Fixing iPhone screens for cash?
I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm a 15 year old geek, living in the boonies, in need of some extra cash for spending. I'm considering fixing iPhone screens for around $50 give or take a little. My problem is this: most people aren't going to trust the average 15 year old tearing into their $300 iPhone. I'm the kind of guy that can do it - I'm techy, I've had every computer in the house fully apart for cleaning and back together and they all work better than before. I build robots from Arduino and Lego Mindstorms platforms. So I've thought of having a shop on the internet, such as Ebay or Etsy, but then I'd have to figure in shipping costs and all. The actual repair is fairly straightforward, it's about a 20 minute job, the screen costs $20-$25, and shipping would be roughly $10 round-trip, leaving me with $30 for a 20 minute job. All I'm looking for in this question is ideas for how to get the phones. I.E. Real life, having an internet shop, etc. I'm homeschooled so I have a decent amount of free time, around 4 hours a day including evenings, plus weekends.
Added (1). $20 dollar profit, not $30. Stupid typo. Lol
Added (2). Sorry, I was referring to the 4S model.
IPhones range from $599-899. Not $300
Well… Give it a try? Who wouldnt want their screen fixed for only 50 bucks. I paid 70 for front screen and 20 for back for my 4s
