EVERYONE loves a bargain and Amy Fuller knows how to spot one. When she gets her hands on something super cheap she manages to sell it on for a huge profit - and she's already £1,500 into her £6,500 money-making mission. Nurse Amy, 37, a married mum of three from Hastings, picks up bargains for pennies from charity shops, car boot sales and Facebook Marketplace and 'flips' them to make a profit by selling them on Vinted and eBay.
Rather than relying on the cash to cover the cost of everyday household outgoings, she uses it to pay for luxuries such as family holidays and a garage conversion. "I once found a Lazy Oaf dress at a boot sale for 25p and sold it within days for £45. I had never heard of the brand before!" she explains.
So far, Amy, who is currently on maternity leave, has banked £1,700 thanks to her savvy flipping which she used to pay off a holiday. She adds: "We had a holiday booked which we couldn’t really afford and I didn’t want to let the children down." She is now £1,500 on the way to her £6,500 goal - which she's aiming to hit by the end of September to pay for a garage conversion so she has a home office and can really push her business forward.
While Amy has always been interested in making some extra cash, it was around four months ago that she decided to really "go for it" with her TikTok posting , where she shares tips on how to earn money on the side. Now, she regularly posts videos on her social media pages sharing tips and tricks with other.
