But a Message From a Buyer...

...Stopped Me in My Tracks.

THE ETHICS OF FLIPPING

A THREAD:

I’d be lying.

If I Told You I’ve Never Wondered. ‘Is Flipping Ethical?’

”You’re Just Price Gougers!”

”Resellers, They’re All Greedy!”

I’ll Admit it. There Are Things...

I Just Dont Feel Comfortable With...

I Don’t Flip Necessities

If Doing RA, I Often Leave a Few On the Shelf (especially Toys if there are Kids with Parents in the Aisle)

This is Just My Preference

I’m Not Saying You’re Wrong or Unethical for Doing Any of Those

But I Received a Message Last Night.

That Totally Shed a New Light

(keep reading, I know this is wordy)

It Was Just a Little Voice Recorder

Someone Found it at Work

And Thought of Me

(ehem... never hide that you flip!)

The Parts Moved but I Had No Tapes, No Way to Test

So I Listed it. (eBay is Weird, You NEVER Know What Will Sell)

IM SO GLAD I DID...

I Was Sitting on My In-laws Porch

It Was the 4th of July

I Received a Message

“Does This Work?”

I Was Honest. (This is Your Best Policy Flipping...and In Life)

(I’ll be Sharing Messages but Removing Names. I Asked for Permission to Share all of this)

”I Have No Idea, TBH. But if It Doesn’t I’ll Just Refund You 100%, No Questions Asked”

So I Left them Zero Risk.

If it Doesn’t Work? I’d Just Eat the Fees/Shipping

(BTW, I Accept Returns. But it Does Show that I Don’t.)

So We Struck a Deal!

(These Messages Also Highlight How I Handle All Transactions Via eBay Messaging)

A Few Days Pass

I Saw that it Was Delivered

So I Sent a Message...

To See If They Had any Trouble?

I NEVER Expected What Came Next...the Pictures Say More than I Ever Could.

Please Read, Dont Skim

So, is Flipping Ethical?

I No Longer Ask Myself This

1.) Be Honest

2.) Treat Others How You Should
