Galaxias' eBook Review for "Ultimate Ebay Phone Flipping Guide", copy provided by DeafDog

Before I begin my review, I would like to thank you for giving us ("Appraisers"), the opportunity to review your eBook.

Product Thread: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5803122

I would like to apologize for taking a few days on working to review this guide. This one took me especially the longest due to the fact that there were over 20 pages of highly detailed information on how to utilize eBay's online shopping service in order to flip phones for a greater percentage of money which, my dear, is very eye catching and an interesting field of business. As mentioned in your sales thread you had already provided the information that I was expected to see, which at the time were the following:

• The entire process of the method.
  
• Advertising tips(with examples).
  
• Seller communication tips.
  
• Meetup tips.
  
• What to look for while purchasing a device locally.
  
• Listing tips(with examples).
  
• Buyer communication tips.
  
• How to not get scammed.
  
• Why you should learn to repair screens.
  
• Shipping tips.
  
• How to deal with refunds.
  
• How to do "small business" taxes.
  
• and the list goes on...
  

When I started out reading your guide, I enjoyed how well your guide was written in a way that's both readable and understandable. You start off by presenting the reader about your personal experience in performing this guide and letting readers know and be aware of the potential this has for them, if they are able to put their mind to it, as the guide can be overwhelming at first. This indeed does require a lot of effort and mental strength in order to get used to flipping phones, as it's not going to be easy when you have little to no experience in buying and selling items for a little bit of a markup price. You then go on about the requirements about how to successfully perform the guide, which is a fairly simple thing to understand. I won't go into details about it as it would pretty much render the purpose of having selling this guide, but the requirements are things I'm sure most users have.

You have a lot of sub-sections that you go into great detail about explaining. Firstly the different types of ways to advertise your phones (or so, the listing of your phones) which can be very successful to helping you increase sales if you are able to do it creatively and well. You dedicate about three pages or so for advertising while also providing examples, of which again, you also provide resources (such as listing examples) along with the purchase of your guide. You then go on to talk about how to protect yourself from scams when trying to purchase phones, which is all done within an agreement that you also provide. I'm uncertain about this because it doesn't look as legit or how it can be utilized legally if you were to be scammed by the seller. Secondly you dedicate about the same amount of pages for communicating with sellers who are selling you their phone, in which you are planning to flip. The information in here are relatively basic but they are something you need to keep in mind because you want to make sure you are buying something that can be resold but at a greater price. You also go into a lot of information about negotiating prices (in short, hustling) for their phone to ensure that they can get a persuasive deal but also that you're able to flip and make a small profit off it. You then go into great detail about the meeting. This is probably the scariest part of all, is when you meetup to buy a phone from a total complete stranger, and you provide good pieces of advice on where to meetup to ensure that you are safe, while lowering the risk of danger in trading.

Then there is the listing, which of course some people will need a lot of help on. However, what's nice is that you provide a few good examples together when purchasing the guide so buyers should have no problem coming up with something appealing to get buyers on eBay. There's not much to say on the listing as it's fairly basic and understandable once you read it. The buyer communication is also pretty simplistic, which is just communicating well with the buyer one's selling to on eBay. This will keep them informed and ensure that both sides of the deals end well. The information you provide on shipping, very basic but there's a great deal of information that can be useful regardless. You also provide suggestive information on refunds (when a buyer wants to get a refund from buying your product), which in short, a lot of people don't want to deal with.

You also provide suggestions for the seller to keep in mind, which is learning a skill that can greatly help one make a good deal of money, which is repairing broken screens on phones. I like this suggestion because it's a great skill to have REGARDLESS if you were performing this guide or not, because one day you'll have to repair one yourself anyways so why not? Then you go onto basic information about taxes on your profits you've made and other things that are complex but you don't mention very much on it. You probably should add some more detail on this because not a lot of people are very familiar in this field of the business world.

FINAL THOUGHTS

As for my final thoughts on this method. Here are some suggestions that I have for you in regards to your guide as well as things for buyers to keep in mind before buying this guide. Although your method is sold for $5, which I believe is ideally the best price you could possibly get for this guide, you should provide a bit more information like I suggested earlier for taxes. Not many users on this forum are probably of the age of which they understand about the tax system, and many people also have different ways of being taxed in their own specific country (HF is pretty diverse). I also suggest on providing more information on repairing phones as it'll greatly help the individuals who buy your guide to know where to look for the items they need to get started on repairing the devices they may end up buying that they know are broken (e.g. a new screen for a broken screen, etc). Even though there is Google, I'd still suggest adding some places in your guide. Another thing is the legal documentation that you said can be used legally against them if they were to break the agreement, I find this hard to believe that it can work. It can be easily faked so you might want to go into details as to how this document you provide us is something that can be used legally in court if an individual was scammed. Otherwise, an overall great method.

For the potential buyers who may want to purchase this guide, please keep in mind that this requires A LOT of work. If you are unable to put in the work, you'll have a difficult time succeeding in this type of business. This isn't some easy get rich quick method, this requires time and effort. Also, you'll need to understand that you'll have to be meeting with people, if you are uncomfortable with that, this may not be for you. Also to add onto that, you'll need to know that you have to be mobile, so if you can't this may not be for you either. But if you love reselling items for a better price and hustling, well this may be for you! But that is all I have to say.

Again, thanks for allowing Appraisers to review your product and I hope you are very satisfied with my review.
