This is an auction with option to Buy-It-Now.
It's also listed on SitePoint ** Cell Phone / Sim Card Site - $80/Month Revenue - First Month!

This business was started on March 30, 2009 as a project. I've advertised it lightly on local free classifieds site like craigslist and kijiji. I have only posted about 2-3 ads on craigslist and 1 on Kijiji. I also promote on forums where I have a reputation which has been bringing great results.
Imagine the potential with more advertising efforts.
I'm going to make the description nice and short as the site is self-explanatory.


Expenses: $7-$8 per sim card (less in bulk) + $12-$15 max per activation from reliable source (other sources $3-$9)
Great thing about the product is that you do not need to order in bulk, instead can order on an "as needed" basis. Although it's ideal to have at least some stock for faster shipping.
Actual Product/Service
Sim Cards with Unlimited Calls(Local & Long distance), Text, Internet, Picture messaging, etc..
Revenue: $80 (2 sales)
1 Sale from Craigslist
1 Sale from Forum (had a $37 promotion going for 2 days which is why one payment is for $37)
Profit: 100% ROI every sale.
Means of Promotion:
Craigslist
Kijiji
Forums
Traffic: craigslist, kijiji, search engines, and forums.

FAQ
The most frequently asked question is if this is legal? The answer is Yes. The website uses sources from a public marketplace. The Buying and Selling of Sim Cards is 100% legitimate. The activations are done by authorized T-Mobile dealers. These T-Mobile dealers offer these low rates as a promotional tool to attract new T-Mobile Prospects. The website is more of a "third party" tool than anything.




The asking price is 10 month revenue as I know this site is a gold mine. This business is ideal for those who have experience in online marketing and have time on their hands.
This is my first time listing here on SitePoint, but have great feedback on NP and DNF. PM me for username.
Low Reserve to encourage bidding.


Starting price: $80
Current Bid: $80
Minimum Bid Increment: $10

End Date: 26 Days, 15 Hours (according to SP)

Note: There is also a possibility of automating the whole business with no hands on work at all. The only drawback is that profits will fall slightly. This is something the winning bidder should ask about if interested.

These aren't fraudulently setup. They come from T-Mobile dealers who are licensed to activate these sim cards. Yes, it only lasts a month. What don't you get?

T-Mobile requires dealers to see a valid photo ID of the customer to setup a FlexPay account. These "dealers" are fraudulently activating them with no ID and no customer for the commision, then selling them to you for a few dollars. The accounts then stop working after 30 days and T-Mobile is out the comission with no new customer. How is that not fraudulent?

If you have a better explaination of how the process works, please share it. :rolleyes:

According to you eBay is filled with fraudulent T-Mobile plans. I've personally purchased flexpay plans on eBay and was never asked for a photo ID. Your verified Paypal / eBay ID is sufficient to activate the plan since it's tied to a credit card with your name on it.
 
These "Dealer" codes are obtained using hacked dealer accounts. These is illegal and eventually the method will die. I hope the person that buys the site will see this and sue you for getting him caught.
 
i'm not trying to hijack this thread but i have a similar cell phone site that is ready to go. if anyone needs one just pm me...

First of all, authorized T-Mobile dealers are the ones activating the cards. If they are breaking any rules by activating these cards, they are the ones that will face any penalties.

Second, do not post jibberish on this thread without analyzing the business and providing factual evidence.
