A recent post on Reddit from user Oregonwholesale…

📝 He writes…

Couch flipping has changed my life and is so simple to do. If you have a truck you can pick up unwanted couches from Facebook and offer up and as long as you know what to look for in these couches secure massive profits for them by offering free delivery.

The important bit here is “unwanted couches”, which means people are wanting to sell it off for cheap as soon as possible, or even give it away for free.

You basically find such deals on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, snap them up and then resell online for a profit 😎

The 2 key things that help you sell at a higher price…

  • Take good quality photos for the new listing
  • Offer free delivery

It’s a business model anyone can do that has a truck and ambition. I do this part time when I want to pick up couches, I run a carpet cleaning business full time. But couches make more.

💬 Someone responded in the comments…

I did this before. It works with a huge margin but it can never scale unless you expand. That’s where the profit started eroding.

Reply from Oregonwholesale…

Yeah I feel like I have capped myself at 3500 a week. I can’t go any higher than that.

He adds

I CONSISTENTLY sell 4-5 couches a week at 500$ profits sometimes even more. And this is working part time. I’m definitely able to make it work, doing it Solo.

So it’s not the most scalable business and obviously a big part of it is offline, but it sounds like $10,000 monthly profit is doable if you live in a decent-sized metropolitan area and execute well 👍
