298: $100k a Year Flipping Random Items: The Return of the Flea Market Flipper

<p>Rob is a professional "money multiplier."</p> <p>The good news, he says, is it's a skill that can be learned.</p> <p>You might remember Rob "<a href="https://fleamarketflipper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Flea Market Flipper</a>" Stephenson from <a href= "https://www.sidehustlenation.com/flea-market-flipping/">episode 147</a> in late 2015. At that time, he was earning $30,000-$40,000 a year flipping random products on the side from his day job.</p> <p>Since then, the father of 3 has taken his buy low, sell high model and turned it into <strong>a full-time 6-figure operation.</strong></p> <p>Rob doesn’t discriminate what the products are he’s flipping, as long as he can pick it up for a great price he’ll flip it.</p> <p>I can’t blame him, since some of these single deals are worth thousands of dollars in profit. In fact, Rob only buys items he estimates he can 10x when he flips them.</p> <p>Since we last spoke Rob has fine-tuned his processes for finding and flipping items. He still hits the flea markets weekly, but he also uses some interesting tools and apps to find more items.</p> <p>He’s also found a way to save big on shipping cost, enabling him to go after bulky items with even bigger markups.</p> <p>In this “where are they now” episode, I invited Rob back to learn how he scaled up his business, what his buying criteria or flipping process looks like today, and what he’s got cooking next.</p>
