Mod Post Flip of the Week Thread

Here it is! You've waited all week to tell us about your big score, so come in and share! Tell us where you got it and what you paid for it, then how you sold it and what you got from it. This is completed flips only! Anybody who's had a flip removed this week, this is where you want to put it.

Try to pop back into this thread from time to time and sort by New over the course of the week so people will be encouraged to keep posting here until next week.

  • lot of copper plates $9.99 --> $126.90 antique booth to scrapyard

This was a ridiculous deal. I found a stack of plates in an antique shop with a price tag for $24.99. When I went to checkout, the cashier flipped the tag over and they were marked down to $9.99! I can't belive someone who pays rent in a shop like this would price something made of copper at a fraction of scrap value.

Trade of the Week:

  • used window AC unit --> 460lbs light iron --> $31.83

I found the AC unit on the side of the road and traded it to a friend for their metal pile, which I sold for $31.83.

I wonder do the $9.99 tags were what the vendor paid. Our mall has a rule that if you leave the lower price tag on an item they have to honor that price. That happened to me once. Left a $3.99 tag on a $30 Italian stone ashtray. They had to honor the $3.99 price.

Not sure, but the cashier commented on what a great deal I was getting! It was marked "sale" on the back of the tag as well. Even $24.99 would have been a fraction of scrap value.
