how to flip furniture for a profit *garage sale edition*

Just a reminder, just because something is listed for a certain price on eBay (for example) does not mean it’s worth that much. Ebay has a “sold” feature where you can see how much said product has sold for, if it even sold at all! Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it! In the end, it’s worth pricing your piece a bit lower than what everyone else lists it for and losing out on 10% compared to the item sitting in your house for months or even years just waiting to be sold and shipped (trust me). Happy hunting!

Super cool video! Just want to mention that styling the table top might give an impression that you’re hiding a stain or something… so always include a pic of the full top. (ALL my furniture is from fb marketplace so I say this as a professional 😆)

Yes, always include measurements in ads. Saves everyone a lot of time. I scroll past ads that don't include measurements

for pleather you can further smooth ridges with acetone since it melts the plastic a little. It prevents further peatling and months it. You could also refill the patches and use other pleather to give the correct texture. There was more to do that could increase resell profit

Those Rollerskates are litterally the same ones that Becky considered buying in the mcm decorating for Christmas video

I think it might be cool for people to stop commenting on the eyebrows! It's never nice to feel picked apart based on physical appearance on the regular, regardless of whether it's positive or negative! 💜

Little tip about that style of skates (that not a ton of people know about): The little knob on the toe of the skate is essentially a brake. It’s called a “toe stop.” So if you are rolling all over the place and can’t stop, stand on that and it’ll stop you. My sister has played roller derby for around 20 years and taught me how to skate in them. The more you know! Tiny tip: If you plan on using it to stop you, do it with pads on until you’re used to it. Doesn’t take much effort to make you also fall flat on your face.

Oxalic acid might have worked better to remove those wood stains. I cringed when you sprayed bleach.

I absolutely love the white colour washed chest of drawers. It is a classic piece now, which will fit into our modern day interiors, perfectly!

Good to see your eyebrows again, I missed them 😂 I bet Rachel's mom is happy again 😂

THANK YOU for reminding everyone to include measurements on furniture pieces!!! I’ve been on the hunt for a cabinet/wardrobe to repurpose as a cabinet to conceal my electrical panel & I can’t believe how many are listed without measurements 😩 Great finds & I miss roller skating days…because I’m 53 and did it ALL THE TIME as a kid/teen!!! 😜

Your videos are always the perfect blend of fun and professional. I love this series!

This is the best series periodt amen

Im so jealous you guys have garage sales 😭😭 in my country (Poland) and where I live now (Japan) they don't exist 😭 looks really fun!

You did a great job on this video: the information you provided and what you did with the pieces were very well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

RACHEL, WITH THE GRAIN!!!!!

Amazing work Rachael! You donate proceeds to charity using sustainable practices! 👏 Bravo!

Im very surprised those chairs sold for more than the side table.. in my mind those are old dungy school chairs that I now see in old community halls that would probably go for $5 most (even with the red paint) but i guess that goes to show who your market is (a city like Ontario might see them as uniquely vintage, whereas my small town would see them as cheap old chairs lol)

A lot of mid century furniture ends up being pressed wood with a beautiful veneer. Still durable and profitable pieces to consider.

Some really great tips!! Thank you ❤ I loved this episode. It was cool seeing you hunt at garage sales and then update them in the same video!! Streamlined and an easy watch!
