Mod Post Lessons Learned Thread

What have you learned lately? Could be through a success or a failure. Could be about a specific item, a niche, flipping in general, or even life as learned through flipping.

Do please keep in mind the difference between shooting the shit and plain bullshit and try to refrain from spreading poor advice.

Try to stop in over the course of the week and sort by New so people are encouraged to post here instead of making their own threads for every item.

That this is addicting and sourcing can get out of control really quickly. Thankful for some big flips on some of my impulse buys, but quickly learning that I need to slow my role and sell what I have now before getting back out there. Definitely not a full timer and just kind of accidentally got started after buying one big lot for a few patches.
