@@kristiankumric Sounds awesome! Maybe make a Facebook store as well? So people come to you instead of you going out looking for them. 👀
@@kristiankumric yes please
@@kristiankumric bruh im going to get in to the business and have about 250 in my wallet. weird question but how long would you estimate it would take me to change this to a valve index which is a grand. and great vid btw
You should show the process of you checking a phone, battery health, iCloud lock, etc
Just filmed a video showing my entire testing process!
What video is that? Thanks
@@kristiankumrici know the video is old but, where do I find the video
Link to video please?
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!
Extremely insightful! I'm constantly gaining information to hopefully someday start my own phone flipping business, thanks for being consistent with the uploads also, you're gonna be at 1000 subs soon!
Appreciate your constant support! Rooting for you in your future phone flipping endeavours!
Can you share a little more about how you find a phone repair shop, what to look for, how much it costs, etc. ?
Yep this is my dream and starting business about fixing iPhone but idk where to find good replacement screens,batteries,back glass
WOW 😊 I found my new side hustle 🎊 🎉 About to DD to start it up ❤ I am so tired of struggling..
Babe wake up Kristian uploaded
❤❤
Motivation bro 💯, should make this a series. im getting started soon
Might have a larger series similar to this in the works!
Keep going brother, we love you ❤❤
❤️❤️
Thank you!
make a video on the exact check you do when purchasing a
phone and the time it takes
great video by the way
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 ?
I do Canada only as I am in Canada. I normally pick all 3 of the options and let the buyer decide.
How do you know which offer to accept on eBay, aren’t some offers scammers? By the way, thanks for the advice, great video!
Depends on where you at
A $100-$1000 is phenomenal
Well played and planned man
Thank you!
Brilliant!
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON YOUR EXCEL SPREADSHEET AND IMVENTORY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Im trying to save around 5000 for a Custom Built PC with a Custom Case (aka a portable desk that fits in my vehicle because I think it would be cool), I might try this
this is the best hustle ive ever found on the internet, i currently got like 3 dollars but im selling my ps4 for 150 dollars and then im going to buy my first 11
hey man, 7 months later, did it work out for you?
I am just doing the same thing haha
Solid video Kristian!
Thanks Michael
@@kristiankumric Hey Kristian, I can see the phones you are selling are cheeper than my country. Can you ship them to Bangladesh? I flip phones in Bangladesh and I can easily sell them 50$ 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,,,
Hey Kristian, for how much would a iPhone 13 get sold on eBay in USD? Awesome video.
Do you check the iCloud, eim #, and battery condition before or after you purchase?
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.
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
That was British pounds not dollars
@@Scapone2001canadanian dollars
@@flutje5961 cana danian lol
this chnnel is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo underrated i thought u had like 300k subs or so:>>
Did u fix all the iphones that were messed up or did u just sell some of them as is?
Please make a video of texting skills and how to negotiate from zero to making a deal. Thanks
Quick question, my biggest concern when buying in places like marketplace or eBay is the fact that after selling my the phone the buyer might report the phone as stolen or report the IMEI number is that possible??
How do you calculate the mailing cost when the phone is already purchased? I mean you can't go back to the client and tell the price once they already paid your price..?
Should I use PayPal with eBay ? To protect my money if the customer complains or something
How much does eBay charge for fees? Do you have to open up a eBay store for the eBay fees to stay low?
Where do you check the value how much a phone is worth??
Where do you buy cheap phones
Really good Video🔥
Thanks max!
How do you deal with apple disabling Face ID everytime you put a new screen on an iPhone?
Nice video!
I'd love to start flipping phones but i cant since i don't have facebook marketplace in my country and since shipping to my country is 30+ usd on ebay. Do you have any advice how i should start?
How much would you need to start without repair
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?
so how much was it to repair the iphones the screens and stuff??
Hey bro anymore advice im starting my iphone business i bought a iphone 11 a xr a 12 and 2 iphone 8 pluses andi bought all the parts but the screws i stripped trying to fix the lcd screens
new subscriber keep going like the channel
How do you check if it is iCloud locked? And if it is, can the seller disable it right in front of you? Like sign out or something?
Where are you getting the screens repaired for so cheep?
