Selling mobile phones is still a lucrative business here. Some stores sell high end premium phones such as Apple, Samsung, Sony. There are also stores which sell very cheap mobile phones mainly from China. They are making good money too.

Selling mobile phones is a good business provided you'll have. million capital. You have to display your products in a decent place like in malls or in s place where people flock.

It would be possible to sell mobile phones as long as I could find a supplier who sells me at a competitive price. Then I don't know whether it is better to dedicate myself to selling phones with an Android operating system, or iPhones which are even more expensive, but of high quality.

Here in Italy we have too much competition from department stores and megastores. For this reason it is difficult for us to be able to take on our own clientele

In my country the business of selling cellphones and accessories is mushrooming, there are lots of cellphone counters on the side of the road, so in my opinion, to run this business, in addition to requiring quite a large amount of capital, you also need to diligently follow the trend of cellphones and accessories, because the development is very rapid.

In our current day and age who doesn't own a phone? I believe this is a good business, people from time to time tend to change their phones or buy new one so it's a good business but with lots of competition.

Selling of mobile phones is a sure business in my country provided you can get it at a reasonable price so you can resell it at the general price that the populace can afford.

Phone selling is a very good business especially if the phones sold are of the latest bards of phones. People are always watching TV ads to know the latest models of the phone they like to own. However, the seller needs a big capital or applies for franchising to be able to operate a business of his own.

Phone selling ts a good business, people will always change and buy new phones or buy new one for others so it's a good business that a lots of money can be made off it
My beloved friend. I agree, but obviously if I were to sell my used cell phone, I would get a lower sum than what it cost me when I bought it new. This is the only thing I don't understand yet. Can you kinldly explain this better?
Thank you❤️

You will surely get a lower price to the price you bought it and this does not apply to phones alone, and this is because you have used part of the lifespan the phone is supposed to spend working and also have some physical defects like scratch on the screen and so on, this price gets lower as the time you bought it increases.

Does selling your used phone make you a phone seller or operating a phone sales business? We are talking about someone that buys phones and resells them at a higher price.

@Alberello75 because you have used the phone and it might be seen as a second hand. Even if you just used the phone for 3 months it has become a fairly used phone
In fact that was what I could not understand. Thank you for your clarification 😘💋. But is there then a method to find low-cost cell phones and resell them for profit? Even if it were a few Euros, it would be fine for me anyway.

I remember a few years ago many youngsters used to open a shop to sell mobile phones, recharge coupons, mobile phone chargers and other phone accessories and at that time it was very profitable but nowadays I don't see people doing that, maybe online selling has reduced their business. What's the situation in your place.
even now phone business is highly profitable

Yes you can, you can check some Facebook pages that sell fairly used items @Alberello75 then you. buy them , you can even refurbished them and sell at a more higher price
I see, however in such case I should have the ability to find an object at a low price, perhaps sold due to not use of the old owner and be able to resell it at a slightly lower price than what would be sold in any shop.

Sure it is good idea for some but it's not easy since it requires a lot of work there are giants who sell phones and most people go there when they want to buy a mobile phone

Indeed, these are the factors that negatively influence what we can do as small sellers, since there are in European states and certainly also elsewhere, these large multinational chains that find products at low prices and resell them to a large public of buyers.
