The facts

Is LocalFlips.com legit?

Yes. LocalFlips.com is a US web service for people who flip things they buy locally. It finds underpriced listings near you and shows the math. Here’s what to know before you sign up.

What it does

When a listing on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp or Craigslist inside your area is projected to clear $50 profit after selling fees and a 50% all-in return by default, LocalFlips.com sends it to you with the numbers: the asking price, a suggested offer, what it sells for, the fees and the projected profit. You buy the item from the seller yourself.

Who built it

LocalFlips.com was built by Chris, its founder. Questions go to a real person at support@localflips.com, or use the contact form in Help.

What it costs

  • Your first profitable find is free, and it needs no card.
  • After that you pay $1 for every $20 of projected profit we send you.
  • You choose a monthly limit, from $10 up, and you’re never billed more than that.
  • There’s no flat monthly fee. A month with no finds costs nothing.
  • You can pause any time, or cancel on Billing. Finds already delivered are still billed.

Refunds

Report a problem from the find: a scam or suspicious seller, a changed price, an estimate that looks off, or details that don’t match. We review every report, and if we confirm the problem, you get that find’s fee back. A listing that simply sells to someone else first isn’t refunded.

What it never does

  • It never touches your Facebook, OfferUp or Craigslist account.
  • It never messages sellers or buys anything for you.
  • It doesn’t sell your personal information.
  • It isn’t a course, a house-flipping service or a dating site.

What it can’t promise

Projected profit is an estimate, made from real recent sales when we send the find. Condition, what you end up paying and the final sale price can all change what you actually make, so check each find before you buy. How we estimate profit explains the math.

Not affiliated with the marketplaces

LocalFlips.com is independent and isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc., OfferUp Inc. or craigslist, Inc. Each find links to the original listing, and you deal with the seller there.

The Terms of service and Privacy policy cover the details, Pricing explains billing, and Help answers the rest.

How it works

  • You set your area

    Pick where you are, how far you’ll drive and the kinds of things you like to flip. You can change it anytime.

  • We find the underpriced ones

    Listings in your radius priced under what they’re worth, so you never have to sit there refreshing.

  • We know what things are worth

    Plenty of great flips don’t look like much: a vague title, a bad photo, a brand nobody mentioned. We catch them and work out your profit after selling fees and shipping.

  • Only the best reach you

    By default, if a listing is projected to leave you at least $50 after selling fees and at least 50% all-in ROI, you hear about it. Then it’s your move: message the seller, pick it up and flip it.

You only pay for what we find you: $1 for every $20 of projected profit we send, and your first find is free.

Pricing

You pay $1 for every $20 of projected profit we find you. A find showing +$120 in projected profit costs $6.

You set a monthly limit. Choose the most you’re willing to spend in a month, and your bill will never go over it.

You only pay for what we actually send you. If we find you less, you pay less. If we find nothing, you pay nothing.

For example, with a $50 limit, if we send you $370 of projected profit this month, you pay $18.50.
