Paperwork

Every sale type has its documents ready in the Legal tab — vehicle bill of sale, odometer disclosure, as-is agreement, test-drive release & a deal tracker for titled flips; a goods bill of sale + as-is receipt for furniture and tools. ⚠ Cars/trailers: read the curbstoning warning before your 3rd sale of the year.

Subarus — best margins

Toyota trucks — thin margin, demand floor

Every sub-$10k private truck is 200k–300k mi — they hold value too well for cheap clean ones to exist. Margins thinner (~$500–1,750) but resale is a hard floor and they sell fast.

Furniture — mid-century & solid wood

Resale is driven by brand + material + style: solid wood and mid-century modern hold value; particleboard/big-box doesn't. Net assumes ~$30 pickup/light refinish. No title or legal friction — a goods bill of sale is all you need.

Power tools — brand & battery platform

Brand + battery platform drive resale. Small, shippable, near-instant liquidity. Lower absolute $ than furniture but the fastest turns on the board. Test it powers on before you buy; skip the $1 auction-bait listings.

Electronics — best $/cu-ft, worst fraud exposure

⚠ Check the lock before you drive. A locked device is worth scrap, not "a bit less" — and it is the one mistake here that can't be undone. iPhone/iPad/Watch: watch the seller sign out of iCloud and factory-reset it in front of you. Mac: boot to Setup Assistant — no Activation Lock, no Find My, no Remote Management (an MDM-enrolled ex-corporate Mac is a brick). Any phone: IMEI clean on imeicheck.com and the carrier's own checker; FMI must read OFF. Windows laptop: boot to BIOS and look for a supervisor/HDD password. Console: sign their account out, reset, then test on your own network for a ban. GPU: test under load — ex-mining cards look fine until they aren't. Cash only, police-station exchange lot, photo the ID against the item over $400.
The 3× rule does not hold here — electronics depreciate on a curve every buyer can look up, so expect 2–2.5× and win on velocity and cubic feet instead. Single-ticket cap is $500 until the lane has 20 clean transactions. Net assumes ~$20 to test, charge, wipe and replace a missing cable.

Seasonal — buy off-season, sell into the spike

Buy off-season, hold in the storage unit, sell into the demand spike. This is the one model where paying for storage is the strategy, not a cost — the seasonal price swing is the margin.

Monthly P&L — real take-home

Dial in how many of each you flip in a month. Take-home = deal nets − fixed overhead ($55 storage + $85 BOP insurance) − $80/car comprehensive. Uses a conservative average net per flip — the first couple flips just cover overhead; everything after is profit.
Cars avg $1,900 net/flip
$1,900
Furniture avg $220 net/flip
$660
Tools avg $50 net/flip
$100
Seasonal avg $250 net/flip
$250
Overhead — storage $55 + BOP $85 + $80 car insurance−$220
Monthly take-home$2,690
Averages are conservative floors. Break-even is ~2 furniture flips or a single car — after that overhead's paid and it's all profit. Scaling cars raises take-home fastest but also raises insurance and pushes you toward the dealer-license line (see Legal).

Legal & paperwork by sale type

⚠ Not legal advice. Working templates only — have a Colorado attorney or the county DMV review before you rely on them. Curbstoning: Colorado requires a used-dealer license above a low annual sale count. Always title titled vehicles into your own name (never open-title flips), keep the count low, and confirm the threshold with the CO DMV before your 3rd–4th sale of the year.
