A few days ago, I decided to try to sell my iPhone cases (currently listed at DeckMyPhone) on eBay. After all, the new iPhone is supposed to be coming out in a few weeks and before we know it, the iPhone 4/4S model will become obsolete. Granted, there should be a nice secondary market of people purchasing iPhone 4/4S’s once the price of those drop in light of the newer model coming out. Still, I’d like to be able to move my product as much as possible so I can then focus on getting some iPhone 5 cases to sell.
To my delight, I got a bid on the very first day AND have since sold three at the “Buy It Now” price! Who knew that people were so eager to get a case that they’d pay over twice as much to get it ASAP. I happily obliged and sent out their covers the day they were ordered. I was even more pleased when I discovered how easy it is to ship with eBay, printing labels at home for packages that I can arrange for pickup if I want. It’s like the entire Stamps.com service, but integrated so I don’t need to pay for the membership.
So far it’s been a great experience selling on eBay and I think I might start listing other random items that I have for sale. Who knows what people might want to buy. 🙂 As for the iPhone 4 cases, I hope that this streak continues! You can check out my listings in my personal account and my business account. Feel free to start bidding! 😛
