Flipping iPhone 5 from Apple itself
« on: October 21, 2014, 04:03:10 pm »
So, let's pretend a friend worked in an Apple repair center and could hypothetically get a few phones out without being caught. The phones aren't perfect but they work great. No longer on service and factory restored. Let's pretend someone could have the audacity to try and sell them. Where could somebody sell them without having their name associated with the sale?
Again, I'm only making up this story for the simple reason of creating conversation.

That was a thought in this story, but where else?

ebay

sanctuary marketplace gets google hits, I've had several successful transactions on &t2 from randoms who found me on google.

how much would you be selling them for? find a friend in another city, work together.

if they are cheap enough, I may buy a few to sell around here

Given they are not perfect (some have rear camera problems, some with a bit of debris under the glass, etc.) but they're returns for the Power button issues that have been fixed. I think they'd hypothetically go for $175 each***see edit, based on what can be found on eBay.  But that's only if this person decided to try this hypothetical story.

***EDIT: I looked on the eBayz.. these hypothical devices could go for between $100-$200 depending on size.

My associate says he has them and is slipping some out today, and for anyone interested to name their price (be reasonable)

48 hours no contact. Guess that was a bad idea.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

I've not received any PM's from you, General. I've already spoken with Rook and MoaningLisa. Worked out something with them, so that's no fault on my end.
