They put out some cleverly typed info as if they had just invented the wheel. Or told us a secret that only they know about.<br /><br />I am referring to the post on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Gizmodo</span> by Christopher <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mascare</span> titled How I sold my iPhone within 24hrs for more than what I paid. I mean Chris you must be a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">genius</span> or just oblivious.<br /><br />Chris goes on about selling his iPhone since the 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">nd</span> Gen iPhone is soon to be released and came up with a formula to sell his phone on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Ebay</span> of all places. He did some hardcore research on how many postings exists and how 7 day postings didn't net him good results...duh! Anyone who has ever sold anything on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Fleabay</span> knows the longer your auction is the less you make. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">C'mon</span> man I thought you would know this, since you write for such a big blog. If you care to read more on this retarded blog you can read it here <a href="http://gizmodo.com/394668/how-i-sold-my-iphone-in-24-hours-for-more-than-i-paid">http://gizmodo.com/394668/how-i-sold-my-iphone-in-24-hours-for-more-than-i-paid</a><br /><br />Well now let help Chris catch up to the rest of the world. I sold my iPhone(s) within 2 hrs of posting it each time on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Craigslist</span> for more than I paid for them. The first 8GB iPhone, I paid $250 for the phone when it was released was sold after 7 months of good use and a scratch on the back for $380! Bought few more and sold those for well over $150 in profit. And these weren't even <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">PWND</span>, just simply unlocked to be used with any carrier.<br /><br />And wait it gets better, I didn't have to deal with any graphical listing or <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">time frame</span>. Didn't have to worry about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">scammers</span> bidding on my item when it clearly states will not accept bids from zero feedback or Nigeria. Don't have to but I did post a picture of the item once. Didn't have to ship it anywhere in the world not knowing if it will ever get there and if it does will I become a victim of fraud? Couple of my buyers were visiting from out of country and were happy to meet me at a local establishment and paid in cash upfront!<br />And best of all didn't have to pay any stupid listing, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">ebay</span> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">paypal</span> fees!<br /><br />So this is how I sold my iPhone in 2 hours for lot more then Christopher did!!!!Mind Detergenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04916677746451226025noreply@blogger.com1
