June 24, 2023- Update


Things are humming along since the last time I posted at the one year mark. I have sold five items and one got destroyed by my dog. I also purchased six items to get myself fully invested before the last two items I sold today and yesterday.

The first item I sold was two coffee cups by artists I bundled together for $16. I ended up making $6.42 on this flip which was 1.19 times what I paid for them. This was a good flip for me based on how quick it sold in about three weeks.

The second item I sold was the Dyson vacuum for $50 on craigslist. This was $31.06 in profit less my mileage to meet the person who bought. I like the flips on craigslist a lot because there aren’t any fees or shipping involved with the transaction. I made 1.64 times the amount I invested in this. These type of flips turning $19 in $50 really give me lot of good momentum forward. I’m trying to do more of these larger flips to keep the amount of items lower in my inventory.

The third item was my dog destroyed the Japanese doll I bought. He thought eating it was a better idea than me selling it. I learned a lesson that my dog could eat anything and to keep these type of things above where he can get to them. I lost $2.70 on this.

The fourth item, or third sold, was one of the six Granite cutting blades. I made $20.47 off of the blade. This is much less than I thought I would make on them when I first purchased them in April, but $20 of profit is a great flip for me and I am getting views on them pretty consistently. If I sell one of these a month moving forward then $20 a month in profit would be a good result.

Next, I sold a Peloton Heart Rate Monitor I bought on June 12th on June 23rd. I knew I could sell this quickly based on how many had sold in a month online. A quick $6.09 profit in 11 days is always a flip I will attempt to do at this level. However, as I continue to go I will move past doing these flips because the hourly rate is going to be too low.

The last item sold was the Roblox characters. I thought this was sell much quicker than it did, but a profitable flip is always my goal. I made $.82 which is a win, and the annual rate on this is over 38%. That type of return is why flipping works from a small amount.

Purchases

I ended up purchasing three sheet sets, another Dyson vacuum, and a coffee cup. I’ve sold lots of sheets over the years as a main way I’ve flipped items to make money. I am at a level to start trying these based on some of the larger profit amounts I’ve made. I think sheets could be a main way for me to get to $1000 from where I am now, but I will see.

After my succes with the first Dyson vacuum I’m trying another one. I found a similar coffee cup selling for $30 online, and the coffee cup only cost me $2.70.

I underinvested by $16.57 right now and may hold off until I can buy an item that is at least $20 and I can make $20 off of.

June 6, 2023 – Year One Finished Update


One year ago I decided to take the change I had in my change jar and see what I could do if I were to buy items with it and try to flip it into something larger. One year later I count where I am at as a big success to have started from the small amount of $36.38.

First, my last update I sold another item, the new hard drive, on May 27th. I did not end up getting the big score I hoped but still made $11.61 profit on it after selling it for $20 plus shipping. The Santa cookie jar was broken in shipping and I filed a claim with the carrier insurance. I was reimbursed for the item and the shipping amount which made cookie jar more profitable ironically. I earned an additional $15.41 for the refund of the shipping. This is the first time I’ve ever had to file a claim myself for an item with insurance. I don’t expect this to occur again. As well, I bought four more items to get me close to being fully invested. I bought three pairs of Nike shoes and two coffee cups.

Summary of the year

I am a numbers person so I will walk through the numbers of the year’s progression.

Initial Starting Amount: $36.38

Number of Items Sold Year One: 30

Largest Profit Made on One Item in Year One: $39.85

Smallest Profit or Biggest Loss on One Item in Year One: $-3.78 (Item broke)

Number of Items Sold I Made Money On: 27

Number of Items Sold I Lost Money On: 3

Currenty Total Inventory Possible: $384.35- Over 10.5 times what I started with!

Total Profit in Year One: $347.97

Current Number of Items in Inventory: 41

Average Profit on Items Sold: $11.60

Approximate Number of Hours Needed: 15- I was spending no more than ten minutes to find items when I buy them. To pack and ship takes me around ten minutes, as well.

Approximate Hourly rate: $23.19

Overall level of satisfaction with this: 10 out of 10 in Year One

Where to Go From Here

My goal moving forward for the next year of this is going to be to try and get $1000 worth of inventory to sell. If I can get to this level in two years I should be able to reliably make $50 a month off of it without much trouble. I’ve had this happen already with the inventory level I am at already, but it has not been consistent. Fifty dollars a month would be something where this could pay a recurring bill or even better start putting this amount away each month to build up for passive income in the future at retirement or some over life event, if I take the money out on a consistent basis.

I’m going to try and keep my inventory item amount low while building up to $1000. This is going to require me to keep moving up my average amount I have invested in my flips while maintaining the percentage I want to make off of them. This will be a little harder as I go up in item value. I also don’t want to limit myself either in what I am doing with this, so I could change my mind. There are a multiple paths I could go down to show how someone could make money from where I am at with flipping. At the end of the day I am enjoying doing this and will keep on change jar flipping away.

