Is this a good price?

I have had this contact for a very long time and its very very real. The guy who runs a very succesful ebay account and website provided me with the contact.

But they will be stocking the new Iphone that is being released next week. The 3g 32gb Iphone unlocked. Min orders is 20 units and i will be getting them for about £315/330 delivered per unit.

Good or bad price?

    they are probably 'unlocked' because they aren't actually usable until you start them up on itunes.

    over £6,000 is a lot of money on something you may not shift.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Why isn't there an option for :confused:

    Also, call me cautious if you will but why if this guy has a successful ebay business he doesn't want to sell them himself?

    Anyway, I thought they had dropped in price now the kerfuffle had died down.

    £330 is a lot of money - do you think you'll make enough to make it feasible?

    I'd guess you'd need to sell them for £350+ to get a profit, and tbh I can't imagine they'd sell for that much...

    You'd need to sell at a lot more than £350 to make a profit taking into account ebay and paypal fees. Otherwise you'll be making about £5 profit per unit which hardly seems worth the bother. You'd also need to factor in TSFE buyers wanting to know why they can't do everything on them, and not understanding about them being uncontracted.

    Right lets start off:

    No i am not buying from this 160247874322 person as they are scammers.

    They are releasing new iphones next week to replace the older ones, they are going to have 3g Internet on the phones and have a double the size memory the currently have on the phones to 32gb. So the need for them wont die down i think they will increase with a new model more people want them not enough to go around etc...

    They are unlocked like all the other iphones you can purchase on the market and will work fine with all applications a normal unlocked bought from Apple or Mobile phone store would be able to do.

    I am not buying from the guy who has a 2200+ ebay account and website. He has provided me with the wholesale companies that supply him with the mobile phones, laptops, Tv's, Cameras etc... as we are buddies so that is how i have the contacts.

    Also i have the ability to 24k gold plate the iphones as well which add an extra couple hundred on the price. The 16gb are still selling for £280 to £350 on ebay at the moment.
