A week on Craigslist (CRAZY XBOX 360 Bundle for $100)

[Liquid]

This is not typical, but just showing what can be done when you are good with fixing things or when people are desperately trying to get rid of something. I don't even live in a good craigslist area...I would make a killing back home in NY or San Fran/L.A. Those needing extra side money need to look into this. I will admit I am in a good position being that I don't hold a traditional 9-5 through the week and have several parts laying around to be able to fix things quickly.

Steals of the week:
Post for an "iMac G5" turned out to be an intel iMac with overheating issues - $50 - fixed and sold for $350

Like New condition "Broken" Mid 2012 MacBook Pro for parts (Liquid Spill) - $100, cleaned and sold for $750

Unlocked iPhone 5S cracked screen - $125 + $50 for new screen, sold for $375

White 2010 MacBook in like new condition - $200, Sold for $400

Total Gained - $1,350 for about 10 hours of "work"

1.7-1.10 - The $60 iPhone 6

A little challenge I came up with, I was able to do this fairly quickly with minimal effort.

Bought Lumia 635 in mint condition and original box + Case + 64GB microsd card - $50
Traded Lumia 635 bundle for a PS Vita bundle (PS Vita with like 5-6 games)
Traded the PS Vita Bundle for a 32GB LG G2
Traded the LG G2 for a 2014 Moto X in original packaging
Unlocked the Moto X and traded it for a Galaxy S5 - $10
Traded the Galaxy S5 for the iPhone 6

Just sold the iPhone 6 for $600 about an hour ago, still haven't even taken the Craigslist posting down. Took 3 days.

Next month I'll try to get a Ferrari with $20

It can be, I can probably make a couple hundred a week easily doing this.

I might start taking it a bit more seriously if people are this desperate for cash and flip. You can grab an xbox one cheap when you have people this desperate.

No I got it, I just didn't want to jump into that old joke anymore

I be thinking of doing this but right now I don't have enough cash to even buy broken things to flip em. I gotta get some money to start up this little hustle. Cats around my way be hating and flagging my posts for removal.

Start by selling your PS4 for at least $300 and follow the steps above. $300 could have been flipped for over $1,000 in this case.

Self taught. I opened up my first pc when I was like 9 because I got mad that I could not connect to AOL.

SO in your opinion how would u suggest I start trying to teach myself this

Like would u see it as a good move to trying to take my old ass Desktop Computer and upgrading it with better parts or any other ways u suggest I practice?

soooo... you could say that Craigslist has been good to a n****

Knowing how the inside of a desktop helps, but to really make money is knowing how to fix broken products. Do you know how to Solder? Probably not

Invest a couple hundred in old ass devices that need to be fixed.

Old consoles are good to work on, you won't see much in return, but the knowledge gained would be valuable. Buy those first gen android phones that have cracked screens/missing buttons and things like that...again, not much in return but the knowledge > all. Then go to older laptops/old PowerPC iMacs. Tablets are a bytch to work on sometimes, get something like a first gen iPad and start working.

Apple products that appear to be in good cosmetic condition that can run the latest software fetch a premium.

Be careful not to kill yourself, but it's not that serious if you take the necessary steps. Those G3 iMacs could get you in trouble if you didn't know what you were doing.

Yeah that's a good idea. I have a Vita that's laying around. I think I'll start low first.
