Door to door.

‍

Back in college I made cash BUYING things door to door, and this model works even better today.

‍

I promise you've never heard of this:

My first "real" biz was a chain of iPhone repair shops back in 2010. I opened a handful of them across Alabama & then sold to a big competitor.

‍

Our #2 revenue source was buying back & reselling phones on eBay. Very profitable & easy.

We didn't want to reinvent the wheel on valuation, so we'd use Gazelle . com to price out the devices, cut the customer a check, and list it on eBay for twice as much.

‍

You can also filter by sold devices on eBay to get a feel for price.

Our only issue was supply. We couldn't buy enough of these phones, so we got creative.

When biz was slow I sent employees door to door to buy used electronics.

phones

tablets

laptops

gaming systems

‍

Anything electronic that fit in a backpack.

I went at first to learn & train.

We'd bring an iPad and price the device on Gazelle on their doorstep & then Paypal them cash.

Many people had 3-6 devices lying around! It was common to make $200-500 profit from one house!

Everything funneled to eBay.

‍

Of course the more affluent neighborhoods were better.

We'd name drop neighbors that sold to us to make future buys easier.

If the Johnsons trusted this weird boy to buy their devices, why shouldn't I?

We'd wear khaki shorts & polo shirts with embroidered logos.

‍

People were relieved we were there to GIVE them cash & not take it!

‍

I eventually bought the domain name DoorToMore . com to scale this with buying anything around the house.

I never launched it & someone randomly paid me $750 for the domain.

Americans have too much stuff. There's a huge opportunity to do this in any market with any items.

I have 10-15 devices at home I'd sell someone if they showed up & made it easy for me.

Someone go try this and tell me how it goes & I'll add your story to this thread.

It wouldn't be easy to scale, but who cares? It could be done. 

‍

Or just do it to make $1k.

I'm clinically addicted to entrepreneurship. Hope you enjoyed this one!
