Flipping Cutting Boards from Penny Deals
Cutting boards from dollar stores flip well in sets on eBay, particularly when sold as a 3-piece set of different sizes. Bamboo and wood cutting boards command significantly higher prices than plastic, even at the same dollar store source. Wedding registries and home-setup buyers are consistent customers.
Why Cutting Boards Are Worth Flipping
Cutting Boards 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 $6-$12 per unit after marketplace fees and shipping.
Demand for cutting boards 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.
