Flipping Air Fresheners from Penny Deals
Car and home air fresheners from dollar stores flip in lots on eBay, particularly scent-specific varieties that have loyal buyers. Hanging tree-style car fresheners and vent clip fresheners are the fastest-moving formats. Scent variety lots of 10-20 units sell quickly to buyers who want to stock up.
Why Air Fresheners Are Worth Flipping
Air Fresheners show up regularly in dollar store penny bins as inventory cycles out and new products rotate in. When you source at the penny price — literally $0.01 — almost any working unit sold at market rate is pure profit. The average flipper in this category earns $4-$9 per unit after marketplace fees and shipping.
Demand for air fresheners stays consistent because buyers search for these products regardless of season, and penny-deal sourcing lets you undercut retail pricing while still earning strong margins. The key is getting the penny list early and reaching stores before other flippers do.
