Would this be a legal money making method? - Caliban - Jul 11, 2016

I thought days about this and i think it might work.

I live in an EU country and here a specific laptop costs 1600$. From USA i could get it for around 900$, maybe 1000$ with shipping costs and customs.

If i resell it on ebay for 1200-1300$ and people would buy it, that means 200-300$ raw profit right? Or would i get into trouble doing this lol?

Hope someone can help

I doubt this is illegal lol, go for it

What illegal would this include? Yes, all legit profit. As far you are buying from a trusted seller.

I believe this is totally legit, I've done similar things.

Lots of people do it actually, not illegal in any sense. Only problem would be with the cunts at eBay.

This is legit your buying and reselling

The landed cost will likely come out to be around the same. Also, you can't expect to sell a laptop that's been handled for the full price, further decreasing its value.

No this is not illegal. Good luck if you go through with the idea.

its definitely not the same, i already tested it. Also i have free shipping on some of the things i might resell

Edit: Anyways now that i know its legit i might try it with a couple laptops. If it works out fine i might make a free ebook or some shit to let you guys know how exactly i went about it hah

If this was illegal... every large market like Walmart etc would be illegal lol all they are doing is reselling.

People do this all the time. Totally legal you're just doing a re sale.


* - Amaa - Jul 11, 2016

This is how some people make money, its not illegal.


* - vans1997 - Jul 11, 2016

depends in what country.
Where I live, if you make over 10,000$ you need to pay taxes.
If you don't, well you should know the consequences :P

Best of luck with this technique. I believe it's completely legal
