How the Phone Flip Deal Analyzer works
Enter the phone model, storage, carrier, and condition, then the price you'd pay and any repair, travel, shipping, or miscellaneous costs. The analyzer looks up an expected buyer payout, calculates your investment, profit, ROI, and safety margin, then applies a deterministic set of rules — no AI, no guessing — to tell you whether the deal is an Excellent Buy, Good Buy, worth negotiating, or one to avoid.
What is a good deal when flipping phones?
A good phone flip clears three bars at once: solid dollar profit, a healthy return relative to what you spent, and enough safety margin that a softer-than-expected resale price still leaves you profitable. A deal that's outstanding on one of those but weak on another is still a risk — this tool requires all three to clear the bar before calling something a Good Buy or better.
Why the maximum purchase price matters
Instead of just telling you a deal is too thin, the analyzer works backward from the buyer payout to show the highest price you could pay and still land a Good Buy. That's the number to lead with when you counter-offer a seller.
