Retirement Thread

[Mosbonian]

Not to de-rail the conversation, but this somewhat pertains to retirement.

After years of watching American Pickers, Flea Market Flipping and a few other shows, while talking to friends who have gotten into it.....I decided to let one of my hobbies/part time jobs be flipping. (Not house flipping...I am not that crazy!)

What I would love to know is if anyone else has ever ventured into flipping before and what success/failures you might have had?

I am just now doing garage sales, estate sales and flea market shopping....have found a few items that I have flipped...or just purchased and resold for a profit. I am not in it to become the next HGTV/Magnolia Channel/History Channel TV show...just in it to have some fun...make a little money and keep my butt off the couch. I have honestly enjoyed it thus far...but too soon in the process to think I have all the handles on it.

Any input?
