Yeah sorry I typed that wrong, when I said "selling for $500" I should have said "$500 profit".
But like I said, I'd love to see the cost breakdown after you consider the time put in for reservations and paying folks to stand in line & do pickups. How much are they paying the middlemen going into the store? $50 a phone? $20 a phone?
"Hey I'll give you $1,750 cash to go into the Apple store and get two new iPhones, you keep the change for your time"
What's the shipping cost on that? An airline ticket and you take a carryon packed with phones with you?
I'm honestly just curious about the economics of how these guys operate, and handing nearly $2k over to a pop over to a dozen or so people.
