Today we're back again with another item flip. I love to spend my minutes in-between doing actual work scrolling through Facebook marketplace because sometimes you find some absolute steals on there.
A few weeks ago I came across this lovely Helly Hansen mens coat for free and all the description said was wrong with it was the zip was broken. 20 minutes later and I'm back home, jacket in hand. After a quick bit of tampering with some pliers, the zip is fixed.
So many people throw things away because either they don't know how to fix the issue (or don't know where to look) or can't be bothered to fix it. However, with a little bit of effort (and google), you can easily repair most things people throw away.
After a quick Ebay search, similar jackets to this have been selling for around £60. Not bad at all for a 5 minute scroll, 10 minute drive each way and 5 minutes to fix it. Whilst I think I'll keep this one for myself, it just shows, you can make money very easily in the 21st century from your phone, in a quick study break.
