Ask and it goes on the list. The ones people ask for get written first, and the ones the desk can price get live ceilings in the app.
