Flipping Picture Frames from Penny Deals
Picture frames in matching sets sell well on Facebook Marketplace and eBay, particularly gallery wall sets in the same finish. Dollar stores occasionally stock surplus frames from name-brand manufacturers at clearance prices. Matching sets of 3-5 frames outsell individual frames by a wide margin.
Why Picture Frames Are Worth Flipping
Picture Frames 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-$14 per unit after marketplace fees and shipping.
Demand for picture frames 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.
Tips for Flipping Picture Frames

- 2Black, white, and natural wood finishes are the most popular and fastest-selling
- 3Gallery wall sets (mixed sizes, same finish) are extremely popular on Facebook Marketplace
- 4Remove price stickers carefully before photographing — sticker residue reduces perceived value
