 Summer Saving Series: 

Using Facebook Marketplace as a reseller 

w/ Elaine Mingus from Curb Vulture

Have you ever wondered what happens to those piles of furniture, artwork, and misc. items of what appears to be trash on the sides of the road? Meet Elaine, a self proclaimed curb vulture, who willingly scouts out the finds so she can resell them for a profit. 

In this espied you'll hear Elaine's story - how she found herself $10k in debt and wondered where her life's choices had taken her. Desperate to try to make ends meet, she began selling small things from around home, on Facebook Marketplace in order to make a little cash for everyday expenses. What went from one sale turned into a full-time job where Elaine had $15k months in revenue from her furniture flips. 

You'll hear her inspiring story that went from survivor of a horrific beginning to a thriver - and how she's using her story of redemption to spread hope to the masses.
