Maximize Profits on Sourcing Road Trips

For professional resellers on SalesCircles.org, every mile driven is a direct business expense. Before heading out to a distant estate sale, use our fuel calculator to determine your "break-even" point.

The 15% Sourcing Rule

A common strategy for high-margin flipping is to ensure your total fuel cost does not exceed 15% of your projected net profit. If a trip to a "honey hole" costs $30 in gas, you should aim for at least $200 in profit to justify the time and vehicle wear.

Why do real-world costs often exceed estimates?

Even with a perfect calculator, your actual fuel consumption can vary. Cold weather can reduce fuel economy by up to 15% as engines take longer to reach optimal temperature. Additionally, idling in traffic or using roof racks (which create aerodynamic drag) are "hidden gas hogs." When planning a business trip for SalesCircles, always add a 10% buffer to your budget to account for these environmental variables.
