Ask a guy who has made $16,000 profit buying iPhones, putting flappy bird on them, then reselling to Apple's autistic consumers anything.

Also put $5,000 into bitcoin when it was at $410 during the Mt. Gox crash which was 12.5 bitcoins at the moment and made $3,256 profit from that which I personally think the price is going to keep going up so that should grow.

So all together this past month and a half I have made approximately $20,000. Going to start trading bitcoin for smaller crypto and buy low and sell high. Will be a around the clock job though and I am expecting to lose some but make more profit than loss. Also going to build a mining/gaming rig with a couple thousand so I can cash out on the new crypto currencies that come out.

I'm only 18 and half so this is kind of new to me. Going to UNI next year to major in programming so maybe then I'll understand that 20k is childs play. Anyhow the more money I have to play with, the more money I can yield in profit. Started out month and a half ago with $800 so this is kind of a win.

You should continue the Flappy Bird turnover if it hasn't been curtailed yet/if the customers haven't moved on yet. I have no clue how you made that much but keep going.

Bitcoin is a joke and will never be worth shit, it will never skyrocket again like it did that one time.

Its easy as shit. My sister you has a iPhone installed flappy bird on her phone. I took her phone backed up all of her apps. Then buy used iPhone 5 or 5s and sell them for a couple thousand on criagslist and some dumbfuck always goes for it within a matter of hours. Seriously guys get in on this while there is still hype, its easy money.

You haven't made anything until you cash out. Being able to buy a stock or asset and have it at some point be worth a lot more than you bought it for is easy. It's selling it while it is worth more than you bought it for that is impressive.

>> No.183611

Its not a promise but its possible. Even if it doesn't work out just sell the phone at 400 and you will have made 100. Its always a win. Good luck.

Yeah I guess you're right but still I own something as of now that is worth more so you could also look at like have gold when gold is high. Right?

Do you get the iphones you buy to do this on ebay or craigslist or somewhere else?

>> No.183657

>>183633
Wherever. I usually bid on ebay and get them like 50 cheaper then actual price but thats not always the case. 250-300 is the slightly under average price of a working 16gb GSM iPhone 5. CMDA iPhone 5 cost a little less. And the Iphone 5s vary alot. Just got with the regular 5 and if you feel confident about the right pice and you know your paying and selling right move up to the 5s bit remember not everybody has 3000 for a 5s that has flappy bird so your more likely to sell a regular 5 for 1500

I've been tech savvy person every since /I was 13 so I but not working phones/computers off of craigslist and resell them but it doesn't make anywhere as much as this flappy shit. Well a month a half ago I had 800 and made a few quick bucks here and there then did the iphone thing and now hav 16,000 and a little.

flappydicks doesn't sell at inflated prices where I am and it's one of the biggest cities in the country. for every person on craigslist trying to sell at $1000 there are people selling for 300-400 or less
