Catching Up!

So I had a big haul from Craigslist today. I need to start catching up for the inactive last month. So today, I landed a pretty great deal. I saw an ad for a fully functional cracked screen iPhone 4S for $150. The ad included their phone number so I sent him a text and offered $110. He declines and offers me a regular iPhone 4 for $120. Seeing that he had two phones for sale, I made an offer of $240 for both phones. He then sends me a picture of the cracked screen on the iPhone 4S and it looked worst than I imagined. I lowered the offer to 220 and he still accepted. I knew this was a great deal; seeing as an iPhone 4S with a cracked screen goes for around $200 or more on eBay and how I sold my previous iPhone 4 for $200.

I asked him if it comes with the box and headphones. This is when he says no but says he will throw in a broken iPhone 4 that I could use to replaced the screen on the iPhone 4S! I was a bit skeptical as this deal seemed a little too good. In the end, everything worked out. I got 3 phones for $220. The broken iPhone 4 seems to be stuck on recovery mode, but if I can fix that I would be able to sell it for $200, and if not I can probably sell it for $100.

So now I have 4 iPhones that I am selling and once they're all sold I will have made up for last month.

Summary: Paid $220 for: 16GB iPhone 4S with cracked screen, 16GB iPhone 4, and an iPhone 4 that's stuck on recovery mode.

eBay Listing - iPhone 4S

I thought you guys might want to see how I list my auction. The auction cost $0.50 to list because it only has a Buy it Now option. I usually only use Buy it Now's for higher priced items as it requires the buyer to pay immediately. This is my description:

iPhone 4S
Black
16GB
Sprint
Clean ESN
Comes with original headphones and charger.
Also comes with black Otterbox case!
Phone is in great shape! Check out the pictures.
Pictures are of the actual items you'll receive.

The phone is still under Apple warranty until middle of February 2013 confirmed on Apple's website.

I usually ship the next day after payment is received. 

Introduction

Hello, I work a full time job by day and on my spare time I flip things for profit. What is flipping? Basically buying low and selling back for more. For example, you buy a TV at Best Buy during Black Friday for $400 and sell it to someone in the parking lot for $600. You just flipped the TV for a $200 profit. I've been actively flipping for years and it has become a hobby and a second source of income. I can't make a living off of it, but I'm able to buy things I wouldn't normally buy because of it. I decided I will document all my new "flips" in this blog. I know the title says Craigslist, but I'm going to post everything I flip from eBay to special deals in stores. I will also give little tips on flipping a long the way.
