I found $4,000 home fitness equipment for $40 on Facebook Marketplace

A FLEA market flipper has shared how he found a $4,000 piece of home gym equipment for $40.

The savvy thrifter scored this deal on Facebook Marketplace and will now take advantage of its massive resale value.

Rob and Melissa are full-time resellers who like sharing their best finds on TikTok (@fleamarketflipper).

In a recent video, they revealed how they found a Total Gym workout machine on Facebook Marketplace.

Although the seller was asking just $40 for the top-condition item, these commercial-sized machines actually retail for $3,995.

The couple said they previously sold the same piece of equipment for $2,500 “a few years ago.”

Because of the size of the machine, Rob and Melissa had a little difficulty taking it home.

But they managed to “make it work” in their SUV.

Rob then cleaned it up and took some high-quality photos for an eBay listing.

He noticed that only one other eBay seller had the same equipment and it was “not in as good condition” as their newly-acquired find.

More and more Americans are starting to realize the money that can be made from reselling items online.

One great place to find flippable products is thrift stores like Goodwill.

Another reseller, Matt, recently shared how he found valuable golf clubs at his local store for as little as $8.99.

As he claimed in a video posted to TikTok, Matt could have made over $500 from the single trip by purchasing the clubs at bargain prices and reselling them on eBay.

Unlike other second-hand items, golf clubs from reputable brands like Titleist, Ping, and King Cobra hold their value well.

“It was one of my best thrifting days that I’ve had in a really long time,” said Matt.

Another popular section is home decor and kitchenware.

For example, Ruqiya is an interior designer who loves sharing her thrifted finds.

She recently posted a video showing off what she found at Goodwill, including an old copper kettle for $3.99.

And rare or designer clothes can also be found at thrift stores for bargain prices and flipped for a profit.
