Flipmine is alive and fine.
Here's the honest comparison anyway.
No funeral on this page — Flipmine works, and after Zen Arbitrage went dark it's the other living option for eBay→Amazon book flips. What differs is what gets verified before you spend money. Both columns below stay legible.
Same channel. Different burden of proof.
Both products hunt the same structural edge: books mispriced on eBay that resell higher on Amazon. Flipmine's pitch is scale and speed — "search 2 million live opportunities," dozens of filters, $49/month with a 7-day trial.
FlipClear's bet is that the number on the card has to survive contact with reality: the source listing is liveness-checked, the profit shown is the net after Amazon fees and inbound shipping (verified against Amazon's own fee API for connected sellers), and gating is flagged before you buy, not discovered at listing time. As of July 15, 2026, flipmine.com does not advertise any of those three — if that changes, this page will change.
Credit where due: Flipmine prices fairly. $49 flat, a real trial, and cancel-anytime — the billing bar the dead incumbents never met. If you want a raw high-volume search box and you're comfortable verifying listings, fees and gating yourself, it's a legitimate choice.
Same job. Different mechanics.
Straight answers
Is Flipmine cheaper?
Depends on usage. Flipmine is $49 flat no matter what. FlipClear starts free (15 credits, no card) and plans start at $24/mo; you spend credits only when you unlock a verified deal. Light and mid-volume flippers usually come out ahead; a very heavy unlocker could pay more — run your own numbers, we're not going to pretend otherwise.
Can I just use both?
Yes, and some sellers will. They index the same channel differently and neither has exclusivity on eBay's mispricing. FlipClear's free tier makes the overlap test cheap.
Why should I trust your feed's numbers more?
Don't trust — audit. Signup is free with no card, and your first credits let you open full deal dossiers and check our net math against your own spreadsheet, Keepa, or anything else. If the number doesn't hold up, you've spent nothing.
