3 DMs.
10 minutes.
Meet ups on our schedule.
In a safe place (the address above is a Starbucks).
And $150 profit.
This is one of a dozen screenshots phone flipper, Chris Schroeder, sent me of recent deals he’s closed.
Which was super impressive, but…
All these deals left me with one gnawing question I had to ask.
The question on my mind wasn’t:
“Why do people sell you their phones so cheaply?”
Sometimes people find themselves in situations where they need money fast.
… It wasn’t “Where do you find your deals?”...
I know most come from Marketplace, OfferUp, and CraigsList.
…It wasn’t even “How do you get people to accept less than their asking price?”...
I’ll get to that in a second.
My question?
“How do you know how much to offer?”
Without knowing how much we can offer and still make a good profit?
…Do the other questions even matter?
Turns out…
Chris has a secret weapon.
What he calls ‘Direct Buyers’.
Companies Chris has been building relationships with for years…
…Who’ll buy iPhones in just about any condition - at a pre-set price…
With the Direct Buyer’s price list?
Chris knows exactly how much he’ll get for a phone.
Making it napkin math to see how much to offer the seller.
(Direct Buyer’s Price - Profit we want = Offer to seller)
Simple right?
… I dunno about you?
I like not needing to go “Beautiful Mind” figuring out eBay fees and Best Offers.
(Selling on eBay is still an option - just not the only option.)
If you’d like access to Chris’ list of Direct Buyers?...
… DM negotiation tactics to help you get the best deal on anything you buy…
… And a disarmingly honest outreach script that opens sellers up to taking waaaay less than their asking price?…
Chris made a video walking through how to do everything.
In your corner,
James Foster
PS - We’re just a couple months away from the holiday buying season. Direct buyers are paying close to their highest prices RIGHT NOW so they have inventory for Q4.
