Thank you for including the cost of your time. I see so many flippers who only include the price of their materials in their profit margin and never consider the cost of their time. I appreciate all your tips here.

You’re literally so humble and helpful super refreshing
Thank you so much for posting this! SO much good information here--a lot of details I had been curious about, but wasn't sure exactly who (or even what) to ask. I appreciate this!
Thank you so much for all your help on starting a business with flipping furniture and selling it. Between your youtube channel and Salvaged by K. Scott channel I now feel I have the two best teachers and women to inspire me and give me the feeling that I can do this and have fun too :). Thank you above and beyond! 💞🙌
Yessss, more videos like this please. These were great, honest tips!
Yes. Please do more pricing and business videos. LOVE your channel best, Christina!!!
Thank you for this! New to exploring this type of creative work & your info is helpful. ♥️
I love your videos. Thanks so much for the pro tips and the encouragement!
This was SO helpful! As I've been watching your videos and getting motivated to do the same, I've been wondering how the business side works. Great video!
This was very informative thank you so much! I am one my first project and your videos have been giving me some very useful tips!
This is such a helpful video. Thank you for sharing your tips!!!
I started flipping furniture and made a KZread video all about my first month on the biz lol thanks so much for the inspiration! Stay Flipping!
Thank you, Christina. This was so informative!! I am also very interested in learning how to price commissioned pieces and invoicing clients.
around the 10:00 mark she is 100% correct. Do not answer with "yes it is available" ... i'll go a step further than Christina. I worked in sales for nearly 10 years and first rule of thumb is never let the customer answer with a simple yes or no. You want them to make a commitment. So if they write, "Is this still available", you can respond with "yes. what day and time would you like to come see it"
Thank you for the video and the information. I love your work!
That was the EXACT video from the EXACT right person ..very informative and inspiring ..I am on my way into this as we speak and your videos will be a great value to me ..I appreciate this thanx girl 🤘🌟
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for this amazing video 💕
Loved your Video. Very inspiring. Great tips, thanks so much for putting video together.
Thank you! Just watching your video has given me so much more confidence to sell my pieces that are just sitting in my workshop. Something has been just holding me back from actually putting myself out there and listing my stuff...so thank you! Not everyone is as open for some reason so I for one appreciate it. Super helpful in me breaking through this fear or intimidation I've been feeling.

Thank you so much for both videos, they were very helpful! I love your channel. You and Katie inspired me to start furniture painting. What's the best way to estimate how long it will take to paint furniture, is it according to size? Thanks again and keep up the great content!!!
Great info! I got some new ideas to add to my listings. I would definitely love more coverage on how to price customs so I can really promote my business without hemming and hawing about how much. Thanks!
Love this video, lot's of good information shared! You and Kacha have become my go-to girls and i'm so blessed to be so inspired by both of you. Thank you!

Thank you for this informative video. I’m pretty new at repurposing/upcycling furniture. I have used OfferUp and FB market Place mostly for my sales. I have noticed for my state, CO, the farmhouse, country farm house, done in white or gray distressed, seems to sell the quickest. I really like trying to do different colors, with maybe stencils and transfers, but I feel the labor that goes into these pieces, warrants another sales site like maybe Etsy to sell. Customers just don’t seem to want to pay the price here. I would love you to do a video on doing commissioned pieces, as I’ve thought about that. I believe one has to have a lot of confidence in their work to take that on however, a bit scary if you mess it up, especially if it’s a loved piece from their home they’ve brought to you. Love your videos and work. Thanks again
