If you’re considering selling your old Apple device, you may wonder whether it’s better to sell online or in-store. Both options have pros and cons, so it’s essential to weigh your options carefully before making a decision. Here’s a look at some of the key considerations for each option.

Research where to sell it. Online or in-store.

For those looking to sell their Apple device, there are a few essential factors to consider before choosing whether to sell online or in-store. Selling online allows for specialization and can increase the potential pool of customers, but it requires ensuring that shipping costs are understood and kept low. On the other hand, selling items in-store provides instant gratification, and customers may show greater appreciation for an item when they can see it with their own eyes. Both platforms can be highly lucrative if marketed correctly, but sellers should be prepared to put in additional effort when selling any product.

Get an estimate of how much your device is worth.

Have you always wondered how much your used electronic device is worth? Getting an estimate of its value is easier than you might think. Online marketplaces like SellYourMac make it easy to quickly find the estimated value of your device based on its year, model, condition, and other factors. These estimates give you a good idea of the current market price if you sell or trade in the device. Knowing your device’s approximate value can also help if it breaks and needs to be repaired, as repair shops could use the estimation to assess the cost of getting it working again. With most estimates displayed instantly or within minutes, you can finally find out the actual value of your beloved device!

Compare the offers and decide who to sell to – online or in-store!

You must weigh your options when deciding where to sell your products. When you put them up for sale online, you get access to a vast audience worldwide while at minimum cost risk. On the other hand, in-store sales take more legwork but can be more emotionally rewarding and potentially more profitable. To make the most informed decision, look at both sides of the coin; what are each option’s pros and cons? Along with comparing prices, consider how much time and money you’re willing to invest in getting either option up and running – as well as how much marketing effort it will take to secure a steady flow of customers. With thorough research and thoughtful consideration, you can make the best decision for yourself that is both financially beneficial and purposeful in achieving your goals.

If you’re selling online, package your device securely and ship it off according to the buyer’s instructions.

When selling your phone online, it’s important to properly pack your device and make sure it’s shipped off according to the buyer’s instructions. This is a crucial step in ensuring a successful transaction and customer satisfaction. To begin with, make sure whatever you send is securely wrapped in bubble wrap (or some other kind of protective material) and placed inside an appropriate box or bag. You must also skim over the buyer’s shipping instructions one more time before hitting the send button. Double-checking these instructions will ensure your item is sent off to the correct address as quickly and smoothly as possible. Taking the time to wrap and pack your device securely may seem like an extra step, but it will ultimately benefit you and the buyer in the long run.

If you’re selling in-store, bring in your device and any required accessories or documentation and get paid on the spot!

Selling in-store is a great way to get fast cash for your device and accessories. Whether you’re selling a phone, laptop, or gaming console, most stores have the required items on hand, so you don’t need to worry about remembering any extras. Bring in your device with the necessary documents and get paid quickly; no waiting around for money to appear in your account! You can feel secure knowing that the store will take care of any legalities and ensure a smooth sales process. It doesn’t get easier than this!

Now that you know how to sell your old iPhone, it’s time to start. The process is simple and easy to follow, so there’s no excuse not to start researching where to sell your device. Whether you want the convenience of online selling or the instant payment of in-store transactions, make sure you compare offers before making a decision. And finally, once you’ve completed the sale, remember to use that extra money wisely!

I arrived to a packed lecture room at a Library in South Florida. This lecture caught my eye weeks prior and I made sure to have it in my calendar. After all, how many more times will I get a chance to hear a 99 year old survivor tell his remarkable story of inconceivable hell, survival and ultimately impressive success? What I heard in the room that day was hard to fathom it wasn’t part of a Spielberg movie with some creative liberty thrown in to embellish an already unbelievable true story. This was the real deal. A vivid description of hell on earth. What I couldn’t understand is how did this survivor go on to create a vibrant family and a very successful business career and not be bitter every day of his life? Equally remarkable is how someone his age could tell a story from 85 years ago as if it happened yesterday and with energy and charisma of someone half his age. He spoke for 45 minutes without a break. Little did anyone in the audience know that, just prior to arriving at the Library, he fell and injured himself, making his perseverance in even making it to the Library even more heroic. This is no ordinary man. I approached the stage after the lecture, patiently awaited my turn to speak with him and asked if I could interview him for my podcast. I am pretty sure he knew little to nothing of what a podcast was, but he agreed as you are about to learn why telling his story over and over is his divine mission.

Eli Marcus and Sam Ron

Sam Ron bears personal witness to the greatest atrocity in human history. He is one of the only remaining Holocaust Survivors his age who survived four concentration camps…and a Death March. He turns 99 in July. His story is remarkable…and he himself is equally as remarkable.

-How many times was Sam transported in cattle cars and what was that like

-Which concentration camps was Sam in & what were they like

-What was life like in the concentration camps and why did they move Sam around to different camps

-What is a Death March, why and how did that happen and how did Sam survive it
