Found this keyboard while chilling on my couch. Bought it from Craigslist. 

Aside from thrift stores, Craigslist is also a great way to find cheap stuff to flip. This is a good example. I knew this keyboard could be flipped for more than $200, I’ve flipped quite a lot of them in the past by this point (probably 100+ over the last decade).

All I had to do to get a big profit was stage the setting of the photo in good lighting and in a pleasant background. In this case, I added light decoration to add a sense of style. 

For the ad description, I made sure to showcase its amazing features and added in the additional items that this purchase would include like a piano bench and stand. It was pretty long. Here it is:

Casio Privia PX-575R Digital 88-Key Piano Keyboard + Stand + Bench + Pedal for sale.

Rich, quality piano sound. Plenty of features.

Weighted keys so it sounds and feels like a real piano. Great for strengthening your hands/fingers/having kids practice on the real thing vs. other cheaper, but non-weighted keyboards.

Perfect gift! Great for piano students too

If you’re someone looking to have something at home but don’t have the space for a full size real piano — this thing will get you there but without the bulk.

Nice efficient size yet has all Full-Size 88 keys just like a real piano.

100% fully functional.

INCLUDES:

– Keyboard
– Stand
– Foot Pedal
– Power Supply
– Bench
– 128 MB SD Memory Card

Here are the detailed specs:

Slim, lightweight, and overall compact nature of Casio’s Privia PX-575R digital piano means you can pack it just about anywhere.

When you’re not tickling its full 88 keys, you can stash the polyphonic keyboard in a closet, under a bed, or in other compact locations where most digital pianos refuse to fit.

Maintenance-free: this piano keyboard doesn’t use hammers and strings to produce sound so there’s no tuning required.

It has great key action and touches at least the equal of many pianos selling for thousands of dollars.

Just like silk on the fingertips!
