What works and what doesn't
Forgot Gas Fees
Bought NFT at 3 ETH, sold at 3.5 ETH. Thought profit was 0.5 ETH. Didn't account for: 2.5% platform fee (0.0875), 5% royalty (0.175), gas 0.03 ETH. Real profit: 0.2075 ETH, not 0.5. Lost 58% to fees. Always use calculator first.
Perfect Quick Flip
Sniped floor at 2 ETH, sold same day at 4 ETH. Calculator showed 1.75 ETH profit after all fees. ROI: 87.5%. High gas day (0.04 total) but still worth it. Key: 100% gain covered all fees easily. Never flip unless gain exceeds 20%.
Blue Chip Hold vs Flip
Bought BAYC at 50 ETH. Could flip at 55 ETH for 2.8 ETH profit (5.6% ROI after fees). Or hold and sell at 70 ETH later for 17.5 ETH profit (35% ROI). Calculated both - patience paid 6x more. Small flips not worth it on expensive NFTs.
Low Fee Platform Win
Bought on Blur (0.5% fee) for 8 ETH, listed on Blur at 10 ETH. Skipped optional royalty. Total fees: 0.05 + 0.02 gas = 0.07 ETH. Profit: 1.93 ETH vs 1.55 ETH on OpenSea with royalty. Platform choice saved 0.38 ETH (24% more profit).
Break-Even Saved Me
Wanted to buy at 6 ETH. Calculator showed break-even: 6.48 ETH. Floor was 6.5 ETH. Margin too small - one gas spike and I'd lose money. Waited for floor to hit 7 ETH before selling. Break-even calculation prevented bad trade.
Volume Trader Math
Flipped 20 NFTs in a month. Average buy: 1.5 ETH, sell: 2 ETH. Profit per flip after fees: 0.36 ETH. Total profit: 7.2 ETH. But spent 2 hours per flip = 40 hours. Hourly rate: $360 at $2K ETH. Calculator helped optimize which flips worth the time.
Common Questions
How do I calculate NFT flip profit?
Profit = Sell Price - Buy Price - Sell Fees - Royalty - Gas (buy + sell). If you bought at 2 ETH, sell at 3 ETH, with 2.5% platform fee, 5% royalty, 0.02 ETH gas total: Profit = 3 - 2 - 0.075 - 0.15 - 0.02 = 0.755 ETH. Many forget gas and royalty costs.
What fees do I pay when flipping?
Platform fee on sell (OpenSea 2.5%, Blur 0.5%). Creator royalty on sell (typically 5%). Gas fee on buy (0.005-0.02 ETH). Gas fee on sell (0.005-0.02 ETH). No platform fee on buy. Total fees usually 7-10% of sell price plus gas.
Is NFT flipping profitable?
Depends. Small flips under 10% gain often lose money after fees. 20%+ gain usually profitable. Quick flips pay more gas fees. Holding longer saves gas but risks price drop. Calculator shows break-even sell price before you buy.
What's break-even price?
Price where you don't lose or gain money. If bought at 5 ETH with 7.5% total fees: break-even = 5 / (1 - 0.075) = 5.405 ETH. Must sell above this to profit. Calculator shows exact number so you know minimum sell target.
Should I factor in gas fees?
Absolutely. Gas can be 0.02-0.05 ETH total (buy + sell). On 1 ETH flip, that's 2-5% of profit gone. On high gas days, might cost 0.1 ETH. Check gas prices before trading. Use low gas times for better margins.
How do I maximize flip profit?
Buy on platforms with offers (no buy gas). Sell on low-fee platforms like Blur. Wait for low gas times. Skip optional royalties if acceptable. Target 30%+ gains to cover all fees. Use calculator to find minimum profitable sell price.
What's a good ROI for flipping?
20%+ is solid. 50%+ is great. Under 10% barely worth it after fees. Day traders aim for 10-20% quick flips. Long-term flippers target 100%+. Remember ROI doesn't include time and opportunity cost. Calculator shows exact ROI after all costs.
When should I not flip?
High gas (over 50 gwei). Small gains (under 15%). Illiquid collections (hard to sell). Bear markets (prices falling). If fees eat more than 50% of potential profit. Use calculator - if break-even is close to floor, too risky.
