Is this a good idea?
He wants me to buy two iPhones for him because he's not 18 yet he's 17. It's for some people he know, he sell iPhones to people. Should I do this?
A good idea for WHO? Why would anyone do that? What's wrong with your English, and why are you posting anonymously?
I would ask for the money upfront so I don't get scammed.
Nope
He sounds like a drug dealer stay away
No.
Bad idea.
Don't do it.
You need to improve your judgement so you won't need to ask about stuff like this in the future.
If "he" has the money then "he" can buy a phone "SIM Free" for himself even at 17! If you are talking contract phones then you are going to be stuck with LEGALLY BINDING contracts, and "he" makes money from whoever he sells the phones to and from you - while you end up massively out of pocket. Worse still if these are then used as untraceable you could end up being charged as an accessory to crime(s).
Very very bad idea. Don't do it.
Shortly after an iPhone release you can make money this way. However as the current phones were released a few months ago I doubt it would be profitable unless there are still shortages.
- What do you do with a good iPhone app idea but no money? I thought of a brilliant iPhone app idea. This idea is potentially worth millions (Of course it would be a big project to get started). The problem is that I have no money to hire programmers, and I definitely can't make it by myself. Any advice?
- Used iphone on ebay, good or bad idea? Thinking of buying a unlocked iphone on ebay. Is this a good idea? Will I have probs with activation? Can I use straight talk with it?
- Is trading a PSP 1000 for an iphone 3g a good idea? I'm trading someone my PSP 1000 that no longer reads memory sticks for his old iphone 3g 8GB. I'm looking for something to use as an apple-style mp3 player. Would it be a good trade? With the PSP I'm giving him a carrying case, charger, and a few games because he bought me lunch. With the iPhone, he's giving me a hard case, a charger, and a pair of skullcandy lowriders. Would you consider this wise or should i give less?
- Is this a good idea for a cheap way to get the iPhone 5? I just thought of this idea. I currently have an iPhone 4 and I want an iPhone 5. There are no upgrades until May and I can't take that one. Is a good idea to add a new line for 10 dollars, Cancel my other line for 175$, add data for 35$ and then buying the iPhone for 200$. That will equal a little over 400$ and then selling my phone for 150$.So all I really have to pay is around 250$. Do you think this will work or will it mess up my family's account plan. Any suggestions?
