My biggest and heaviest flip ever. When I picked this thing up from the store, I completely underestimated how big the box was. I had to borrow my parents' minivan and take out all of the seats to fit this. I was a little hesitant to try to flip this because it was so big and heavy, but it was clearanced for $49 and the deal was just too tempting.
Within 3 days I had two potential buyers, and one seemed definitely eager to make the deal happen. I tried telling her that this was a big and heavy box, and she said that her SUV could fit it. WRONG. I was planning to charge a delivery fee if this exact scenario happened. But this lady was buying this as a surprise for her husband who is currently deployed until November. Again, the pay it forward principle came in to affect so my dad and I told her we would deliver it to her house. She is completely new to the area after coming back from overseas, and we ended up getting to her house before her.
She didn't even try to haggle the price I had listed because my price was already lower than every other store. So I bought this 200lb, 6ft behemoth for ~$50 and flipped it for $200, easily one of my most profitable deals ever.
