Mastering Google Lens For eBay📱: The Flip Game Book By Chris Green @Authorpreneur

About this video

Interview with Chris Green, whom the host credits with introducing him to Merch by Amazon after his earlier FBA work. The focus is Green’s book The Flip Game and using Google Lens to flip items from yard sales, estate sales, thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace. On iPhone Lens lives inside the Google app via the camera icon in the search bar; on Android it is integrated in several places, and in Chrome a right-click image search does the same job. Lens identifies an item from a clean photo, a screenshot, or even a photo of a screen, removing the need to know the brand, keywords or category in advance. Examples discussed include a tiki ice bucket bought for $10 at a yard sale that sells for about $250 on eBay, a late-starting Disney-heavy sale with $5 shoes and $1 clothing, and books picked up at an estate sale after other scanners passed them by. Green argues people psych themselves out, over-rely on scanner accept/reject rules — he criticises rejecting books solely for a sales rank over 2 million — and avoid making their own buy decisions. The model is presented as low-risk side income, not a path to a million dollars, and one-off used goods belong on eBay or Marketplace rather than Amazon, where sellers need invoices against inauthentic claims.

Key takeaways

• Use Google Lens via the Google app, Android integration or Chrome image search to identify unknown items and get keywords before checking sold prices on eBay.
• Preview estate sales on estate sales.net, study the listing photos to locate target items inside the house, and use Lens on those photos before attending.
• Make your own buy decision from sold data, condition and margin instead of obeying scanner rules such as an automatic rejection above a 2 million book sales rank.
• Sell one-off used finds on eBay or Facebook Marketplace and ship promptly; keep them off Amazon, where a lack of invoices leaves no defence to authenticity claims.
• Treat flipping as unscalable, one-at-a-time side income — each item sells once and must be replaced by hunting again — and check suspect branded goods, for example via the Legit Check app, before listing them.
