Is it possible to flip an iPhone you buy at retail?

[FooArk]

If a buy an iPhone full price no contract, is there much room for profit if theres a shortage?

Less eBay fees and Paypal fees, how tight are the spreads?

Have seen profits of $100-$200 in ebay Australia (for 4 / 4S / 5)

To make anything on a 16GB model on eBay, you would have to sell it for $850 just to make $50. 13% fee between ebay and PayPal plus shipping costs.
649 + tax= 685 or so
850 - 13%= 740
740- $10 shipping =$730

Not much profit, so availability would have to be really tight to get prices over $900 and you take a huge gamble if they come back in stock quickly.
