I Had No Intentions of Writing This

✍️ But a Message From a Buyer...

...Stopped Me in My Tracks. 😢

I’ll Write As a Flipper? 🤔

🙏🏻 Check it Out 🙏🏻

🤝 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
