Please re-read what I wrote, I wouldn't want anyone walking around naked just 'wrapped' with a barrel + blacklisted.

I have some experience with Sprint with a similar situation... not worth the risk IMHO

And what SuperFlyer said is very true. I am in the eBay iPhone market for a while... I couldn't agree more

this would work on a smaller scale as well

@ ahecht37: read the whole thread, its not that long.

I'm not eligible for any iphone deal, so my warnings are unbiased.

iIread it several times already, but I when I asked what risk there was, I was responding to name changed, and I meant risk from Sprint as opposed to risk if loosing money on the deal, still it could be worth
doing on a smaller scale with less risk

Sprint could shut you down for purchasing phones and canceling. If you do a few you could get away, but if you are doing 20+ there is a high risk involved.

Yes but if there's a chance of getting black listed then you might want to do as much as possible to maximize on your profit.

But doing too many iPhones you run into the risk of the market price dropping (which it will) and then you will be stuck with phones that wont have a profit, or possible a loss

can u do it with a new account, you or only on an existing one?

First of all, that is true to hit the $800 in the U.S.A. But you can still profit around $50 each at $600 per phone that still is like around $5,000. But also the price that it goes for in Israel is about $900-$1,150 each. I have at least 10 friends who are going to Israel after Sukkos & they will each take 2 a"h. & I'm working getting more people to take them for me there. So the profit varies. But in the end you will still make a pofit.

I was talking about a brand new one.

Selling in Israel makes already way more sense.

Just buy* to resell, no need to put yourself in debt or share profit by needing to take a loan/partner with someone.

That is true. But it's about getting them there. I don't want to travel with 50 iphones & having the chance of getting stopped by customs.

Pay for ppl to take one along.

You could put on or two on yourself, but sending the boxes (empty) with someone else.

Yes, I have a very good relationship with a Russian guy who owns a cellular store in Jerusalem & he always buys my phones off me at a good price (When I sold him last time between 15-20 iphone 4s) & I have another guy who buys them off me, but I don't know him as well.
