<p>Years ago, people are flipping houses. Now, you see many shows about picking and buying storage units etc. Do you do any flipping?</p>

<p>On the side, I have been some flipping of camera equipments. I buy Nikon equipments both from eBay and Craiglist. A good cleaning, some minor repair, and use of high end packaging are the three key things I do for resale. I want to impress the buyer with the condition of equipment. Another strategy is to buy a package and sell individual item. </p>

<p>I have been doing 100% Craiglist selling. Because I want the buyer to check the gear out first. Most of the time, becaue I prepare the gears so well, they took a look and pay me the money without any problem. </p>

<p>Only two times I lost some $$. The first one because I did not know how to check a manual lens and got cheated by the seller. The second time because DW accidentaly knocked the lens hard so I had to sell it for parts.</p>

<p>Bad part of selling on Craiglist is that everyone soon knows you and make low offers because they know you are flipping.</p>

<p>I flip books. Pick them up at thrift stores, library sales, garage sales, freebies from friends. Then I sell them online. Thankfully, I have many bookshelves in my home, so plenty of space to store them .</p>
