Are you looking for a side hustle idea that has low startup costs and requires easily attainable skills? Look no further than flipping pool tables!
Many people shy away from buying used pool tables because of the heavy lifting and technical knowledge required to transport, disassemble, reassemble, and refelt them. The typical pool table is made up of three pieces of slate, which requires special compound materials to hold together, and refelting a pool table involves adhesives and technical know-how. Because of these challenges, most people opt to buy new pool tables that come delivered and installed, which can cost upwards of $3,000 to $5,000.
However, there are plenty of used pool tables available for sale on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for a fraction of the cost of a new one. The issue is that many people who are selling their used pool tables don't want to deal with the hassle of moving them, so they sell them for cheap online, sometimes they just get rid of them for free as long as you come pick it up.
That's where the opportunity for a side hustle comes in. By purchasing these used pool tables and learning how to disassemble, reassemble, and refelt them, you can then resell them on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist with the added service of delivery and setup. This can be a great way to make money while helping people solve the problem of owning a pool table without the hassle of setting it up themselves.
For example, I recently purchased a pool table from some guys who had listed it for sale with the added service of setting it up for me. I paid $1,075 for the pool table, which is more than the typical price of $500 to $600, but I was happy to pay more to have it set up perfectly for me without the hassle.
If you're interested in this low startup cost side hustle, keep an eye out for used pool tables for sale and start watching some YouTube videos on how to disassemble, reassemble, and refelt them. With a little bit of practice, you'll be able to offer a valuable service to people looking to buy used pool tables without the headache of setting them up themselves.