Just started watching your videos so excuse me if you've already done this, but can you go over the process of what all to check on an iphone? I would assume how the touch screen functions, the volume, the battery function, the imei, etc. But what else? What would be the full run down (or the important ones?) Thanks, like the video.✌️
Actually posted the full process of buying a phone from start to finish last week! Videos up on my channel. “How to sell iPhones for profit”
I go over everything I typically test (you listed most of them in this comment haha)
@@kristiankumric Cool, how about that? Good timing! I'mma check it out right now. Thanks.
I’m actually learning to repair phones as we speak, specifically iPhones. How many days in total it took you to make that above $1,000 profit in this video?
can I do this when I live in europe?
Where do you find people changing original iphone 12 back screens for 60 bucks =/
What is the name of your Ebay store?
great vids! very helpful. thanks!!! Do you use the same account to buy and sell?
I buy on facebook and sell on ebay
Wow you get incredible deals man. And what me wonders the most is that people are actually ready to spend 400+$ for an iphone 12. Here in Germany you'll be lucky you get barely 250+ for the same model. Besides everyone is trying to screw you over haha
$250 euros or dollars? My family is from Croatia and prices are crazy high for phones there
If I were you I’d look into buying them for low in Germany and selling to cell phone shops in other smaller European countries!
@@kristiankumric yeah the currency is euro. When it comes to buying phones one major problem is that there aren't many sites to look for. It's really limited. Marketplace for example is full of scammers. No chance you find something there. But I'll definitely try selling them across Europe for better margin.
Recently subbed, curious why you drive to everyone for the phones and not have them come to you?
hes the on that wants the phone, if the seller drove to potential buyers, the buyers may just change their mind and not end up buying therefore wasting the sellers time
Get better deals if you pick them up, also don’t want a bunch of people showing up to my house haha. Thanks for the sub 🙏
Do you soend your own money to fix our the money from selling the phone
How do you avoid the return scams on ebay? When i search this up on youtube i always see tons of videos on youtube of people sending out items an people returning an empty package with the seller ultimately losing money
Not sure how common that is, I’ve never had that happen to me
How are you fixing the screens on these for example the cracked xr
Pull the screen off and unplug old screen replace with new, plus there could be seals for the screen
how far do you drive?
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 $400
You don’t need to buy broken phones to make profit. If you do choose to buy broken phones, you repair them yourself to cut cost by like 80%, or you build relationship with a repair tech for better rates.
Those prices are high, search around and you will find substantially better rates.
What if you’re underage trying to earn money is this viable
Can you make a video showing us how you check the phones and what you check for
Filming a full phone flipping tutorial today. Will be up on Sunday.
Hi there. Since the screens are cracked, when you replace the screen doesn't the face ID stop working? Do you just advertise it as face ID not working?
Face ID still works
Facebook has block me from market place how can i fo ?
I want a 12 but i cant get one my 11 errt crack and i cant barly use it 😢
How do I avoid getting scammed on ebay
how much does shipping cost though? lables n stuff to ?
Buyer pays shipping
WHO busy an XR for 235$ when u get them thrown After u for 150-180? Pls Tell me
Got that dawg in him
❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you repair the back glass yourself?
Normally yes, for the video I paid someone $50 to do it for me because I thought that would be more realistic for anyone trying to do this themselves
how many hours would you estimate that you took to accomplish this within a week?
Not sure to be honest, most of the time went into filming/editing the video. I’d estimate a couple hours a day. Maybe a few more hours on the weekend.
You can definitely do this while working a full time job
Do you charge the buyer for shipping on ebay?
Yup!
Heyy bro I wanted to ask with Phone Flipping is it advisable to run FB ads.? Or can you leverage off of Facebook Marketplace, FB groups and Craigslist are these free methods effective enough? Thanks bro look forward to hear from you
I’ve personally always had the best experience finding the phones myself, I’ve heard of other people having success with ads
I’ve ran paid ads for a few months now and have had great success
@@IsaacSeusy oooh great can you show me?
Love the vid but a tip for you is maybe holding the mic a bit lower from your mouth because sometimes it sound a little to loud, keep going!!
Haha yeah figured that out the hard way, fixed it in the new vids!
