How to make a lot of money with flipping — the short answer
Scale from 10M to 100M+ by: (1) diversifying across Bazaar, Crafts, AuctionHouse, (2) exploiting mayor perks and events, (3) reinvesting 100% of profits (4) using premium tools for edge, (5) run multiple active flips simultaneously. Timeline: 1 week from 10M to 100M.
The scaling pyramid: 10M → 50M → 100M
Stage-based scaling (aligns with timeline)
Stage 1: 0–5M
Goal: Build initial Coin and learn reliable, low-risk flips. Target modest daily ROI focused on consistency.
- Daily ROI target: 5–10%
- Time to next level: ~2 days (aggressive micro-flips + NPC/minions)
- Strategy focus: NPC, minions, farming and instant craft flips
- Typical allocation: Bazaar-heavy small stacks, fast crafts and farming income. Keep risk minimal.
Stage 2: 5M–100M
Goal: Rapid growth using higher-frequency Bazaar and craft flips while introducing AH opportunistically.
- Daily ROI target: 12–18%
- Time to next level: ~7 days (with disciplined reinvestment)
- Strategy focus: Bazaar + Crafts + AH (minor)
- Coin allocation example:
- Bazaar ~60% (diversified across many items)
- Crafts ~25% (active recipes, fast turnover)
- AH ~10% (opportunity plays)
- Reserve/Event ~5%
- Workflow highlights: Use Top Movers/Mayor scans, keep buy orders active, and reinvest nearly all profits until you pass 50M.
Stage 3: 100M–1B
Goal: Shift toward higher-margin, lower-frequency plays; AH becomes a primary growth engine.
- Daily ROI target: 8–15%
- Time to next level: 14–30 days
- Strategy focus: AH primary, Bazaar maintenance
- Coin allocation example: More balance toward AH and high-margin crafts; Bazaar becomes maintenance.
Stage 4: >1B
Goal: Preserve and grow Coin with high-margin, low-risk plays. Focus on stability and selective risk.
- Daily ROI target: 5–10%
- Time horizon: Indefinite — focus on long-term stability
- Strategy focus: High-margin plays only, limit risk; mayor-cycle based investing selectively
Advanced strategies for high-Coin flippers
1. Exploit mayor events (1–3M per spike)
Strategy: Hold 5–10M in reserve. When predictable mayor perks hit, deploy aggressively.
- New balance patch: Items with changed crafting costs become arbitrage opportunities. Buy materials before patch hits, sell after market reprices.
- Double XP events: Items spike in demand (players farming). Flip in 2–3 day window, exit before crash.
- New boss releases: Boss materials tank initially, stabilize after 1–2 weeks. Buy dips, sell stabilization (20–40% margins).
2. Master craft flipping
Craft flipping is faster money than pure Bazaar flipping.
- High-volume recipes (5–20% margins):
- Compacting: easy to do many of with a Personal Compactor.
- In deemand items: Search for high volume items that maybe have multiple craft steps for extra profit.
- High-margin recipes (20–50% margins):
- Bits items: eg Jumbo Backpacks can be a way to double your coins each time
- Dungeon prep crafts: Items for end-game grind. Margins 30–60% if you get materials right.
- Pet food combos: Niche but 15–30% margins. 100k–500k/flip.
- Tracking: Use Craft Flips to monitor recipe profitability. Dump recipes with <8% margin.
3. AH flipping for high Coin (30–100%+ margins)
At 50M+, AH flipping should yield 30–100%+ margins on niche items.
- Meta pets: Dragon, Phoenix, Griffin. 20M–100M price range. 20–40% margins if you buy right.
- Hyperions: People are lazy and will prefer buying maxed or maxed looking Hypierions.
- Dungeon equipment: New drops from balances changes. 1M–10M range. 20–60% margins in first 2 weeks.
- Tip: Use AH Flipper to find undervalued items.
4. Profit reinvestment discipline
Reinvest 100% until 50M. After 50M, can bank 20–30% of profits safely.
Why? Compounding is exponential at scale. Holding or even spending coins before that slows growth.
Banking strategy once 50M+: Hoard 10M (emergency fund) + 5–10M (opportunity fund). Rest stays deployed.
5. Use premium tools for edge
Premium Bazaar Flips shows demand-based flips + real-time alerts.
Cost: Premium subscription (varies)
ROI: Average profits of premium users vs its cost are 10x better than buying Booster Cookies.
Common scaling mistakes
❌ Mistake: Holding Coin as "safety net"
Once you reach 20M+, you stop reinvesting "just in case." Result: 10M in Bazaar, 3M locked, 7M liquid. You miss 30% growth from deployed Coin.
Fix: Reinvest 100% until 50M. Then keep only 15–20% as reserves.
Timeline and expectations
| Coin Level | Daily ROI Target | Time to Next Level | Strategy Focus |
|---|
| 0–5M | 5–10% | 3 days | NPC, minions, farming and instant craft flips |
| 5M–100M | 12–18% | 7 days | Bazaar + Crafts + AH (minor) |
| 100M-1B | 8–15% | 14–30 days | AH primary, Bazaar |
| >1B | 5–10% | Indefinite (focus on stability) | High-margin plays only, limit risk mayor cycle based investing |
FAQ: Scaling to 100M+
How long does it take to reach 100M from 1M?
Theoretical minimum: ~90 days (if 20% daily ROI + reinvestment)
Realistic: With our Premium+ plan it should take about one week. If you are just using premium or our free tier it may take a couple of weeks. Most of our premium+ users have more than 1 billion networth and make an average of 100m per day or more.
At what Coin should I stop Bazaar flipping?
Never completely. The biggest limitation of flipping on hypixel skyblock is the limited order/auction slots. If you have multiple billions you may want to look into rare item investing.
