Buying Cracked Phones to Resell

I used to buy job lots of phones from ebay. Once they arrived check if there was any problems and if they could be cheaply fixed. If they could i would fix them. I would then buy the official box from ebay (A good seller in uk). I would then sell the phone. If any phones where seriously broken i would buy a new glass replacement and new box. I would post a ebay listing stating that i brought the phone in a job lot and all i have done is change the glass and brought a new box.

The problem was that i would start getting complaints saying the glass was to weak or that i didn't say that the phone was broken beyond reasonable repair.

I ended up stopping the business because it was to time consuming and that i felt like i was becoming sketchy. I might try to do this later because i was only 16 and i really couldn't handle the stress of GCSE's (Exams you take when 16) and running a business. There is some good money in the business but i found it hard not to feel like i was scamming people.
