--- RECIPE v1: Free-to-flip: pick up 'free to collect' items and resell them within a week ---
## Why it's exciting
It's treasure hunting with a profit: people give away perfectly good things just to avoid the hassle of selling. Your inventory cost is $0; your edge is time, a car or a cart, and good photos.
(Why-it-works logic only — no profit figures claimed. Test in your town.)

## First 48 hours
1. **Set up alerts (30 min):** On OLX (in Poland the "Oddam za darmo" category), Facebook Marketplace (filter price = free) and local "free stuff" Facebook groups, save searches for: furniture brands (e.g. IKEA), solid wood, prams/strollers, kids' bikes, garden furniture, power tools, Lego.
2. **Check 3x a day.** Free items go fast; message politely and offer a specific pickup time.
3. **Grab 3-5 items** that are clean or easy to fix. Skip anything heavy you can't move, broken electronics, mattresses and car seats (safety/hygiene).
4. **Add value ($0 to cheap):** wipe, tighten screws, wash covers, assemble it, photograph it nicely in daylight.
5. **Research price:** search the same item on OLX/Marketplace and price just below the cheapest comparable.
6. **Relist** with honest title + measurements + "pickup possible today".

## Day 3-7
Answer quickly, offer pickup or local delivery for a small fee, and lower the price after 3-4 days with no messages.

## Tooling ($0)
Marketplace apps, phone camera, basic cleaning supplies and a screwdriver you already own.

## First-week metric
Items collected vs items resold and money earned per hour spent (including driving). If earnings per hour are poor after 2 weeks, narrow to the one category that sold fastest.

## Rules
Be transparent that you're reselling if asked; never misrepresent condition. Respect pickup arrangements — no-shows ruin it for everyone. Frequent reselling for profit may count as business activity under local tax rules; check before it becomes regular.

## Honesty notes
No income is guaranteed; results depend on your items, local demand and effort. Fees and rules change, so re-check the linked pages before starting.
