We went to various Goodwill's, scanned barcodes on stuff to find out the prices on Amazon and flipped everything possible.

They're still going strong after I let them fly on their own... I don't dig in the finances, but that person supports a family of 5 on her own comfortably and with luxuries lol.
Yeah I made very good money flipping on ebay/amazon. Hell my very 1st week on Amazon I did $600 in sales. I can do it and not to brag but I'm very good at it, I'm just torn as far as the being stuck in one place.

What I will say, is the area you do it in matters a lot. Example if you're sourcing from thrift stores you have to be near a major city to get constant quality stuff and needs to be a city with good money.

For example, when I was based out of Denver it was night and day difference in the quality of products I could get in thrift shops vs what I see in Central FL. Granted perhaps South FL would be better but I find way more low end crap in FL vs what I used to find in Denver.

I still have tons of inventory and I can pretty much go right back into that business but my problem is I'd have to rent a place to run it out of. To move the volume I'd want to move I need a small warehouse and honesty I don't want to get stuck in FL again.. Denver was a great area but it's expensive as hell for warehouse space..
