Hey Christian I've made well over $1500 total watching your vids and I love this side hustle so much. I have a couple of questions, when it comes to getting good prices at a cellphone repair spot. How do you get a good deal, do you just ask for a discount because you bring alot of business? Other question is listing on ebay. Could you make a video about listing on ebay man alot of people would love to see the process in an updated format. I originally found out about you seeing someone else interview you and list on ebay doing the same thing and it looked easy enough but a more in depth preview would be very very much appreciated!

@@kristiankumric Hey Kristian, I can see the phones you are selling are cheeper than my country. Can you ship them to Bangladesh? I flip phones in Bangladesh and I can easily sell them 50$ to 100$ more than your price in canada. If you're interseted, let us more discuss about it. It will be more profitable for Both,,,

[@1969MARKETING]

The two missing pieces for me is... 1. Showing the checks you do to verify the phone. Software used, etc. 2. Research method to actually find the phones you can sell for a profit. Granted anyone could get on ebay, fb marketplace, amazon, etc and buy a phone. However, buying a phone that you can flip for a profit is easier said than done. Those two points I think would make it more clear for anyone watching these videos.

[@kristiankumric]

Fair points, this video wasn’t exactly a tutorial, it was more me going out and showing that it works. I have other videos that share exactly how people can get started flipping phones

Another great video! It’d be nice to see the shipping options you put on ebay when you’re listing the phones . Like do you put express delivery or regular delivery, do you put the USA option ?

[@kristiankumric]

I do Canada only as I am in Canada. I normally pick all 3 of the options and let the buyer decide.

[@WindowCleaner-j5t]

What I’m kinda confused about is the screen repair shops and all that around my area want to charge around 100 to 200 sometimes even more to repair it. How are you expecting to make a somewhat decent profit from flipping phones when you go to spend that kind of money to repair them and the phone cost 100 and $200 itself and you’re only gonna get about three $400

[@kristiankumric]

You don’t need to buy broken phones to make profit. If you do choose to buy broken phones, you repair them yourself to cut cost by like 80%, or you build relationship with a repair tech for better rates. Those prices are high, search around and you will find substantially better rates.

Hello, im new to iphones but heard about how I could get scammed as the seller can report lost or stolen and get a new free one. Is that only if they have the applecare + plan. Do you ever use a bill of sale and ask for id? I feel like that could turn away a lot of people both scammers and legit, but if only the applecare plans last for 2-3 years then only devices that are younger then 3 years I need to be worried about?

@@kristiankumric thanks for replying. Is your ebay account "privileged " or something? 😀. Because i've posted a product on ebay before and it took me 6 months to sell it. Ehat is your secret ? 😀

[@kristiankumric]

You have to price pretty competitively for them to move at a good pace. Find compatibles that sold recently and list your item like 5-10 bucks lower. I also take really clear photos + add brand new chargers with the phones, which adds a lot of perceived value for very little extra cost. You make a little less profit per unit but being able to move them fast makes you a lot more money overall. (I’d rather sell 50 phones a month at a 20-30% profit margin, then wait a month to sell 5 phones at a 40-50% margin)

[@kristiankumric]

Another thing to keep in mind is every single person has a phone, and when they break it’s something people wanna replace asap. so the amount of people buying phones on the platform is a lot higher then the amount of people buying more niche products you may have tried in the past
