How to Add $5-10K/mo in PROFIT to your Repair Shop
How to Add $5K–$10K/Month in Profit to Your Repair Shop Without Fixing a Single Extra Device - GRE Talk
Most repair shops are sitting on a goldmine, and they don’t even realize it.
I’m Chris Schroeder, founder of ResellDeck and Resellerator, and I’ve helped hundreds of resellers, shop owners, and side hustlers turn simple electronics flipping into scalable income. Whether you run a full repair shop or you’re just hustling on the side, this guide will show you how to unlock buyback profit—without fixing a single extra device.
The Brutal Truth Most Shops Miss
When I first started out flipping electronics, I was dead broke. My first deal? A locked iCloud iPhone that left me with $0.17 in the bank. But a single $30 Android flip (the equivalent of 3 restaurant tables I was waiting) lit the fire. Six months later, I was at $5K/month profit—no storefront, no audience, just systems and hustle.
Then I started calling local shops.
80% didn’t answer.
Of the ones who did? Most said:
“We don’t buy phones.”
“We only buy iPhones.”
Big mistake.
I picked up a Samsung deal a local shop wouldn’t touch and made $250 in clean profit.
This happens every single day. Most repair shops are leaving $3,000+ a month on the table in missed buybacks, slow inventory flips, or just saying “no” to anything they don’t understand.
The Buyback Opportunity You’re Missing
Let’s break it down:
Most shops rely solely on foot traffic.
They don’t run ads. They don’t follow up.
They say “Just bring it in” instead of giving an offer.
That’s a dead deal.
What if you had a system that attracted, appraised, negotiated, bought, and flipped—at scale?
This is what we help repair shops (and resellers) install every day.
The Buyback Flywheel: Your 3-Step Profit Machine
🔹 Step 1: Generate Demand
Leads won’t walk in out of nowhere. You need to stack visibility:
Facebook Ads – Interruptive, but fast traction
Google Ads – High intent, underused by shops
Facebook Marketplace Reachouts – Not beneath you. It works.
Google My Business (Buyback-Focused) – This is free traffic on autopilot
Most shops don’t even have a GMB listing for buybacks. Create one separate from repairs—it ranks 10x faster.
🔹 Step 2: Appraise & Negotiate Fast
You don’t have a lead problem. You have a closing problem.
If your response is “Just come in,” you’ve already lost the deal.
Instead:
Use a price sheet for fast, confident offers
Always give a number—even if it’s a range
Follow a simple negotiation script
Anchor low, ask smart questions, and close the deal fast
If you don’t make an offer, you don’t have a deal.
🔹 Step 3: Sell Fast & Reinvest
Most shops sit on inventory. That’s dead cash.
You need to flip fast:
Use eBay, Swappa, or our direct buyback network
Stop trying to squeeze every last dollar from every item
Use our price cycling strategy to cut time-to-cash in half
Speed = scale. The faster you flip, the more you can buy. That’s how the game is won.
