Couch Flipping on Facebook Marketplace
Buy used couches cheaply (or get them for free) from motivated sellers on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist/Kijiji, then resell them at a markup. Focus on premium brands like Restoration Hardware and La-Z-Boy, using geographical arbitrage by buying in cities and selling in suburban/rural areas where supply is low. Offer delivery service for additional revenue.
