Higher Resale Value

A little secret, I use to switch phones every month and people were
looking at me like I must be loaded to buy all those phones, but the
truth was that I was really making money by changing phones each
month.  How did I do it? I am about to share everything with you as
well as how to get more money from reselling your cell phone. 

First let me spend a minute on buying mobile phones before I go into
selling phones. I would not suggest buying a cell phone brand new, unless
you are purchasing it from a service provider at a hugely subsidized
discounted price. 

There are a lot of people out there who want the newest and greatest
gadget, use it for a month, take amazing care of it and then resell it only
to get the next amazing phone.  I am not one of them but I like to be there
to collect the phone, when they want to sell.  Mobile phones are just like
a car, the first owner incurs a heavy reduction in the value of the phone. 

Now you have a current mobile phone or you have done what I just
explained and it is time to sell your phone.  First unlock your mobile phone
because now your buyers are not just people on your current network, but
people on most GSM networks worldwide.

You have opened up your device's market to everyone who is looking for that model. Lets say i was sitting in Canada and you are a
person selling a phone in the US and it is locked, I am not a potential
customer for you, and I will move on to the next guy, but then I see another
guy with the same phone that is unlocked, I am now a potential customer of
that person.

Next, aim for a market that your phone is not sold in.

  For example let's say
you have an AT&T Cell Phone aim to sell your phonetoTMobile, SunCom, or
Edge Wireless users, since there are less people who can sell to that market,
if any and, since those company don't offer your model, this makes the demand
for your phone higher.

I also encourage selling on other platforms not local

 which I will talk more about
tomorrow.  Tomorrow, I will discuss using phones from other networks and
expand on selling locally.
