1. Set Up Your Radar
Download Facebook Marketplace + Nextdoor. Enable notifications for “free” in your city. Join 5–10 local buy/sell groups. Check twice daily (morning + evening).
2. Know What Flips Fast
Top items that sell in 1–7 days: sofas/armchairs, dining tables/chairs, bikes (especially kids), washing machines/dryers, desks/office chairs, baby items (strollers, cribs), tools/lawnmowers. Avoid broken TVs, old mattresses (too heavy, no demand).
3. Message Instantly
Reply within 2 minutes: “Hi, is this still available? I can pick up today/tomorrow.” Be first — 90% go in the first hour.
4. Pick Up Same Day
Offer “I can come right now”. Bring van/trailer if possible. Cash ready (£20–£50) — people love it even for free items.
5. Clean and Repair
Wipe with wet cloth + polish. Fix small things (tighten screws, oil hinges). Takes 30–60 minutes — doubles selling price.
6. Take Killer Photos
Daylight, clean background, 8–10 angles. Title: “Like New IKEA Dining Table – Free Delivery in [City]”.
7. Price 2–5x What You “Paid”
Free sofa → sell £150–£400. People pay for convenience + clean condition.
8. Post on Multiple Platforms
Facebook Marketplace + eBay + Gumtree + local groups. Same photos, same price. First come first served.
9. Meet Safely + Get Paid Cash
Public place (parking lot). Cash only. No PayPal — no chargebacks.
10. Reinvest First £500
Buy van/trailer or petrol card. Scale to 3–5 flips/week = £2000–£5000/month.
