How I Make $400/Day Flipping VIDEO GAMES
Are you an avid video game enthusiast looking for a way to turn your passion into a profitable venture? Well, look no further! In this article, I will share my personal experience on how I make $400 a day flipping video games and turning it into a lucrative business.
Flipping video games refers to buying and reselling them for a profit. With the increasing popularity of video games and the ever-growing demand for both new releases and classic titles, this niche has become a goldmine for many entrepreneurs. Here’s how I cracked the code and started making substantial daily income.
1. Research, Research, Research:
The key to success in any business is thorough research. Before diving into the video game flipping industry, I dedicated considerable time to understanding market trends, popular game titles, console compatibility, and price fluctuations. This knowledge allowed me to make informed buying and selling decisions, reducing the risk of losses and maximizing profits.
2. Building a Network:
To succeed in this business, it’s crucial to establish relationships with key players in the industry. I joined online gaming communities, forums, and social media groups dedicated to buying and selling video games. Networking not only helped me gain insight into the market but also provided a platform to advertise my gaming inventory to a targeted audience.
3. Scouring Retail Stores and Online Marketplaces:
In order to find lucrative deals, I regularly visited retail stores, both physical and online, to search for underpriced or discounted video games. I also explored online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist, where I could snatch up attractive reselling opportunities. Patience and persistence are key when it comes to finding hidden gems at reasonable prices.
4. Understanding Game Value:
Identifying a game’s value is an essential skill in this business. I studied factors that influence a game’s worth, such as genre popularity, exclusivity, limited editions, and collector’s items. In doing so, I was able to understand which games would provide the highest return on investment. Additionally, I frequently monitored market fluctuations and adjusted my prices accordingly.
5. Marketing Your Inventory:
To generate sales, marketing is crucial. I created an online platform, such as a website or social media page, to showcase my inventory. High-quality images, detailed descriptions, and competitive pricing are key to enticing potential buyers. I also utilized social media advertising, collaborating with influencers, and running targeted online ads to expand my customer base.
6. Providing Excellent Customer Service:
Satisfied customers are more likely to recommend your services and become repeat buyers. I prioritized prompt responses to customer inquiries, provided accurate information about the products, and ensured safe packaging and delivery. Exceptional customer service builds trust and credibility in the online gaming community, helping to foster long-term business relationships.
7. Scaling and Expanding:
Once I established a profitable system, I gradually scaled up my business. I reinvested a portion of my profits to buy additional inventory, diversifying the range of games I offered. I also expanded my operations by hiring assistants to manage logistics, customer service, and marketing, allowing me to focus on strategic planning and further growth.
Flipping video games can be a highly profitable venture if you approach it with dedication, knowledge, and a strategic mindset. While earning $400 a day requires effort and commitment, the potential rewards are well worth it. Remember, success comes with continuous learning, adaptation, and staying ahead of market trends. So why not turn your passion for gaming into a fruitful and rewarding business? Good luck!

I didn't expect you to be going to used game stores. Don't these chain stores have the same prices for a game nationwide? Don't they have websites where people can see the prices, and buy them? If this shop sells a game for $20 then everyone can buy it for $20? Sorry for the nieve questions but I live in UK and looking into this as a side hustle but this technique wouldn't work for me
What is the name of this store?
and then there my place. No game shops except gamestop that sell used switch games for 60$
Good your making money and I know I will get alot of hate for this, but this the that's making hard for new start up collectors or just people who want to play classic games.
You go and snach them up and resell them for dumb amounts. This is way I stopped collecting. I collect for the love of the games and memories not to make a buck, I make my money working for some fat suit boss just like every other normal person.
I LIVE IN LEXINGTON KENTUCKY
Im a game reseller too. Def different game here in a third world country. This is your first video I saw. Love it. Liked and subbed.
He’s in a good place probably no competition. Try this in California where everyone trades games
Hi I have basically start doing the same like you but with digital game
I just realized that my old toys sells for a shit ton on ebay damn
Damn, you are just ruining a hobby for so many people. I can’t buy some of the games I want because people like you turned them in to money printers. Sad.
what app are you using for prices?
What app do you use ?
So do you basically put half the profits back into the business and then half for yourself personally?
If you want a good place for cheap stuff to resell, Facebook marketplace. They are complete idiot mums who don’t know the prices of what they’re selling lol.
So I was thinking of reselling video games. So you basically own all the consoles of the games that you own? meaning if you do see a game for sell for example if its in Nintendo DS ( that is probably selling high on the market) . Do you usually buy that if you do not own the console? My question is I dont own any gaming consoles and am interested in re-selling video games. How can I sell them knowing if they work or not ?
I didn't realize you were from Lexington
I like the classic youtube vlog style of recording and editing.
Doesn't feel over worked and flows great!
I hate these people. You’re purposefully injecting yourself as a middleman to scrape a profit for yourself. You offer no service as someone who wants these games could go look themselves, yet people like you pick them before a lot of people who actually want them can, and then you charge more than what it’s actually worth. Resellers are scalpers, pure and simple.
How do you calculate what good price is? Or like what do you use to check if you get any profit?
I usually ask to look and take the expansion pack out. Free money
What shipping service do you all use?
Video game flipping is so parasitic posting your video on here is a great move to stores will catch on and drive there prices up.
I haven't been watching you for that long but it is pretty cool since I live in Brea that's only two towns away from Lexington
How much do you make off doing this ?
What app was he using to see them details
Sucks. We used to have emotions a local Movie Exchange that also sold video games. But after Covid, they closed down. It sucks cause where I live, retro video game stores are few and far between. There's some that this lady told me at the auto parts store that I still need to check out but I tend to frequent Half Price Books which often times it's hard to get flips with them becuase they sell they're games at market value if not slightly higher then market value.
How do you scan the products? What do you use to scan them?
Honestly I need 400 for a pc hopefully I could do this
Any advice on the shipping proccess? I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

I’m a year late but NCAA 11 football for ps2 is super rare it’s the last football game made for PS2 and you can probably make 30 or $40 of it.
