Hey! So I have ongoing project/business which obviously needs some capital. As a full time student not really that easy to aquire It, even though I work in two jobs, so I started thinking what I can flip in order to get extra money. Luckily in such first world country as Denmark, thrift shops have great, underpriced stuff, but that's not really high cash flow as 95% stuff is still crap and I don't really wan't to sell old coffee machines for 10$ profit.
Today I believe I found a goldmine, I can get a lot of original, pretty old (20-70 years) paintings, painted by danish artists, they are not the most popular ones, but I get them way cheaper than average price of same artists on facebook marketplace or anywhere else so I can already make a profit, but I wan't to squeeze all the potential profit to maximum. What do you all think about getting as much painting as I can and then trying to put them on auctions? Artists are definitely know by someone really deeply passionate, but I believe they we're not really legendary artists as in that case I could not get them that easily. I see that those work prices go from 100 - 500$ which is many times mores than I get them for.
Anyone has done this? Maybe someone owns art gallery? I'm planning to spend couple hundred and get like 20 of them as by marketplace prices I would multiple my investment atleast 5 times, sure marketplace price doesn't mean people actually buy for that price, but If I get It for 30, but same artists painting in same size, same age and similar frame is on sale for 250 I believe I can get 100-150 with no worries.
