How to flip

Four steps. One afternoon. Real money.

01

Study the flip patterns

Use the cheat sheet examples and pricing guidance to learn which dorm items are usually underpriced and worth scouting locally.

02

Scout items near campus

Search close to campus, verify condition and pickup details, then move fast only when the margin works.

03

Quick clean & photo

Wipe it down, take 3-4 good photos in natural light. Five minutes of effort that doubles the resale value.

04

Relist & sell to incoming students

Post it on Marketplace at the fair resale price. Most items sell within hours — especially during move-in season.

Pro Tips

Maximize your margins

Timing

Move-out season (May–June) is the cheapest time to buy. Move-in season (Aug–Sept) is the most profitable time to sell.

Presentation

A quick wipe-down and 3-4 well-lit photos can double your resale price versus a dusty item with a dark, blurry shot.

Size

Stick to items you can carry alone or with one friend. No trucks, no hassle. Shelves, desks, and chairs are perfect.

Pricing

Price 10–15% below retail but well above what you paid. Buyers feel like they're getting a deal — and you're still making 3–5x.
