Just wondering if your resell market is domestic or in US . Would appreciate your thoughts

[@garygnu8775]

Marketplace does that seem to be responsive. I've been trying to get rid of this 128 GB IPhone 12, and the only responses keep lowballing the crap out of me. It has an AT&t carrier on it.

I live in Zimbabwe ,I started in 2022 September ,I really had no capital ,I got to raise my capital by saving up money from selling other people’s phones ,so the business really started with $180usd in April 2023 right now it’s 28 Jan 2024 and I have over $7000usd in revenue…I’m a 18 year old man,hoping to get over $20k by the end of the year ,hopping to inspire someone 😊thank you

[@Shah-gv3wt]

Im in a similar situation rn, i just wanted to know where do u sell the phone do u sell them irl or online? In my experience ppl dont trust u buying expensive phones in small cities online

I’m 15 years old and looking into starting my own cell phone repair business as a side hustle, I have no previous experience with repairing phones or electronics at all. But I’ve ordered the hand tools, a hot plate, and some cosmetic things. I have my old iPhone 11 Pro Max that needs a screen repair, back glass, and hopefully just a battery replacement. Your videos have been very helpful and very informative. Im really hoping that this may be something I can learn to do well and hopefully get some money in my pocket. I appreciate you putting the effort you do into your videos, it dosent go unnoticed. Stay well and God bless

These margins are dreamy. Its hard getting good deals in Montreal. I'm averaging around 120 profit/phone and most of the good deals are more than 1h away.

[@kristiankumric]

120 is still really good! I’m usually driving a bit for these phones, it’s not bad if you set up a few.

[@LoganStiles]

This is great profit honestly

[@nateshot6185]

Sometimes you get lucky. I just got a 14 pro max for $350 and sold for $600. Just gotta be patient.

​@@nateshot6185 How long did it take you to sell it?

[@jensondouglas9083]

@kristiankumric how can I find wholesale buyers?

[@pino9055]

I love to see Modrić jersey in the background, glad to see another Croatian making money with phones, you've really done well for yourself, good for you man. I myself fix and flip phones here in Croatia too, it's a much smaller market meaning there are less opportunities, so it's much harder than in Canada, I guess. I make around $900-1100 a month. It's a little less than average Croatian salary and I only work for about 8 hours a week, pretty happy considering I'm still in college.

[@kristiankumric]

That’s awesome! Where do you sell your phones? njuškalo? I’m actually looking to start exporting inventory to Croatia, the prices look very good there. Do phones sell fast?

[@pino9055]

I replied to your comment but seems like KZbin deleted my reply. So anyways, I would say 80% of my sales come from Facebook marketplace and 20% from Njuškalo. Njuškalo is just not that effective it seems, I know why it's like that but if I start explaining I can go on and on for days. When it comes to how fast they sell, right now I haven't had a single phone for more than 4 days, most of the time I post a phone and it's sold tomorrow. But that's because I change batteries and I can spot weld too, so I almost always sell phones with 100% battery health which sounds very good to the customers, but I sell for a reasonable price too. I have also sold broken phones (FaceID not working, volume buttons not working, speakers not working) and they all sold like crazy for the right price. As for the exporting part of the story, I think that would be good I sometimes watch your videos and am beyond shocked at how low of a price you get them for compared to Croatian prices. I can give you my email or phone number, if you want, so that we can connect over mail or Whatsapp and continue the conversation, maybe we could make some money together. Looking forward to hearing from you man.

Nice to see us Croatians around the world doing the sam job.I live in small city called Sibenik and the biggest issue is to sell the repaired phone, it takes too long to sell it. So I had to adapt and bought myself glass separating machine. I focused on android phones but it looks like I will have to switch to iphones, becouse the last iphone X and XS that I repaired sold in like 2 days.Thanks for the advices and motivation. @@kristiankumric

Love your vids Kristian! Could you do another repair video? I have been repairing and reselling but some of the issues that come with phones I'm not sure how to fix, and don't know if I should buy. Such as broken Face ID, battery not charging, flickering screen, etc. Most of these issues are said to be replaced with a screen repair or battery replacement, but I've seen some sources say that sometimes those things don't work.

[@kristiankumric]

Thank you! Certain issues can’t be fixed unless you understand soldering etc, I recommend avoiding those phones if you are having issues. Just stick to basic screen replacements and back glass while you build up capital

I do this with cameras. I buy them locally and sell them on eBay. I started January 2023 and finished up 2023 with 85k in sales, about 30k in profit. Hoping this year I can double that! I am going to look in to flipping phones but I don't know much about iPhones (I use android) but I am willing to learn. I am always concerned about carrier locks and iCloud locks.

[@limetubel5484]

Hey kristian I was just wondering, do you buy carrier locked phones and if so how much off do you try to get?

[@seanyzay]

It just really doesn't make sense. 14:38 for example : Iphone 13 pro you're going to sell for 8-900 dollars to a wholesaler yet they're literally cheaper than that on ebay. So you're wholesaler is buying above ebay's prices which is basically what determines market price.

[@kristiankumric]

Prices are CAD, also eBay value doesn’t determine market price with wholesalers. Most of them are exporting or selling on platforms where devices sell for a premium over eBay.

[@paulduke6412]

Kristian I’m in Montreal and the lowest I’m seeing IPhone XR for is 200$..how do you do it 😂. Do you do the repairs yourself? Would you consider doing a video on that and the tools/resources you use?

i have made decent money with phone flipping around 1000€-2000€ a month in finland but sometimes there is some suprice errors or sloppy mistakes repairing too expensive,selling too cheap because no buyers,breaking phone after fixing,sleeping when there is buyers,doing to much making 5 deals at the same time stressing tf out and crashing. I am thinking i should get many screens for cheap from china before hand then it would be better profit and more chill because i only need to buy fix at home and sell ,not hustling with repairer…. simply need to focus more do it more smoothly i am so fkn lazy and sloppy….😂😂

[@Mindheisting]

probably so much easier to sell in something like ebay a little rough sometimes to do everything face to face….

[@Mindheisting]

also need to start having a book about how much paid profit per phone…..

Definitely recommend making everything as simple as possible, no need to rush things, put them on eBay and build slowly

I wanted to ask about the taxes on the profits you make and also that is it legal for an international student ? Eagerly waiting for your answer

You pay income tax as any other business would, not sure about legalities for international students, not sure why you wouldn’t be able to do it

[@IsaacSeusy]

I was so confused when you said 1200 for a 13 pro max, cause Canadian dollars are worth less than us dollar. 1200 U.S. is 1600 Canadian 😂

[@frozen1518]

You get a higher profit because you’re in Canada, for example the iPhone 12 Pro that you were selling for 550 in USA is 450 so it’s kinda harder for me to profit

Thank you for sharing the video! I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions, sorry if you already answered those in some videos. I'm curious about your process of purchasing phones from Facebook Marketplace and later selling them again on Facebook.. Additionally, do you let people pick your phones up in person? I ask because I'm in Portugal, and eBay isn't used here. Perhaps I could focus on utilizing Facebook Marketplace instead. Furthermore, is there a method to determine the typical market price? This would help me calculate my potential profit margins. And lastly, I am living in a smaller village but am willing to maybe drive a couple of times a week to a big city to pick up phones to sell them here. Do you think that's a good idea. Your insights are greatly appreciated!!!
