What can you flip with First Flip?
Find a guide for the item you want to buy and resell. Each category has details that change which listings and prices are comparable.
Choose your category
Flipping phones: check locks, storage and battery health
A used phone is only comparable when its model, storage, lock status and condition match. Verify those details before deciding what to pay.
Computers and electronicsFlipping laptops and graphics cards: compare the actual specification
A laptop name or graphics-card family can hide several configurations. Match the processor, memory, storage and condition before comparing prices.
GamingFlipping consoles and games: test the bundle before pricing it
A console bundle needs a working console, usable controllers and an accurate contents list. Do not value every pictured game as a confirmed working copy.
SneakersFlipping sneakers: match the style, size and condition
The same shoe can have different resale prospects by style code, colourway, size and wear. A popular brand alone is not a buying reason.
ClothingFlipping vintage clothing: tags, measurements and sellable condition
Choose clothing you can identify and describe accurately. Tag size, actual measurements, fabric and flaws matter more than calling every older piece vintage.
Collectibles and toysFlipping LEGO and collectibles: completeness changes the comparison
Identify the set, card or figure before pricing it. Missing parts, a different printing or an unsupported grade can make a seemingly close comparison misleading.
Books and mediaFlipping books and records: edition, condition and postage
Low purchase cost does not make every book or record a worthwhile flip. Identify the edition or pressing, check condition and count postage and storage.
Bikes and sporting equipmentFlipping bikes and sports gear: fit, wear and collection
A bike’s model, frame size and mechanical condition matter to the next buyer. For sports gear, identify the specification and included parts before using a comparison.
Tools and garden equipmentFlipping power tools: know the battery system and what is included
A bare tool and a kit with batteries and charger are different purchases. Identify the model and power system, test operation and count missing equipment.
Appliances and homewaresFlipping appliances and homewares: test, measure and plan collection
A working appliance must do its job, not merely light up. Identify the model, confirm condition and plan transport before deciding whether the purchase makes sense.
Cameras and lensesFlipping cameras and lenses: identify the mount and test the optics
Two similar-looking lenses can fit different cameras. Identify the exact model and mount, inspect optical condition and test the functions you will describe to a buyer.
Musical instrumentsFlipping guitars and keyboards: condition, setup and included gear
An instrument needs to be playable, not just recognisable. Identify the model, check condition and allow for setup or servicing before comparing it with a ready-to-play example.
FurnitureInspect a used sofa
Check the frame, fabric, condition and collection access.
Use the guide with a watch
Enter an item or model in Watches, then set the area and terms you need. There is no closed category list. Results depend on a connected source; assessments need close comparison evidence.
These guides explain what to check. They do not certify an item, guarantee a resale price or establish that every category has live coverage. Read Create your first watch and Understand an assessment for the next step.
