Ayyo this is amazing. I always thought it's too good to be true but it's so real. I'm getting tempted to start reselling but it's that "fear" of not getting things sold..
@@Justin-tp1mxno he isnt Stevie was supposed to get it for 300 but it was broken so he got it for 165 then fixed it for 40 bucks. Then the guy offered 350 (the original price) and bought it
I just opened marketplace, 5 Herman Miller Mirra ($450) for $180~, and many Aero's for $250-$300 (but they're not broken). $165 broken, sure, but $300~ used
I’ve thrown hundreds of perfectly good Herman miller chairs away at my government job. They usually get left out in the weather for at least year and then someone finally decides to put a ticket in to get them removed. I wish I could’ve sold them.😭
Y’all don’t auction them? I work for local government and we just put them to auction and they sell old office chairs like $15 a chair. Then again we don’t buy Herman millers (taxpayers would flip their shit if we did)
If another govt organization doesn’t take them then they are thrown out. We once donated chairs and tables to a local school but then other schools had a fit because their school, and others, were left out. So that was stopped.
My sister had been picking up old unwanted wooden furniture on the side of the road and fixing it up in her garage. Sanding and repainting. Then listing it again online once it was repaired. She was a teacher so had the summer months off and made a decent few thousand from it all in that time
The real thing that made the flip work for him was that it was broken and he replaced the seat. If he had bought at the original $350 he would have struggled to sell it for $500 to get that $150 profit
You don't know how much gas he used. And you don't know how many hours he put into it. At the end his outcome was his hourly wage, which he made on side with easy work from home.
The lol here is on you. Cause you all are idiots to calculate "work hours" or "labor". That's what he earned. He doesn't pay anyone a wage, he makes that money within a few minutes. Cause it doesn't take hours for all what he did. And you don't take gas into account here. It shows that most people here don't know how to calculate side hustle or freelance work.
It’s always the people that complain about not having money that always bring up the “expenses” and say “screw it” even though you can make money doing it. You’ll make more watching TV don’t worry
I found 3 Odd Knudsen Luna chairs on Craigslist free, sold them a month later, gave the guy a deal at $1500.. not kidding at all... p.s. that's a crazy flip for the Alaska market
How many hours you put into this? Cause you drove to get the chair and the seat, you spent time taking out the seat and installing the new one, with the old mesh, spent days looking for buyers... so yeah, it can be done for some extra, but not really scallable or for the long run
I do ACs I’ll pick them up in the winter fall and spring time when everybody’s putting them out most of them still work if they don’t work I scrap them if they do work I list them anywhere from $60-$150 depending on the BTU and How well it runs it’s a great moneymaker in the summertime when people are desperate and they don’t want to pay two $300 at the store. They are willing to pay 50 $60 $80 to cool off and I don’t mind an extra free 80 bucks for something I picked out of the garbage.
The problem with furniture flipping is this.... furniture always is worn,damaged or need at least a little bit of work. Even if that isnt the case its really not feasible. The amount of storage space it takes up, the inability to leave it outside and the fact pieces can sit for months to YEARS make it high ineffective. Any real decent or high end furinture is snatched and resold quickly by auctions or antique dealers who have the space to display it. Im not saying that its not profitable im saying you have to have the combination of, MASSIVE amount of space, furniture knowledge about brands and whats good in your area( this is big), the ability to do minor to major repairs and have the capitol to sit on items for an extend period of time. You also really need a large truck or work van to move the pieces pick them up or deliver them, as guess what most buyers dont have the ability to pick the pieces they like up. I know multiple people who are succesful at doing this guess what they all have in common ? They own an antique store, have a large storage space or run an auction or estate service. Can you flip a one off every once in a while sure but as a business your gonna shoot yourself in the foot literally. Just trying to provide advice to someone. Of all the the things you can flip due to space issues furniture might be the worst but profit wise can be very good its apples and oranges.
How about all the labor and gas driving around? A lot of the tools we have come with warranties etc Guess what processing it takes more $$ than dumping it and buying new and taking 179 deduction.
That's not how you calculate profit Here are some deductions- Gas when you travel Interest on money you invested Your salary Depreciation on assets like your laptop car Also a very small portion of car mantainance
Wow, the first youtuber I've seen that's sold something for a reasonable price. Herman chairs are expensive. I work in an office setting and there was a 10000$ budget for some chairs in the office. 😂 so it's understandable.
ok great. he made a $250 profit but i suspect he probably spent a total of 3 hours thinking about or doing stuff with regards to all the transactions. That means a $80 an hour rate. Use that info as you willl
two trips out to get chair and part, effort to repair and rebuild, $125 is not profit it's a wage. time is the most expensive charge as it's non replaceable.
I’ve thought this too but after getting the HM chair during Covid I wouldn’t go back. Hyken is a good budget chair but the HM is just somehow another step more comfortable after 6 hours of sitting.
@@CrunchyBaguette is it really? Genuine question. I'm an overworked engineer, so I'm usually sitting 10 hours (combined) a day. Everything I've seen has said the Hyken is essentially an Aeron but with a headrest at a fraction of the cost. Never tested any HM chairs, but my Hyken is tested and proven!
@@Steven-TI’m not the person you were responding to, and I haven’t tried Hyken, but the place I used to work replaced all the old, cheap, off-brand office chairs with Herman Millers after they had a small group of employees, including me, test drive several different models. The Herman Miller was amazing and far and away the winning chair in the test drive competition. My back was constantly hurting before we got those chairs, but afterwards, the pain was really mitigated. Now I work somewhere else, and the chair scene is grim. 😂
No way are they comparable. I had one. The Hyken is a budget chair by all means: very cheap mesh, a frame that's entirely too stiff, very limited armrest configuration with hard padding, unsupportive lumbar "support," and a seat that just does not contour well or sit very comfortably. I used to get lower back pain all the time and after upgrading, I'm no longer stiff after 12-14hr work days. If I spend that much time in a chair, I'm now of that camp that it's one of the things you should splurge on. I've seen chairs Steelcase Amia's go for like $200 and Aerons for $500 at local used office furniture shops/refurbishers. Well worth the investment and the jump in quality and support is immediately noticeable.
The Aeron is obv better and will last longer, but yeah I've seen $200 chairs perform just as good as these expensive ones. You still def get an upgrade in quality for all the money
Brand new, that chair is over $1000. A good ergonamoic office chair will prevent a lifetime of back problems and will last forever too. I just bought a refurbished steelcase chair for $400 ($1000 brand new) with a 12 year warranty. It hasn't delivered yet but I'm excited to try it.
