  • In this video I will share several easy steps to Refresh your old furniture or prepare furniture to flip for a profit. Furniture Restorations are fun, but sometimes, old furniture just needs to be cleaned up and refreshed using a few simple products. I will use Howard Restore a Finish to restore the original luster on this walnut dresser. I will then apply Howard Feed N Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner to bring this piece to life and add and extra layer of protection. I will share several ways to prepare furniture to flip for a profit and How to make money flipping thrift store Furniture. I have included a few vintage toy trains just for fun. Hope you enjoy this one! Barry

    While I enjoyed the video, I personally thought you were setting a bad president for other flippers in your area. I get that you wanted to give the sellers a fair price, but in the long run it will cause sellers to ask more for their furniture. I'm also confused by youtubers having a wish list. I personally feel that if this is what you choose to do, you should be able to fund it yourselves. You stated that you traveled the world and I'm curious how many subscribers donating have been able to afford to do that. I'm honestly not trying to be mean or snarky, I'm just beyond curious.

    • @MadCityModern
      @MadCityModern  2 года назад +122

      I appreciate you asking kindly, but I believe you have misunderstood all of this. I gave the lady a fair price because the $60 dresser belonged to her mother who had just passed. She had no idea what to ask for it. People like her are often taken advantage of by re-sellers. I told her I planned to resell it and wanted to give her an honest price. That's why I include the conversations. I hope giving people fair prices for their valuable items becomes the new standard. Have you ever been on the other end as the seller? They also deserve to benefit. It is not my place to set the "rules", I am simply sharing my story and what I feel is right for everyone involved. As far as the wishlist goes, I've donated my time and supplies towards projects that were donated for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Charity events, donated money from a project specifically for breast cancer awareness, and recently spent 2 days refinishing a family heirloom at no cost for a young family. I gave them my last wax brush and bottle of polish. The next day a new bottle of polish showed up from my wishlist, and a few days later new wax brushes. This isn't about me asking for a free $10 item. This is about giving to others and allowing others the opportunity to do the same. I have spent 17 yrs as a healthcare worker and have funded my own travels around the world. A wishlist isn't about taking advantage of others. I purchase items for other youtubers every week because it gives me pleasure to support others. We don't know how giving can impact others, beyond just the monetary value. I place a 5 second text in a 12 minute video that takes me 2 days to edit. Hope it wasn't an inconvenience. I appreciate your curiosity and hope I've answered your questions respectfully. Barry

      @@MadCityModern I've seen other resellers do exactly that. They let the seller know and give them more than their asking price. THAT is what will give resellers and flippers a better name. If someone is asking too much, they won't sell it and will have to lower their price, but some older people who have had pieces in their care for a long time have no idea what the market is. Reseller from Drew Prichard to George the Nomad antique seller, they know what things are worth and they're not in the business of taking advantage. You did good. That wasn't just some junk from Ikea.

      Since you are restoring it and selling it for only $400, $60 was a fair price for it. I can't afford to pay $200, haul and do all the cleaning, and staging for only a $200 profit. For me it's not a hobby, it is a livelihood. "Taking advantage" of someone is not paying their asking price. Nothing dishonest about that at all. I've had people basically steal pieces from me because they told the seller what it was worth and the sellers back out of the deal we already made. They've finally made an offer button where you can offer more than they are asking, so Facebook Marketplace has kind of remedied the problem, FINALLY.

      @@TheAccidentalViking Funny you bring up Drew Prichard. he'll drive 400 miles, pay $400 for something, and then sell it for $500. Come on man, he's a millionaire from TV, so he isn't doing it as the only way of making a living. I'm really tired of so much snobbery online and blaming people as being cheap and inconsiderate just because someone pays a low asking price. I really don't know why I waste my breath answering such comments. On the other hand, I have seen Drew get them to come down on the price and him sell it for well over what he paid. Each case is different and not every transaction is done in the exact same way. Paying more or paying less does not make it in itself a good bad thing.

    In every episode of your channel, I learn something new or get reminded of something I'd forgotten. I don't know how I'd lost track of Howard's Restore-A-Finish...that stuff is magic on every wood surface where I've applied it so far. (I'm honestly busy these days adjusting to a still new retirement at age 63 plus other situations and haven't had the most time to enjoy any hobbies.) The older pieces of furniture where I've used the Howard's still retain their aged character and appear so clean and well taken care of even when the pieces had been abandoned and ignored and damaged on the surfaces. All of us viewers out here wish that we could be like you handling so many different restorations requiring countless methods of restoring...your learned knowledge bank is remarkable, plus your intuition proves to be so savvy. Thank you for bringing us all the differently themed videos...as they say, variety is the spice of life! You're a genuinely kind and friendly host. ...Keep on keeping on!

    Thanks for another great learning opportunity, Barry. I've never been to Glacier, but I live close enough that I have added it to the list. You're a very talented man with many obvious loves. Your channel is inspiring and the results speak for themselves. As for those who want to question your motivation, let them eat cake my friend. Most of us look forward to your next video with great anticipation. Keep up the great work. Until next time......

    Amazing what some cleaning and polishing will do for a piece of old furniture. Whoever had that before you took good care of it. Maybe one of these days you’ll find a real diamond in a drawer. 😉 that chair at the end, my mother in law had two of those in her beauty shop in the sixties. They ended up in my mother’s house as temp seating while she was shopping for new chairs . Don’t know what became of them after that.

    This was a lovely piece and u really respected it. I love that u even kept the original hardware. Im getting so tired of watching these people take lovely vintage or retro pieces and paint them and change the hardware when they could have restored them. I have a 1964 modern bedroom suite my mom bought and I inherited it. I love it and my mom took very good care of it. Its solid wood, very well made and I would never disrespect it by painting it or changing the unique brass hardware. Really enjoy your channel. ;)

    Love the video! I live in N. IL/S. WI area and follow another guy in Minnesota who does furniture videos as well. Maybe you have already made a video like this but I would love to see someone do a restoration on Audio equipment such as speakers or those wood/veneer cabinets surrounding a turntable. Been to Madison many times and not sure if you have heard of Wise Owl Auctions but they sometimes have some cool furniture as part of their sales. Thanks again!

    wow....that discussion got a little awkward (paying more than the seller was asking). I was going to ask if you were in the healthcare field in one of your videos I watched but thought "no I would be embarrassed if you weren't and you thought it was stupid that I asked". I'm a dialysis RN who just quit my job because of the physical and mentally stressful environment I was working in. I have always enjoyed working with furniture and decided I would rather work hard for myself rather than work hard to make the biggest dialysis corporation in the word richer. I have no illusions that furniture flipping is going to be enough to support me but for the near future I'm going to give it my best shot. Anyway thanks for your content, you can make the videos as lengthy as you want and thanks for sharing about getting overwhelmed with how long it takes to strip and sand a piece of furniture and your helpful advise about breaking it down into sections.
