I was visiting some of the old shops. And it had those typical antique vibes. Like some of those shops had the coins and the stamps. Like I spent entire day in such type of the shops trying to understand the value of those stamps. I loved how there is a strong market in such shops.
What you consider old is not going to be trash for other people. Like those bubble gum based sports cards. Those you as an adult may consider useless but people are going to store them and hold them high value with some serious level of the return on investment.
Like if you were to be holding those cards in the 1990s and now those cards and the stamps are totally gone off the earth. And that means those items are going to have a good price. In case of the selling those stamps and cards you can become millionaire. And that's something a journey worth living as well.
Flipping old items won't make you rich overnight. But selling those items to the right people and then making the connections along the way. You kind of grow as well. This is something worth exploring and also something you can over the retirement work. Like meet new people pay different people some value that the have for the money and those items have some future. In short this would bring some really good future and also people you would engage could change life.
Again considering you are dealing with the money means that you are going to be suffering too. Like meeting the wrong set of the people. And also you would be struggling to understand what type of the way that you are going to be dealing with the people. I guess we learn what to do with our money and time better when we get old.
I know flipping is not for all type of the people. Like some people may hate this. But if you learn to do the retirement work in a way that it can become the hobby and also your mindset is on changing your future you would do lot better with this as in your older age.
Have you given the antique item selling or item flipping a try? What's your experience?
