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

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.

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.

Should've just hired homeless people. They're already downtown to begin with and they would've done it for a hamburger.

u better provide them with this


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

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