A Quick Textbook Flip Trip

August 9, 2015 by Nathan Holmquist 2 Comments

I bought these five textbooks for $140 on Craigslist. I listed them on Amazon on August 1st.

Here are the sales within 10 days.

  • Words Their Way: Sold for $44.51 on 8/7/15
  • Educational Psychology: Sold for $110 on 8/8/15
  • Anatomy and Physiology: Sold for $210 on 8/8/15

Total Sales: 364.51
Fees ($67.72)
Costs ($140)

Profit: $156.79

This is an example of a quick $150+ profit for less than an hour of work. It took 30 minutes to meet in a public place and less than 15 minutes to list on Amazon.
