That seems a bit odd, though. While there were undoubtedly some good deals on electronics, the ones I saw were all on sale—which, according to their return policy, apparently also means “all sales final.” Given that a number of those items were high-risk, the price tags were concerning.
For example, they seem to be selling modern, high-end iPhones in the $6XX range. That’s a bit cheaper than buying a stolen iPhone on Let Go, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace where I live.
That’s incredibly high risk. At any point, the former owner of the phone may report it lost to their carrier, and the IMEI will be blacklisted. From that point forward, the phone is effectively a brick. It may be useful for parts, but that’s it.
Does the former owner have the right to report it missing, especially if they’ve been compensated? It doesn’t really matter—the point is that they can, and they may even do so inadvertently when they go to buy a new one.
This sounds like a store I’d love to visit in person—so many obscure items that are probably too difficult to price correctly. You’re bound to find a gem eventually. Even if it isn’t worth the time you spend, it’s probably a lot of fun!
But I don’t really think that business model lends itself to eBay. Yes, you can have much wider reach and sell to more people, but your margins are going to be lower. Is it worth it? Maybe if you’re running out of space, but the prices they’re charging for some of the items on their website would have to be significantly reduced if they were to sell those items on eBay.
