Who Wants to make some MONEY??

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.

each person who brings one will want $

[Bettracker]

Pay for ppl to take one along.

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

The problem with what your saying is that when you want to sell them in Israel. There's a big difference in price if the box is opened or closed.

That is true but I usually offer $50 or 100 Shekel. Whatever I can get away with.

First of all u might get stopped at the customs anyways even with "only" 2 sealed iphones u might face some problems. Second of all, it was mentioned before the steep ebay + paypal fees if u r using ebay. Your calculation is also missing some items. First of all, your iphone will run for $199+tax= 232 + 350 ETF = 582 + whatever charges u r going to incur for your sprint plan (i.e. they will not give you 14 days for free. U will create a line for each of thise phones and will have to incur the additional line fee as well as the mandatory internet... Bottom line, IMHO not worth it, also, i dont think u will have time to breakeven before u ll have to pay your CC.

Anyways, for the US, I think it is a dead deal. For Israel, it is a good deal when u have 1-2 to sell but for that quantity, I think u r not calculating the risks accurately enough...

Some of what you said is true. But first of all, after 14 days you may cancel which means if you do cancel on the 15th day & pay your cancellation fees then you have your iphones free & clear. So that means that your only putting on the charges on your credit card for 15 days plus how long it takes to flip. & you usually have 40-50 days to pay your bill from the date you put on  the charge. So in that aspect I think your a little off. Also with the taxes, it depends where your shipping your phones too. Also your 100% correct they will not give you 14 days for free. But when your ready to cancel & you call them up & tell them (& they can see for themselves) that you haven't used any minutes, let alone not even activated the device you can get them to refund you the amount for the actual plan.

For a 100 phones??? 

[ahecht37]

say u sold 15-20 here and then the rest in Israel, it would make it easier to make money faster without flooding the market

[ahecht37]

iIcan't see them refunding it, they will be angry about loosing 100 phones

As I said, earn a bit less, save lots of headache. You anyway need to open to unlock.

If unsealed just to see that the phone works, ie, you can see that the phone is brandnew with original screen-plastic price should not lower.

Pay $50 per guy bringing it over.

You don't need to reveal all your sources.

Hey, I might have a guy selling wholesale iphones in israel.

If guys here are interested, pm me the price + iphone size + whether locked or not.

I don't the last part about flooding the market? 100 iphones do not flood the iphone market. Also I'm trying to sell as much as I can in Israel because that's just the more profitable way to go.

First of all, my guy in Israel wants them sealed & then he unlocks them. What do you mean wholesale iphones is Israel? Let's see if we can make some money.

When they're selling you 104 phones are they making you open up 104 new lines? You will need a lot of credit if that's the case.

No.

[Saver2000]

No.

How do you figure?

[doodley]

No.

so anyone with any sort of acct could buy 104 phones? What do they activate it on?

[Bettracker]

You have to have good credit. Definitely not bad. But you don't have to have amazing credit like 800+ is all I'm saying.

[rots5]

why dont you personally put them on ebay now and see if they get any hits then you can go do ur shtick, first see if itll get taken, second i would suggest try getting those phones to IL  theyll pay a lot more per phone i think, and also; maybe try selling it as a plan - meaning iphone with plan for 700 - and thye take over the plan,

With wholesale I mean that he'd buy more than 2-3 pieces.

So you have someone in Israel who will buy them? or sell them?
