The process is simple and convenient as they don't have to pay for the inventory until it sells. Sharetown provides regular pickups through their app, and Chris and his wife have found great success by refurbishing and reselling items like mattresses.

Chris and his wife appreciate the flexibility that comes with furniture flipping. By leveraging Sharetown, they can schedule pickups that work for both them and the customers.
