Find Something to Flip
Find abnormally low-priced products with strong flipping and resale potential.
Watches marketplaces for things listed well under what they sell for, and tells the user quickly enough to act. The margin is in being early, so alerts matter more than search.
What a v1 does5 features
- Continuous scanning of marketplace listings against sold prices
- Alerts within minutes of a mispriced item appearing
- Estimated resale price, fees and net margin per item
- Filters by category, distance and minimum profit
- A record of what was bought, sold and actually cleared
The market
The closest products are Terapeak, which reports eBay sold prices but only when you search it, and BrickSeek, which alerts on retail clearance rather than resale margin. Neither monitors a marketplace and reports what is underpriced at the time. That gap is the product, and it is the reason there is no revenue figure to show here. Priced at $19 a month.

Why this audience
This audience already knows the theory of buying low and selling high and is losing on execution: they are not looking often enough or fast enough. The margin is in being early, which is a software problem rather than a knowledge one. They have already been sold on the idea.
Before it can launch
- Marketplace API terms - eBay and Facebook data comes through their APIs or not at all, and scraping is what gets a flipping tool cut off
How the pricing works
Nineteen dollars is high for a consumer app and cheap against a single flip. The retained feature is the alert rather than the search, which is why it is monthly.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.
