Flipping Screen Protectors from Penny Deals
Tempered glass screen protectors for current phone models are small, lightweight, and cheap to ship — ideal for penny flipping. Dollar Tree tempered glass packs for iPhones and Samsung phones sell consistently on eBay and Mercari. The low weight means shipping rarely eats into margins.
Why Screen Protectors Are Worth Flipping
Screen Protectors 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 $5-$12 per unit after marketplace fees and shipping.
Demand for screen protectors 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.
