Retail flipping, tracked to the dollar
Buy the price error. Sell it on eBay.
Stores and third-party sellers misprice things every day: a misplaced decimal, a coupon that stacks too far, a repricing bot gone wrong. Sticky Picks teaches you to catch them at Amazon, Walmart, Sam's Club, Woot, Kohl's and more, check what they really sell for, and track every flip from checkout to eBay payout.
Early alphaMember accounts are open and completely free. No payment, no card, nothing locked.

Scan it in the aisle. Know if it flips.
Point your phone at the barcode on a clearance tag or box. We name the product and open what it actually sold for on eBay, so you can run the math before you buy. Works with UPC and EAN barcodes, or type a product name.
Sold prices open on eBay with completed sales filtered in. Live asking prices show here when available. Always compare sold, not asking.
What's being flipped right now
Real products Sticky Picks members bought below market. Paid and eBay sale are per unit. Profit is per unit after eBay fees and shipping. Before an item sells, the tag shows the expected sale and profit from sold comps or the member's target price, after estimated eBay fees and before shipping.
How it works
A price-error flip, start to payout
Same five steps every time. Skip the second one and you're just shopping.
Spot the mistake
A price far below what the item normally sells for: a misplaced decimal, a coupon that stacks too far, a clearance tag set wrong.
Check eBay sold prices
Look at completed sales, not asking prices. If it doesn't sell well above what you'd pay after fees, pass.
Buy fast, expect cancels
Errors get fixed quickly and stores can cancel orders. Buy a sensible quantity and don't count it until it ships.
List it on eBay
Price from the sold comps, photograph the real item, and ship fast. Sealed and new-in-box sells best.
Track the real profit
Sticky Picks logs every eBay order through Zapier and shows your profit per unit after fees and shipping.
Where we look
Third-party sellers set their own prices, often with repricing software. One typo or bad rule and a listing goes live far below market. Compare checkout to eBay sold listings.
Online and in-store prices don't always match. Scan clearance in store and check what it rings up at.
Member pricing and in-club markdowns. You need a membership to buy.
Short-run deals with limited quantities. Good prices go fast, so know your eBay comps before it opens.
Sales, percent-off coupons and Kohl's Cash can stack, so checkout can land far below the tag.
Target, Best Buy, Home Depot and more. Same rule everywhere: check sold prices before you buy.
FAQ
Questions people ask first
What is a price error?
A price far below what an item normally sells for, caused by a mistake: a misplaced decimal, a coupon that stacks further than intended, a clearance tag set wrong, or a third-party seller's repricing software misfiring. Most get fixed within hours, so speed matters.
Is Sticky Picks free?
Yes. Sticky Picks is in early alpha and member accounts are completely free. There is no payment, no card on file and nothing locked behind a plan.
Can the store cancel my order?
Yes. Retailers can cancel price-error orders, and many do. A cancelled order is normally refunded to the card you paid with. Buy a sensible quantity and don't count a flip until it ships.
How do I know if something will actually sell?
Check eBay sold listings, not asking prices. Asking prices are what sellers hope for; sold prices are what buyers paid. The free comp checker on this page scans a barcode or takes a product name and opens the sold search for you.
How does Sticky Picks track my profit?
Log what you buy, then log sales by hand or connect eBay through Zapier so orders come in automatically. Profit per unit counts what you paid, eBay fees and shipping, so you see the real number, not the sale price.
Do I have to sell on eBay?
No. eBay is the default, but you can mark a product as a local flip and log sales from Facebook Marketplace, local pickup or anywhere else.
Will other people see my flips?
Only if you turn sharing on. The live board shows product name, image, store, prices and profit per unit. It never shows your name, email, notes or links. The members leaderboard is opt-in too, and you can use a nickname.
Do I need experience to start?
No. Start with one item you understand, check sold comps before you buy, and ship fast. The How it works steps above are the whole routine.
Do I owe taxes on flips?
Reselling income can be taxable, and eBay may send you a 1099-K. Rules depend on where you live, so ask a tax professional. Sticky Picks keeps the records that make that conversation easier.
Track your own flips
Log what you buy, connect your eBay sales through Zapier, and see real profit per unit. Share your flips on the live board if you want to. Sell something out and get a shareable win card, and climb the members leaderboard if you opt in. Accounts are completely free while Sticky Picks is in early alpha. No payment required for anything.
