@@nomecognome2 dipende di dove sei in Italia. Perchè io sono stato sia al nord e al sud (di più al sud perchè sono Siciliano), e non ho visto neanche una persona con un iPhone (neanche uno vecchio).

Thanks kristian, you've inspired me to start flipping! I really hope you dont stop these videos, your channel keeps growing everyday! Maybe do a video on exactly what you look for when clicking on a listing, and tips.
im a 15 yr old freshman in highschool and i have an extra iphone 8 lying around in my house, ive grinded all of your videos and i downloaded your google sheet. im all set to start the grind. thank you for the amazing inspirations :)
@@NitrixCodm that’s what I was confused about too, I’m thinking about getting an e-scooter. The only bad thing is the battery life but ig it’ll have to do. have you figured out any other solution?
Accessories don’t really matter. Shipping is easy, you print the label directly from eBay or take it to the post office and show them a QR code, then you don’t need a printer.
Very cool experiment! Also, the new 15s have way more features under the hood that you might think! Even if it looks the same, they are not! Twins look the same but they are 2 different people!
Do you think it's easiest to sell on eBay as opposed to other platforms? Are you ever concerned about the eBay fees? Or in your opinion, is selling back on FB marketplace the best idea? Also, when selling the phones, do you just buy several cheap iphone chargers to sell with them to the customers?
@@fadedjossi1871 So really just reselling them on the same platform you bought them off of? Do you usually fix them up at all? I know cracked screens and stuff are expensive.
I usually just trade in with my carrier. Not sure if this works in Europe, but I went from an iPhone SE 2nd gen to a 14, and then traded that for a 15 pro.
So I’ve been selling phones for about a month now and it’s going decent but I keep my search for phones in a 25 mile range, how far are you willing to travel for a phone?
Do you ever have an issue with the “genuine” apple parts thing when repairing? Also do you keep generic chargers stocked? Or do you always get chargers with the phones
Definitely curious about his because when I repaired a phone I was gonna flip it had that non genuine part message and made it very very difficult to resell, nobody wanted it just because of the non genuine message
@@gengisanimal1047 wow, how weird that nobody wanted to buy a used phone just because it was repaired and done so with chinese parts instead of going to an actual authorized repair shop and getting original parts. You do realize that what you do is essentially a scam, right? This guy is selling a 2 year old phone for almost the full price, probably without mentioning that it actually had a cracked screen that was replaced with some knock off glass for 50 bucks. If you give your buyer a full disclosure and he still agrees to buy the phone after knowing it was broken and repaired, then it's all good, but if you keep that information to yourself, you scammed him
Please go in depth about the screen replacement, I have a problem with my iPhone 13 Pro… the black part was removed but the digitizer is still there on that silver plate. Can I just buy heat sink graphite and replace the black stickers and put a new screen glass because the new screen is very pricey 😬
awesome content Kristian bro love it i remember doing this same challenge a few years ago and i got stuck half way through lol but i always love seeing content like this bro
Ive listed my android (xiaomi poco x4 pro 5G 128 GB) in both facebook and ebay for just over a month and still no luck. Its basically brand new i only had it for like 2 months combined but no luck
Hey I don’t know if you’re reading this but if you do can you please reply because I have a question. So I’ve been into flipping sneakers and high clothing brand for a while but I finally got into the iPhone flipping like you. I bought my first iPhone 12 and iPhone 14 yesterday and bought an iPhone 14 plus today. I listed them on eBay, I have 42 positive reviews and no negatives. Is it normal for not to have that many views or watchers on the first day for iPhones? I sold my iPhone 11 because I wanted a 15 and it sold in a matter of 30 minutes but so far I have for the iPhones I bought I don’t have that many ppl looking at them. Should I do auctions or just sell for a normal price? Thank you so much for your channel, you’ve been such a positive impact and a great helper!
Hey, ive been selling phones and electronics on ebay for a while now, im 13 and do electonic flipping. Its not normal for phones to get so little views, they should get at least 10 or 20 within a day. This means you either have bad pictures, title, or 99% of the time bad pricing. You need to sell what other phones are selling for at least, if you have it at 900$ and other phones like it are selling for 850 or even 875 then you will not even get clicks. If you want some extra help reply and ill send you my discord or number and i can help you with the listings, as i always sell my stuff within a day or 2. One good tip is have offers on and put a lower price to sell really fast
yeah but i dont live in a popular city the capital is pretty far and in facebook marketplace people are selling iphones only in my capital city and plus i cant drive there cus im not old enough but i really like the idea and wish i would live in popular city

If you're new to selling they'll hold your funds. I don't know the amount of sales you need but you can eventually get paid right after you make the sale.
In China we also have websites similar to eBay and we have to be very very careful when we buy second-hand iPhone.because there are too many scammers. 😅
In Malaysia it's really hard to get these iphones at a cheap price. The iPhone X still at a very pricey price. And as a android user I sometimes wonder on how it feels like to use iPhone. You inspired me to do this stuff ! I'm hoping to get iPhone 12 Pro by at the end of this month as its my dream phone.
eBay takes approx 25-30% -even on shipping. And eBay will also skim off the exchange rates for international sellers. On average you can expect to receive 65-70% of the sold price. Finally, you have to report this income to government, and they will take some of that total too. Keep it real.
Where the heck are you getting 25-30%, it’s 8% fees. There is not a single business you can do where you don’t have to pay taxes on your income? Are you suggesting you should stop making money because you will be taxed on it?
I’ve been selling on eBay since 2000. It’s definitely not 8% deductions, it’s tiered by product, the value, insert fees, promos, seller rating, international sale etc. Many members wouldn’t have left the platform complaining about fees if it was only a flat 8%.Taxes on eBay income was noted because people forget that comes later. My point of the post was there’s deductions so what appears like a large profit to “new sellers”, is not necessarily the case. People have been flipping products forever, you just need to know your product and the market. Godspeed.
Dude you keep buying just the iPhone but then when you sell it on eBay you include other stuff like the charger where do you get the charger and how do you find phones that easily on Facebook marketplace?
Hey great video only thing im struggling on is how to get more phones like whats a good rule of thumb to know how much to offer like too low its a lowball offer but too high and you either break even or low margins
My only issue with phone flipping is that other phone flippers are so quick and when the listing is just getting posted they immediately get a deal.
True, I once found a Zflip 3 for 45€ and I was the 5th potential buyer less than an hour after it got on ebay but I was somehow willing to pay the most and got it
Ok
got no car
I check constantly and I sell on marketplace also which isn’t very safe because I’ve almost gotten robbed before
They lie it takes a few days to get a sale
I can respect flippers who actually repair the items instead of just reselling them for higher prices, so bravo, you've earnt a new sub.
