Electronics Flipping Tips
Test Everything
Always test electronics before listing. Check batteries, screens, ports, and all functions. Document any issues.
Check iCloud/Activation Lock
For Apple devices, ALWAYS verify the device is signed out of iCloud. Locked devices are nearly worthless.
Include Original Accessories
Chargers, boxes, and manuals increase value by 10-20%. Original packaging is especially valuable for Apple products.
Know the Model Numbers
Learn to identify models by their numbers (A2894, etc.). This helps you spot underpriced listings and price accurately.
Where to Find Electronics Deals
Facebook Marketplace
Best for local pickup, avoid shipping damage
OfferUp / Craigslist
Good for negotiating below market prices
Estate Sales
Older electronics often priced to sell quickly
Retail Clearance
Open-box returns at Target, Best Buy, Walmart
⚠️ Important: Avoid These Common Mistakes
- • Never buy iPhones/iPads without verifying iCloud is signed out
- • Don't list electronics as "like new" if there's any visible wear
- • Always include the IMEI/serial number status in your listing
- • Avoid carrier-locked phones unless priced significantly below unlocked
