Craigslist and eBay are both sites where people advertise their old personal belongings for sale. Here's how you can make money by buying from one and selling on the other.
Firstly, go to craigslist and create an account. Once you have created an account, write an advert in the wanted section saying that you are willing to buy any old smartphones that people have lying around. Your description, for example, would be something like this:
"I am buying all smartphones, any condition, any network. Whether they are new, used, broken. Apple, Blackberry, HTC, Samsung etc. I also buy iPods, iPads and any other tablets."
"Text me or ring me for a quote."
"your phone number"
"Your name"
Once you have created an advert, texts and phone calls should be coming in from people asking what their phones are worth. But what are they worth?
Go to eBay and click on advanced search. tick the completed listings box and type in the phone in question. For example, "Apple iPhone 4 Unlocked". Ticking the completed listings box will show you all the phones that have recently been sold that come up under your search terms. This will give you a good idea of the price that a specific phone is worth. From this you will then be able to tell how much you can offer the person for the phone so that you will make a good profit. Make sure to include eBay and PayPal fees in your calculations so you don't wind up making a loss.
You'll find that most people who contact you are looking for a quick sale, so they will be happy even if your quote isn't the best they could get if they looked around. Once you have made arrangements and collected the phone, you can now advertise it for sale on eBay. If you are new to selling on eBay and are not sure how to list your item, the basics are that you will need to write a clear detailed description, take a good clear picture and fill out everything about the phone. I will write an article on how to make a killer eBay listing soon. Make sure to include all the details of what condition it is in etc. Repeat this process to make good amounts of money on a regular basis.
The best part about this method is that you can make it easier than it already is. If you already own a smartphone you can download the free craigslist app and the free eBay app. You will then be able to create the advert, send people quotes, take the listing pictures and advertise the phone on eBay, all from your phone.
