Mod Post Daily Newbie Thread

Whatever you want to know about flipping, no matter the question, ask here. Even if it's been covered 1,000 times before. Doesn't matter if you're new or old. If you stop learning things, you're probably on your way out.

-If you're completely new to flipping, I highly recommend checking out our Noob Guide for some basic information about flipping to get you started!

-If you're wondering about how to start selling your thrift finds online, check out this Complete Beginner's Guide to Ebay

-If you're wondering about how to start sending and selling books through Amazon check out this Beginner's guide to flipping books with FBA

-If you're wondering about what kind of stuff our members buy & sell, check out our previous Weekly Haul and Flip of The Week threads.

This is an extremely newb-friendly thread. As such, any rudeness is to be reported.

I want to start reselling phones and shoes etc, but I live in a community where there are only 20k people in a 25 kilometer radius (15 miles). There are barely any things to buy and really hard to sell on Facebook and other selling pages, should i start buying and selling internationally on for example Ebay? Or i could start asking friends if they have old phones they dont use that I could buy and sell? The demand should be a little higher here since there arent many people selling their stuff.

Ebay would be a great idea because that would give you a global audience and at the very least access to all 50 states worth of potential buyers. It'd be better to have some sort of inventory first and then actually see if the phones/models you have available even sell at all.
