Show HN: Solid side income from market inefficiencies (opens in new tab)

It is only for US residents at the moment. We are working on opening it to people in other countries soon.

Thank you for kind words.

That is where we are planning to extend this. Also, eBay and Amazon dropshipping are a good target for this.

I like how you think :).

You need to get the book shipped to your place first and then you need to ship it to the buying website. You will need to get involved at one point.

If you hire someone from US to do this, they will start flipping books themselves leaving you.

Are you suggesting that Flippiness should use those services or are you saying that a person can use those services for free without paying?

If latter, yes we could use those but we don't know how frequently they update their prices. If there is a mismatch between their prices and source prices, our data will be inaccurate. We get prices continuously in a cycle for all books that we have (almost a Million). This ensures we remove stale records.

If you meant Former, the issue is a person can't manually check prices for a lot of books every day. Even if they did it will cost them more timewise than our membership dues.

This is a valid point. The reason is that there is a manual process of getting the book shipped and then shipping it. This cannot scale very well. I can may be trade 50 books a day but that is the upper limit. I don't want to invest too much time into something that can't scale. By opening it up to the world with a monthly membership, I can take a vacation and still make money from this.

Does that sound good enough?
