Thrift flipping means buying secondhand clothes for a few dollars and listing the good ones on apps like Depop, Poshmark or eBay. It is cheap to start and you can do it on weekends. The work is in the hunt, the photos and the packing. Most people make a modest amount at first, and the pieces that sell fast are often brands you learn to spot over time.
