The now iconic iPhone, is in high demand, even used.
Unlike
the android phones, the iPhones hold their value much longer. This
means there is a vibrant second hand market for the phones. iPods are no
different, and now the iPad has been added to the vibrant used Apple
device market. How can you get in on this market fast, and make a
profit, starting tomorrow?
Skill #1: Buying.
The
skills you need to enter the used iPhone, iPod, and iPad market are not
hard to gain. You simply have to be familiar with the devices, and what
they are worth at the time you're buying them. Use Google and ask
friends to get the basic feel for each device, and how they work.
The
second part of the buying skill is finding that iPhone, iPod or iPad
for a low enough price that you can make a handsome profit with it. Use
Craigslist and eBay to get a feel for what you'll be asking for each
device. Once you do this, decide what you need for a profit, and you're
ready to make offers to owners.
To get the opportunity to make
offers, you can start by simply shooting off offers to sellers on
Craigslist. However, to make this work, you need to have incoming calls,
emails, and text from people wanting to sell to you. To do this, run
wanted ads anywhere it makes sense. Make a business card up which says,
"WANTED! Dead, Wounded or Alive: iPhones, iPods, and iPads for CASH
Today." That's also the ad you should run.
Flyers produce Sellers!
Make
up a flyer, buy some thin plastic bags which are long enough to tie to a
door knob, and put it on 5,000 doors. You can flyer about 100 doors an
hour. People break their iPhone, iPod, or iPad, and they stick it in a
drawer. Why? Because Apple wants an arm and a leg to fix them.
Incredibly, you'll come across people with two or three or more in a
drawer.
Skill #2: Selling.
Flyers also
produce buyers, so be sure to always say in your ads that you sell them
too. The Apple devices are so wonderful, so well made and easy to use,
there is a market anywhere you let people know you have an iPhone, iPod,
or iPad for sale. You can sell at the swap meet, on Craigslist, and on
eBay. You can also make a deal with your local computer repair or iPhone
repair shop, so that they are willing to list your inventory.
The
real sweet end of this business is export. If you are originally from
another country, check and see what used iPhones, iPods, and iPads are
worth there - they are probably worth a lot more than you think.
