Anyone looking to buy New iPhone 6?
« on: September 08, 2014, 11:13:25 PM »
There are those out there who buy the new iPhones at a premium the 1st few days/weeks that its on
the market to sell overseas at a premium? Anyone in that business?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I have been involved in that but I've never done it myself. If you can get your hands on 1000 iPhones within the first few days, let me know.

Correct, but that doesn't help you unless you want to sit and sell the phones yourself.

But the deal which most of the brokers offer is $5-$20 (on top of cost) per phone. The benefit that interests the average Joe, is earning the miles/points from spending thousands of $$ as well as meeting spending thresholds.
This can technically be considered MS.

The op is looking for someone that does sit and sell the phones in a diff country as opposed to making $5-$20 to order the iPhones.
If you know someone that is planning on selling the iPhone 6 in Israel pls pm me.

Rule #1 is always remember http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=36812.0

That being said I have bought over $500k of IPhones, Google phones etc. over the last couple of years for a few different brokers and was paid back every last penny plus a few thousand dollars in commission (and a few hundred thousand miles spending thresholds etc.)

When the IPhone just comes out commissions are much higher ($30-$40) per phone and laler drop to $10-15 per phone).

You have to ship the phones to them (states without tax) and they pay you 1-2 weeks (depends on the broker) after they get the phones.
They can mail you a check or pay the cc directly.

how do you find a trustworthy broker
how many phones do they expect you to buy

5-500

You build a relationship I started with $1000 and now I am comfortable swiping $50-100k.

Having other people paying you bill on a constant basis is a big red flag for CC companies.

I've had accounts where I didn't even pay 1 bill myself  spending thousands every month for more then a year.
I've never heard of this being a red flag so I'm not gonna argue with you but my personal experience is not like that.

Are there any brokers who will pay right away with Paypal? Like this they can dispute the transaction if they don't receive the phones.

Do they sell for a Premium on eBay right after launch? Especially if you ship internationally?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Doubt tmobile one is unlocked. Why not just buy the unlocked one?

Anyone have experience buying them in Deleware right after launch? The store is probably a mob scene...