May 21, 2023- Three Sales


On Friday I sold three items in my inventory. They were the BOSE Alarm clock, Airequipt projector, and the Christmas Cookie jar. I made a profit on all of thiese items and they were all bought in April which keeps me moving in a good direction for possibly having ten times the amount I started with on May 6th of last year. This is a great result from what I started with whether I hit ten times my initial amount or not.

I had big hopes for the Bose Alarm clock but once I got the remote I found out the CD player did not work consistently. I had to order a second remote because when I ordered the first replacement remote the company sent me two Roku remotes instead. The second remote cost me more then the first one I had ordered. I listed it to get my money back and a couple of bucks after the cost of the alarm and remote were all included. I ended up making $2.63 of profit on top of the alarm clock and the remote. Still a win and at just over a month holding the item and this is fine by me, because I can now reinvest the $41 into another item and try for a nice sized win.

I learned I don’t know the shipping amounts to be charging on the larger items though. Normally, I have boxes around the house from things which get delivered to handle shipping things out. This time I did have one box which would have worked for the projector but once I calculated the shipping for it I would have lost money to send the item out. I ended up going and buying a different boxes which were square to fit the projector and cookie jar. They both were about $6 a box which is way to much to be paying because I was not prepared to ship them. In the future I would need to have more boxes available for larger items so I don’t get caught having to buy them. As well, I need to make sure I have accurate weights on the larger items when I go to sell. I took a guess on the cookie jar at three pounds and it ended up at last eight pounds to ship out. The good thing is I am buying at good prices and when I make a mistake I am still in a good spot to make money either way.

Airequipt sold May 19, 2023

I ended up making $25.65 on the projector when it was all said and done. Yet another great flip for me in this experiment. Almost 2.5 times as much as I paid in a month equals a crazy ROI again. I will attempt to take the $36 and put it all into another item I can hopefully double my money on again. I learned from this and the Bose alarm that they are both high in demand items with lots of interest. If I see either of them again I will know to pick them up at the right price.

The Christmas cookie jar was a good flip too. I made almost three times the amount I bought it for in just around a month too. I’ll try and take the $20 I have and put it into one item to flip and double like the other two.

I am currently sitting at $357.33 in possible overall inventory. I am $320.95 of profit in just under a year. I’m excited to see if I will get to $363.80 by June 6th. I need just one decent sale and I would likely pass that total.

I bought a casserole dish on 5/17 for $8.11 when I saw I was going to sell the projector to try and keep myself fully invested. I will need to buy a lot more though at this point I need to reinvest $90.73 to be fully invested again.

May 5, 2023- Sale and Inventory Update


Since April 23rd I’ve had one sale on craigslist of the the Yamaha Receiver for $40. I bought it for $14.71 and made $25.29 in profit. This is another good flip for me and is 69% of the amount I started with at the beginning of the change jar flip experiment. This is such a win in my mind for taking a small amount and trying to build it into something bigger.

Yamaha Receiver

I took the total amount from that one flip and intentionally tried to roll into into one other item. I found a pair of shoes online which looked like I could have a good potential to make another 50% plus on the total amount. It is going to take a week or so for me to get the shoes and then I’ll get them listed online and see how long it takes to flip these pair of shoes. I paid $37.86 for the pair of shoes, and with at least a 50% profit margin on them I would end up with $56.79. If I can keep up this amount on the next successive item I can build the $14.71 into a pretty big amount fairly quickly.

I also picked up three other items: a Dyson vaccum cleaner, Christmas cookie jar, and Japanese doll. These three items totaled $27.94 in cost with the Dyson costing me $18.94. I got the Dyson by purchasing it online, like the shoes, but had to wait a while to be able to pick it up. I have listed it online at $75 on craigslist, and based on what I saw this puts me under the average price I’ve seen it sell at and it is about 50% of retail new. This is another good potential flip. The cookie jar and Japanese doll are both within my criteria to be able to double my money on the flips.

At this point I am $314.88 in inventory possible, with only $.53 uninvested. Again, I am really happy with what is going on with the small amount I started with and where I am at. I could pivot in a couple of directions and try to specialize in a certain type of item and just keep buying it over and over if I wanted. However, I am going to try and keep going up the cost amount to take my inventory to a higher and higher levels. The reason I feel this way is because I am not trying create a monthly income off of what I am doing.

If I had the goal of pulling out a certain amount a month I would take the first option and start buying the same type of item over and over with a known amount of gross margin. Then I would just continue building up the inventory amount, because I know I could sell those items so much it would be consistent.

This is what I did for years with books. I sold into the tens of thousands of books. It is something anyone can do with an item if you understand the market of what you are selling. It involves running an actual business, or side hustle. I enjoyed it for a long time, and liked the freedom of making a decent amount of money on the side.

