I recently heard about a retiree named Bill who supplements his pension by doing what he calls Money Monday’s.
Monday was the day of the week put aside where he would focus his efforts on making money.
His wife, Sheila, would go out that day to the hairdressers and meet with friends for lunch and… well, basically spend money.
Not that he had a problem with her going out and spending money while enjoying time with her friends, he liked it because it gave him some time to himself too.
He decided that he would use the day to earn back the money she spent, and hopefully a little extra on top.
Monday was his balance day, she spent it… he earned it back.
He saw it as a challenge that he could enjoy and as a way to keep his mind and body active.
Bill wasn’t technically minded and so he didn’t want to do anything too technical or that required him to learn much.
After all, he only had a day to work with and for every day he spent ‘learning’, Sheila was out spending money.
He decided that he would sell things as a way to make money back and his focus was going to be eBay and Facebook market place.
Bill started listing a few things that he had at home that was no longer needed, but he didn’t actually have much to sell.
He needed to find a few things that he could sell and to do that he had only two options:

- Buy something to sell.
- Make something to sell.
He couldn’t think of anything that he could make to sell, not something that people would need anyway.
He could have made, art, jewellery and trinkets like other crafters, but they are not things people tend to buy unless they have a lot of money spare to waste on ‘niceties’.
Even then, he would have to buy the materials and there were no guarantees that people would buy whatever it was he made.
Bill decided that he needed to buy items that people would want to buy and that those items had to be cheaper than buying them in the shops, and they had to be cheap for him to buy too.
So, with that in mind, he decided that one Monday when driving Sheila into town and dropping her off at the hairdressers, that instead of turning around and going straight back home, he would park up and go for a walk to have a browse in the charity shops.
He bought a few items, took them home, and listed them on eBay.
He didn’t make any sales that day, but he knew that it wouldn’t happen right away.
But over the week, he received bids on his items and by the following Monday, all but one of his items sold.
After taking out the money he spent buying the items, Bill had made a decent £40 profit which was just over half of what Sheila usually spent on a Monday getting her hair done and then lunching with the ladies.
Bill was really pleased with that. He now had £40 to add to the money he had for buying items to sell.
That following Monday, after dropping Sheila off at the hairdressers, Bill went to the charity shops again and sourced more items to sell.
With the extra money in his pocket, he was able to buy more items to sell.
He listed the items as soon as he got home.
That following Monday, Bill went over his sales and had made more profit than what Sheila had spent the previous Monday.
He was now on a roll.
He had his little system in place where he would go to the charity shops on the Monday, source products and list them, and make back the money his wife was spending… and more.
Over the weeks Bill started to make a lot more than what his wife was spending. The more money he made, the more he could spend on items to sell, the more items he had to sell, the more money he could make.
Once Sheila saw how much money he was making from his Money Monday’s hobby, she too became involved and would call in the charity shops whenever she was in town, looking for anything she believed they could sell for a profit.
She also suggested that they visit other towns in the area to browse through their charity shops, as well as enjoy a meal out. She made a day of Bill’s new hobby.
In fact, Bill’s hobby had given them a new lease of life. They went out for day trips visiting new towns where they enjoyed nice food, did a little sightseeing, and sourced items to sell.
They were having a great time. Not only that, the cost of these days out was paid for by their new hobby.
Selling pre-loved items is called ‘flipping’ and it is a very popular way of making money.
There are people who do this as their main income and they make tens of thousands of pounds of profit doing it… for some people that is per month!
What is great about flipping pre-loved items for a profit is that this is a real-world way of making money that you can start today, that also requires little technical ability and very little learning.
Our good friend John Banks has paid for holidays, monthly living costs, and even his wedding with the profits he has made flipping pre-loved items he bought on the cheap.
And he will show you how you can do the same here…
Going Flipping Crazy!
Kind regards.
John Harrison.
PS… This is a real world business that is simple and straightforward and requires no investment other than buying popular and in-demand items on the cheap.
Other than taking a decent photo with your phone and filling in a short listing, there is no technical ability or skills required.
