Before you start.

Can I use FlipFirst today?

You can create an account and save a watch. Current collection covers Facebook Marketplace around Newcastle, NSW. Other locations need a working source before a watch can run.

What can I flip with FlipFirst?

You can create a watch for phones, computers, gaming gear, clothing, sneakers, collectibles, books, bikes, tools, appliances, cameras, instruments, furniture or another item. Enter the item or model in your own words. Results depend on a connected source in your area; a price estimate needs enough close comparisons.

How accurate are the estimates?

Estimates use available comparisons for the item and its condition. Review those comparisons before buying. If there is not enough evidence, FlipFirst leaves the estimate unavailable. An estimate is not a guaranteed sale price.

How quickly will I get alerts?

Alerts follow new listing checks. We do not promise instant delivery, so check that an item is still available before acting.

Find something worth a closer look.
