Almost Robbed!

Holy camoly! I just dogged a big bullet! I had $280 of my One Green Paper Flip money (as well as the $20 from my other blog and $100 in normal cash) in my wallet during an ice hockey game. Somehow someone managed to break into the change room (even though it was locked) and a lot of guys lost a lot of cash. The guy on my right lost $200 and the guy on my left lost $60! For some reason they didn't touch my stuff. I think it was because my bag was closed and it would take them an extra few seconds to open it. Other than that I have NOOOO idea why they would spare me. I guess they ran out of time. My sister says I have a horseshoe up my butt. I'm starting to believe her. Luckily, I lost NOTHING, but I you can be sure that's the last time I bring that much money (or perhaps any) to a hockey game again.

Sold the Tires!

As predicted, I sold the tires for $150. Since I bought them for $40, that makes it 275% profit! Ye-haw!

Building My Stock Again - An Elliptical Trainer!

I found another good deal (I think) on an Elliptical Trainer! The goods are getting bigger and better these days. This retails at $190CAD and I think I can sell it for $120 and make a healthy profit. That means I have the following right now:

Snow Tires
Elliptical Trainer
Crappy Coffee Maker

The Elliptical is supposed to be dropped off this weekend, so no gas spent for me!

I got the tires!

Well, I picked up the tires. I already have 5 people interested in them. I bought them for $40 and am asking $150! I think $150 is even a good deal, but I want this to sell fast because the faster the sales, the faster I can buy something else with the money. This guy has another cheap set as well, but I think I was a bit slower on the draw on this one. Still $110 profit is nice when you only have $20!

Off and Running Again!

The season is changing and so is what I'm flipping. I found a good deal on Snow tires. Not sure what size they are but who cares? I've already placed a feeler ad in the local free web page and I already have a bite. So I called up the guy selling them and told him I'd buy them. Not too shabby. I'm asking $150 for anyone in Ottawa, Ontario who wants them. They're Nordic Winter Trac P205/75R14, used only 1 season!

I'm back!

Sorry world - Life happens. I've been super busy at work, and also my baby got baptised, so I have not been able to post in a while. (or look for new stuff to sell). Things have died down a bit, so I will start looking for more stuff to sell and see if I can get this thing going again. It would be a shame to stop now. Unfortunately, Garage Sale season has pretty much ended here in Canada, so I'll have to do the old fashioned way and start reading on-line boards again (is this really the old fashioned way). Also, my other blog stole a few of my flips lately, so they didn't show up here. Now that that one is up and running (although, having troubles of it's own), I should be able to start flipping here again.

Stay tuned....