Like I have said in other blog posts, if you continue to think you can build up something good from a small amount of money. I still read other people’s blogs to this day to discover other thoughts about effective ways to flip. Never stop learning and thinking.

April 23, 2023 – Another Sale


I sold the Flower Vase for $46 in just over a week. I made a mistake on the amount of shipping I needed for it, but still ended up making as much money as the item I bought. The amount of profit on the flower vase was $16.07 in 9 days. This is another phenomenal flip for me because I’m able to go reinvest the money very quickly again.

I went out a couple of days after I sold the flower vase to try and find an item with the amount I had to get another double on what I have to reinvest. I found two potential good flips, one was a handheld steam cleaner and another was an older tape deck receiver.

Flower Vase
Flower Vase

I looked at the market for both of them and the tape deck was a very big potential flip for me. It costs $27.70, and I saw a couple that had sold for over $250. I took the tape deck home and tested it out. Unfortunately, it did not work properly.

In this scenario I can take it to get fixed, or return the item. I choose the second option because I don’t have any idea what it would cost me to get it fixed. I could have also figured out how to fix it. There is always a way to maximize the potential resell, if you want put in the time

However, I’m not looking to learn to fix it at this flip price point, or pay someone to fix, because I don’t think it’s worth the effort and money yet. It certainly could get to the point where it’s worth it for me to fix an item.

For example, if I could buy a guitar for $500 that sold for $1500, and needed $300 of repairs I would certainly do that. This may well happen as I continue to move along in my flipping journey.

After returning the item I need to reinvest $35.20 to be fully invested. I’m creeping up on a year of my changejarflip experiment and am excited to see where I’ll be in that amount of time.

I’ve been doing some thinking and research for where I’m going to try and focus moving forward with the thoughts of how I want to do this. My goals are to not grow the number of items I have in my inventory beyond what I currently have, and maximize the potential profit I’m making on the limited number of items I’ll have in my inventory. The is so much potential in this as I continue to move forward.

April 13, 2023- Inventory Update


I have taken the time to get myself almost fully invested again with inventory. I bought eight separate items, with one of them having six of the same item.

The first item bought was a granite cutting blade and I found six of them, brand new. I paid a total of $48.65 for the six of them, or $8.11 each. These type of blades retail for over $50 new online. When all six of these sell it could turn into $200 profit from them alone. I continue to find great deals at Goodwill, and this one will hopefully not dissappoint as they are sold.

The next item I got was a TI BA II plus calculator for $5.94. I bought this because I have used this type of calculator since college and they are really great for what they do. As well, it looked like I could make around 50% on my money on this flip and there were a decent amount of them sold recently.

On the same visit there was a floral, gold looking vase I picked up. It is an interesting looking vase and I found a match for it on the manufacturer’s website for $70 retail. I bought it for $13.52, or 20% of retail, which has worked out for me based on percentages many times. I have found if I can buy for under 25% of retail the majority of the time I will be able sell an item an make money. I can normally list it for 50% of retail and get a sale out of it. This is not always the case, but with something in very good condition as long as the market is not flooded it is a fairly safe flip.

The fourth item I bought was a slide projector for $11.46. I have never flipped a projector before, but looking online some of this brand, Airequipt, sale for over $60, if they work properly. This is another good potential flip for me and could bring in over $35 in profit, when it sales.

The fifth and sixth items I bought were on a hunch they could be worth enough to make them flips. I normally like to be able to confirm my flips are going to be reasonable when I buy them, because it reduces the amount of risk I am taking. Every once in a while though I will buy without researching to see if I can select something purely off of a hunch. At this point in flipping as many items as I have since I started I wanted to see if I could pick a couple which would make money. I won’t do this often, but a large part of what I am doing at this point is making sure I am enjoying flipping items. I did research on them once I had time and the first one was a perfume bottle I paid $8.11 for, and the second is a crystal bowl with inlaid red designs I paid $5.94 for. I have both of them listed to be able to double my money on them. I don’t know the manufacturer for them and I will see what happens. Based on my research I have a better chance of making more on the bowl than the perfume bottle.

The seventh item was a candle holder by the same manufacturer I have bought in changejarflip.com and knew the range of amounts they sell for. I paid $3.78 and have it price to double my money. It is a Traumlicht candle holder.

The last item is a BOSE alarm clock which sales for over $125 online used. I had to buy a remote to go with it and am waiting for it so I can sell the parts of it all together. I spent $32.99 for the BOSE and remote. I’ve never bought the additional parts for something like this before, but had no way to tell if it worked without one. If it does not function properly I can still sell it and make a little bit of profit either way. If it does work I can turn my $33 into over $100.

I am underinvested by $5.61 currently and am not going to go look for more items till something else sales. I like to be able to have at least $20 to reinvest each time at this point in case I find a higher cost item to flip. As well, the number of items in my inventory is about as large as I want it to be. I have 38 items for sale right now and don’t want to get anymore. I just don’t want to end up having things I am selling take up a bunch of space.
