Part II - UDP For Life

[AutoLode]

Kind of hard to believe this option is still on Apple's website! Is this a backdoor deal with Verizon/Apple? We'll never know the answer to that question.

Yah even the placement of the udp selection all the way at the end where most people would never look. It's like hey if you don't want the 100gb plan for big bucks how about this ?

----------

What prices has everyone been getting for the bare bones iPhone 6? At this point I have the lowest price on Swappa and they're still sitting. Looks like the rush is over and going to have to go below retail.

I saw a 6 plus 16gb NIB on Phoenix CL for $550 today which seemed like a deal

So, I know you asked on HowardForums, but I'm not up to anything today. I actually have a group of 4 other people going with me to get phones tomorrow. We are stopping by 3 apple stores. We are just getting 5s phones. \

I am giving each of them $100 per phone I get. You can imagine what my profits are per phone. They all have Verizon accounts that are eligible to create new unlimited data lines. Muhahaha!

I've been hitting this hard, except for today. Taking a day to hang out with my daughter all day. Life is good

So they don't know how you are able to do it so they split the profits with you or they just don't want to front the money and the hassle of selling, etc? Do you AOL their new lines?

 

[markyr17]

I handle all of the accounts and everything. I pay the bills. They didn't have Verizon accounts until I gave them this opportunity. They don't know how to do the AOLs and frankly don't want to get involved with the responsibilities of having to talk to people. So I do most all of the work. They ride down with me (I live 2.5 hours away from the Apple stores) I deal with getting rid of the lines, and the phones, and they just get their $100 per phone.

 

[jdougal]

Have you tried craigslist out of curiosity? I live in a VERY VERY rural area, so this is not an option to me. I actually have to drive 2.5 hours to get to the nearest Apple Store.

OMG I hate Craigslist. I think I've had one successful sale from it. I've also had about 20 people contact me. 5 of them were offering me like $200 for the phone. The other 15 were Nigerian scams with the same crappy lines. It amazed me the number of scammers that are out there. They must be rather successful to have that many of them sitting around. I even got one of them to "send" me $10,000 for the iPhone 7, how sweet!

In summary. I'd rather give them away then deal with the scum that respond to Craigslist ads.

----------

Yes... Depending on where you ship to.

Where are you shipping to? International? What precautions do you use when shipping international? Seems very risky.

Wow what a setup!

How many phones are you buying per line per store.

And here I am happy getting my fiance and I one phone per day lol! Still for some strange reason my local Apple store has zero 5s. Every single store around us have them in stock, yet nothing for my store.

I ship anywhere, yes. Full insurance, through FedEx international priority. I haven't had a problem, yet...

The plan is to get one line per store, except one store they will get 2

I was doing 5 lines per store in the past though!!

CL does involve filtering the goofballs but the price is right! I just delete all emails until I hear from someone who sounds legit and confirms they're a cash buyer. Pretty much every person I meet becomes a sale but I screen the heck out of them

 

[jdougal]

Anyone have issues with iStocknow being out of date today? It has been showing 6s to be in stock at my local store throughout the day. I've tried to order several times and nothing.

On a good note however I did get my first 6+ very early this morning.

How much is the shipping/eBay fees running you? How much more profit are you making shipping international? Do you sell on eBay.com or is there a different version you use?

You are the man, I envy your setup.

I think I may try again and just create another email just for the responses. I was just so annoyed with the emails and texts of scammers I got a bad taste.

Is your "100% in store" plan for add a line UDP's ?

Does the A store have some sort of kiosk where you select plan options in store or does an employee select the UDP for you?

 

[medlee]

Was anyone else able to have an authorized account user pick up the phone in store for a new line?

I sell on eBay.com and the buyer pays shipping. I ship with FedEx and it costs usually 100.00 or so. I got 960.00 on eBay for an iPhone 6 128 gb. Buyer paid shipping. Works for me!!

Don't envy me. Copy me! Haha

----------

When you go into the Apple Store, and tell them you want to buy a phone, everything is completed on the employees easy pay. You go through all of the same stuff you would when adding a line on apple.com

----------

Somehow cnotes did...

But you're not supposed to be able to, and I, for sure, have not been able to do so.

 

[JulesJam]

Somehow cnotes did...

He didn't really. He said it was a small store and they know his family so they let it slide and let his daughter pick-up the phones ordered on his account and they type in that he is picking it up. I am sure his daughter has his DL with her and hers too.

For his wife, the phones are ordered off of his wife's account so she picks them up.

Do you get hit with higher paypal fees due to the international currency? Is there such a thing as a paypal confirmed address when you ship internationally? Do you qualify for paypal seller protection when you ship internationally?

wow so all the A store employees are well aware of the UDP option ?

 

[jdougal]

Ugh mega restock at my local store and I have my limit of lines on my account. I'd give away one free but I don't want to get banned here . Buyers from eBay are taking to long to turn over. So irritated right now.

They have iPhone 6+ in two colors and larger storage. Also 6s in larger storage, both is a first for my store!

Does anyone know what happens if you order a phone, placing you over the max. However when you finally do the store pickup you are under the max? Would that cause any issues that anyone knows of?

 

[KelVarnsen]

I posted this in the other thread before it got shut down.

I added a UDP line on Apple.com and had a Iphone 6 shipped to me and it arrives today. Unfortunately its original estimated delivery date was October 30-November 4. I avoided the Bestbuy method because it seemed like they could change you to a TDP anytime they wanted. Whereas with adding a line with UDP was a clear option through this method.

If my Iphone 6 doesn't activate properly due to the estimated delivery date being so far away, can I put my Iphone 5 sim on my main line into the Iphone 6 and then just activate the new UDP line with my Iphone 5 when it gets closer to the activation date?

Also if it doesn't activate properly, I don't want to be stuck with a new TDP line, can I return a used Iphone 6?

PayPal fees are the same. Yes and yes

Well aware? No. But you just pick that option when selecting the data plan.

You won't get stuck with a tiered data plan. When the line finally does activate, it will only be what was on the original order, which obviously was unlimited data. Unless you involve somebody at Verizon... Don't do that!!

You may not even have a problem activating. Hope you don't!!

 

[KelVarnsen]

Thanks Mark, hopefully you're right and it activates.

I'm not gonna call Verizon if it doesn't activate, read enough about those nightmares.

Ultimately I just want the Iphone 6 on my main number and I'm going to try and find someone to give away the new line to.

Was just wondering if I could put my old sim in the Iphone 6 if it doesn't activate with the new sim.

 

[jdougal]

Oh no!
Apple store updating, is it over!?!?

 

[markyr17]

Oh no!

Apple store updating, is it over!?!?

Really doubt it. Think it's updating for new products that were released yesterday. Additionally, this whole glitch is on Verizon's servers that integrate with apples, so it's doubtful that it's over

Oh yea, I forgot it was Verizon server side. I figured it was just an iPad update but I always worry lol.

 

[ROLLTIDE1]

It's also not the end of the quarter so it's not going to end

Can't you find something else to scalp ? Thanks ! Good to see everybody but what happened to the old thread ?

 

[didiee]

I posted my iphone plus on CL. no biters, i'm actually very surprised.
No goofballs for crazy scams.

I have not had any successful international sales.
Any country that I would ship to, probably are getting their shares of iphone already. but i know money is better..

Phones are easy to get rid of....
