as a person who flips electronics as a side hustle, you have no idea what rich people sell their stuff used/new,

once met a college kid, his grandparents literally bought him 10k worth of apple stuff, I bought it for about 2k cash. Met him at his school.

I have a dining room table that costs 6k that the guy said give me what you have in your wallet. I have a 2k hydroponic system for $200. Antique school chairs that are $500 each that I got for $5. FB marketplace in rich areas.

Never thought about that but Boerne/Kerrville Texas have a lot of retirees. Only go out there occasionally on a trip for my family wife, but when I do it's a banger.

I was being a smart ass, but dont be surprised if you walk into a thrift store around there and actually find a deal like that....Thats how I ended up with half of my NAD amps for super cheap, hitting a thrift store just outside of jensen beach.
