📖 The Hustle
Companies constantly upgrade monitors and sell old ones cheap in bulk on FB Marketplace and at office liquidation sales. Buy 22-27 inch 1080p monitors with HDMI ports for $20-40 each. Test for dead pixels using a free online test tool, clean the screen and stand, and resell individually for $60-100. Remote workers building home offices need second monitors and buy them locally year-round.
🚀 First Step
Search 'computer monitor' on FB Marketplace, filter under $40, and find 2 monitors with HDMI ports that you can test before buying.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Only buy monitors with HDMI ports — VGA-only monitors are much harder to sell in 2026
- Test every monitor with an online dead pixel checker website before buying
- Sell in pairs — many buyers want matching dual-monitor setups for work-from-home
🛠 Tools & Resources: FB Marketplace app, HDMI cable and laptop (for testing), dead pixel checker website, microfiber cloth, Windex wipes, packing blankets for transport