I have a question, how do you go about signing out of apple stuff when you buy the phones when it comes to iphone?
Have the buyer sign out before you meet up
@@kristiankumric What if the screen is broken beyond use?
@@bradleymiley1322 good question what then??
Wait so, where are you from because the money looks different from the U.S. bills?
Canada 🇨🇦

Great content and the 786 is always lucky
Are iPhones the only phones profitable
I’m not being negative towards it I would love to get into it. I just need to understand why my math is not mathing right lol I wanna make it max profit as I can.
How do you test the phone, what are you looking for?
Just uploaded a new video showing my full testing process!
Once I got gun point by a scammer that agreed to meet up in a secured area
good thing there are no guns in my country
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,,,
Normally sell them for quite a bit higher then this locally. In the videos I sell them for less to move them quickly
Hi Kristian, this is a pretty unrelated question but I've just set up a facebook account to use to buy/sell the phones but I've tried to send messages to people and only the first two have sent, now my messages will not send to anybody on that account. How can I fix this? Or if this is normal for a new account how long will this go on for?
It’s going to be a bit harder to do with a new account, did you not already have a Facebook account you could use?
People tend to be a bit sketched out when it comes to meeting up with new accounts on marketplace
@@kristiankumric I do, I just wanted it to look more professional. I can do it on my other account but I was just thinking its easier to keep everything separate. Do you know of there being some kind of restriction on messages for new accounts? Really confused at how to solve it
Not sure if there’s any restriction. I would strongly recommend using your personal account if you want to do this, people trust personal accounts a lot more.
does it matter if the phone is locked or unlocked?
It does I’m pretty sure locked means that the phone has a passcode or it’s I cloud locked
Minus the gasoline you spend to move around
He has a Tesla lol
@@rizwan6375this is a comeback that made me laugh
When selling on eBay do you accept offers or do you just let customers outright buy the phone? I’ve listed a phone but I get nothing but offers or scams, so i’m not really to sure how to go about it, it’s my first time using eBay to resell anything so I was just wondering how the process works
Also do you only buy unlocked devices? Or is there a way to bypass blacklisted/carrier locked devices?
@@notAuneron his video he said he had the phone for a set price but had an offer button for people to negotiate with him 😊
@@notAuneryou can buy unlocked phones if you want but you can also buy phones with one carrier and it will still sell
Nailed it, appreciate the helpful responses!
Here in Canada phones all come unlocked
Nice Vid However You do live in Canada and all Canada phones come unlocked so they are easier to sell. Phones will sell in 5 minutes on eBay as soon as you list them but it was still a cool challenge. Starting with $100 is something different keep it up.
Noice
The problem with this is regional area do matters too
Not sure if it would work in countries outside of North America, that’s a good point!
In my next video im going to be trying to buy phones directly from eBay to resell. That should be a lot more accessible
@@kristiankumric works in the uk too
That's my excuse, except instead of having $100 I'm literally broke my bank account has like 0,05€ in it 💀
J
Do people really buy iphones on ebay? How is that even possible with the tone of iphones on that website?
Not sure what you mean by tone of phones? people definitely purchase lots phones on eBay though!
@@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 ? 😀
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)
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
@@kristiankumric got i! Thanks a lot! Keep them coming
*mic drop*
You on Facebook marketplace?
I buy on Facebook marketplace yes
This is useless for me since I don’t have my license yet😢
It's not being able to sell the phones, it's mostly about how many bills you have. If you don't have bills than anyone who's doing this can make a lot of money.
I'm 16 I have about 500 dollars you I can make it
Is this ur full time job?
Buying and selling on Facebook like this isn’t my full time job, I just do it for these videos to show people how they can get started.
My full time thing is operating my actual business haha (we still sell phones, just buy wholesale and do it at a much larger scale)
@@kristiankumric teach me please
This is not for smaller cities? I started doing this in my city with around 1.3 million people is this good enough for phonefliping?
This works anywhere
@@kristiankumricare you from balkan? Btw I bought iphone 12 mini(290€)and iphone 12(360€) both are mint condition and they have everything from the box. How much should i put them on sale? Iphone 12 mini battery is 79% and iphone 12 is 85% with 6 phpnecases
We cannot do that in india🫥
