Hello,

this challenge was inspired by @steemmatt who does a pretty good job taking stuff out of the streets and flipping it for a good buck. As I live in a different area with strict litter regulations, my challenge needed to be adapted.


The past two weeks I did another bobby car flip, now with 9.5 € profit. I bought one with 7 € and managed after washing it to sell it for 16.5 € after listing it for 19 € it was a 20 minute deal with pick-up, wash and inserting it online.

I think such flips are much more often possible. Maybe if I manage to get a bot or a filter to scan and display me only the relevant one with an alert when they appear. A discord solution would be interesting, so that I don't miss the good deals and do more flips.

As I'm busy with work and two other side projects, this one get's little attention from my side.


Beside the flip I did my weekly trash runs to clean up the neighborhood of plastic and trash. I think due to the Corona Virus and bad weather, the area was much more cleaner this time. I found only 5 cans which turned into 1.25 € and also picked up 2 Ikea bags of plastic and paper. Metal I sort separately out and some of it i keep, like cooper for example and recycle it in bigger rounds so that the trip is worthwhile.

I think by doing 15-20 minutes of cleaning, I do something good for my health as I get fresh air and something good for the environment. I don't weigh the trash as I pick it up and go directly to the recycling bin with it. In my area there are every 400-500 m some around so it is easy to recycle.


Do you have a side hustle?
