Hello,

my challenge inspired by @steemmatt continues. I hope to have in one year a flow like he has. Plan is to have till end of March 300 € aside from the 0 funds hustle.


Let's do the update for the week. It was again a busy week, where I traveled a lot. Sadly the good stuff that I wanted to pick up was gone very fast.

I see that in Germany it is a strong industry to flip the free things. Our neighbor had a couch that nobody wanted to buy and he offered it for free. I did not want to touch it as the design was not appealing and I know that people would not buy it, not even for 1€. He had listed it at 5 € for weeks without any interest and as he putted it for free he had 20 mails in 3 hours. He gave it quickly away and was picked by somebody with a big van which was full of furniture.

I see that the deeper I dig into this niche, the more I learn. It is kind of weird market, as I'm picky right now, due to time and space reasons. I write only for the objects that I know I can sell, but mostly are gone very fast. Next steps would be to write to the ones who sell the good stuff very cheap. This will be done when I have 200 € and will block only 100 € in case something good appears.


I need to tackle the chair this week. It is not that complicated, but needs time. We will have some rainy days, where I shall focus on it.



Today was a windy day. I did a round of cleaning around the block and also on the small river next to where we stay. The guys drinking Red Bull have been again on the parking lot and have littered it. Thankfully they left the cans so I took them as payment as for the effort of cleaning. I did 2 full IKEA bags of plastic waste.

I did also find a 2 € coin that has been added to the project funds.


Next week I will travel for 2 days and will probably be the last active week for this year.
