Willing to stand in line for full cost of one (1) 16gb black iphone 4S.
Surcharge of $10/hr will occur if I need to endure weather conditions (rain, snow, wind, chilly-ness)
Have experience in lining up at futureshop for boxing day sales, best buy grand opening sales.
Want a Mcdonalds/Timhortons/whatever you guys are having breakfast upon completion of assignment.
PM is key.

Lol you're stupid if people are going to do this. Why wouldn't people just stand in line and just flip the phone for the profits ? Because your profits are obviously suppose to cover the cost of them standing there, plus a little bit on top of for YOU. Why would they do that lol. And if you were just a little bit smarter, you would've just pre-ordered like the rest of the us ...

Lol because profit margins are not big unless you send them over to asia?
With that you have to include shipping of the phone at $80/phone
unless you get enough to flip to cover a plane ticket cost to Taiwan then it's not worth it.
This is an easy job and easy money for younger crowd..
Also people asking for a 4S in return, no one will pay $700 for lining up for 12 hours or so.
I have already found many people, still looking for more.
PM for details.

Tbh, for all the people looking for a job our saying they have no money, getting paid to wait in line lets say at $15 an hour is not bags at ask for a pour student who can just bring their phones and play games.

Whats your price?
It has to be worth it for me. Id rather get it cleared up before going to line up. If you are not making atleast 250 , why bother doing it? $100-150 to stay in line for 8+ hrs is 10-15/hr. Can make more than that at work ...

10-11-2011, 04:40 PM
what would be the range in profit OP would make from the phone?
and how many phones can one person get?
i think it's fair to ask for 50% of the profit OP would make from each person waiting in line.

$8.33 / hour
To sleep with OP overnight, outside Apple store.
- Well below even the lowest minimum wage in Canada.
- No employee benefits (coffee, breakfast, wifi, sleeping bag)
- Poor working conditions. 4°C expected for Thursday night.
What a bargain! :fuckthatshit:
I should ban OP for trying to solicit services that will ultimately go towards profitting.
Who else thinks this is a violation of uses for RS?

I don't see anything wrong with it considering the effort is minimal and people get to choose to do it or not.
Many people on revscene has contacted me and will be lining up with me at the Metro Town Apple store.
Also breakfast (Mc Dicks, and Timmy starbucks will be provided all night)
It's really just friends bringing friends to chill and make some easy money.
1 guy on revscene... i am not sure if I should post his name or not is bringing 9 friends... and they are planning to have a poker game there while lining up... easy money :S

At least 25g I'm estimating.
OP's bringing back at least 35-60 units to Taiwan, while yielding at least 100% profit per iPhone4s.

i think 100% is over optimistic but yea major rip off to those standing in the cold for a mere $100

Hyde claims he can get $20,000HKD per unit.
Let's ignore his bullshit, and assume even a number of $15,000. That's still $2027 CAD.
iPhone 4S 64gb with tax comes to $950.
Then you have the $100 going to slavery.
OP can still yield cost to $1k per 64gb unit.
I'm not sure if Metrotown's store will even have that many units...or allow the same guy to purchase again and again (even if he does have the allocation.)
30 Craigslist strangers....say 20 shows up + 3 from RS + friends and family.
That's at least 30 people X 2 device each. 60+ units.
Now I understand where OP get his money to buy his C63 from :suspicious:

10-13-2011, 03:38 AM
your best luck is to ask junkies on the street bro..
i thought about this too but fuck all this hassle to bring it back to taiwan.. damn.. good luck though
threezero
10-13-2011, 03:39 AM
again just my opinion $2027 is a fantasy figure. nobody is going to buy it at that price considering that alot of people consider 4s to not be a significant upgrade
i say 1300$ cad per phone is probably the highest OP can get. I sold an iphone 4 for $1000 locally so i guess $1300 could be possible....
than again i don't drive a c63
and to xilley junkies don't have 800$ and they can't be trusted with more than 2$
xilley
10-13-2011, 04:03 AM
^ thats why he needs his bunch of friends to be there watching and giving them the money to pay and etc
but i dont know.. i just called my cousin in taiwan and hes saying theres no iphone4s yet
so to me 2000 seems reasonable as you said you could already sell locally for 1000
i dont see why it couldnt be doubled especially when its half way across the world and they dont have stock

10-13-2011, 09:05 AM
I asked my friend in Taiwan who does this for a living, he said it'll be $30,000 NT to start for the 16G which is roughly $1,000 CDN and they're getting phones in the day after the initial release. Since the price will be driven by depend, so the price could be higher/lower
Vale46Rossi
10-13-2011, 11:25 AM
First of all it's a E55 not C63 -.-,
anyways I have been quoted $33,000 NT minimum for each phone so thats good, and also have to factor everything else in including how many phones I will end up with.
But anyways I have enough people now so thanks everyone and see who ever is coming out tonight!
Thanks again

If it's just 50-60 units, I would just put it in a carry-on luggage case. iPhone boxes aren't that big.
That way, they will be with him the whole way...and not get thrown with other checked-in luggage.

only got 3 from RS LOL :(
Got 30+ on craigslist
so your telling me you and your 33+ RS/CL possie will form a line, and you will be carrying over $28,000.00?
649.99 x 1.12 tax = $727.98
727.98 x 33 phones = $24,023.63
33 x $100 line up fee? $3,300.00
66 tim hortons? $111.12
CASH? 28,162.73

Wow, please dont do my taxes.
727.98 + 100 = 827.98 COST
if sold for $1000, then 172.02 profit x 33 = $5676 profit and getting them to asia, and selling all at once.
not bad for a few phone calls and a post or two on CL, plus having the bankroll to organize it.

Taiwan wouldnt have as high of a demand as say HK
first batch to these places come from AUSTRALIA, in which making 17-20k HKD for white 64GB isnt impossible
Almost 6hrs after that initial batch, 15k HKD is what u are looking to pocket
I dont know the demands in TW

If I were those 22 people in line... I would just purchase two 16gb for total of $1453.76, and get $1760 from you.
$300 profit is much better than the $100 (or w/e you "uppped their price a bit") you're paying these slaves.
and P.S: Come on OP, take some pics of you and your workforce. The whole RS wants to see :suspicious:
"Oh that was his name?? Yeah there was a group of 30 asian ppl in front of me all talking to this one guy. And he took all their phones"

future shop only sells the phone with a contract, that is why everyone lined up at Apple.
