well I flip bikes and big kids items locally....min I make on a bike is $20 (and I only buy them if I do not have to do ANYTHING to them, unless a higher end bike) and I can make up to $150 on one bike. Kids items like playsets or toyboxes I make $20-70 each. Again I sell these all through Facebook yard sale groups...typically same or next couple of days. For instance I bought stuff last Sat and have sold it all by Tue. I also carry a lope with me and pick up .925 silver stuff and even some gold stuff for nothing. I bought 2 rings for $2 the other day...they are worth $6 in scrap...I will put them in my pile and do one trip to my jeweler to scrap them at some point.
Basically, if I can't at LEAST double my money, then I move on.
I guess figure out what you are seeing the most of at yard sales and then quickly become very educated on it. Then you can scoop all of it up or advertise you buy that stuff. There is a guy here that just does golf clubs...and there are clubs all the time at yard sales here. I did broken cell phones for a period of time...but I needed to have a place where people could just come to...driving was killing the profits.
