I had to feature this loyal reader since he got me a great deal on a Macbook Pro through his website ISellMac.com.
1. What made you want to sell Apple stuff online?
I’ve been selling Apple products for 2 years now. Apple continually makes the best computers and coolest gadgets and they are always in high demand. Personally, I’ve been using an Apple computer for 20 years now. My goal is to get others to recognize how much easier and more reliable Apple’s computers and operating system are vs. PC.
2. What’s the craziest order you’ve ever gotten asked to fulfill?
I sold a lot of 100 womens schik razors, voip phone system with 80 phones, a land rover defender, a 6 series BMW, a harley roadster, and ….. Vibrating panties.
3. What’s your background?
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Then I went to Tulane University and graduated with degrees in Finance and Management. After trying to get a job working with a hedge fund, I ended up starting my own eBay business. Now I realize how much happier I am working for myself!
4. Tell us more about your business, is it just you?
It started with myself. I quickly grew my business buying and selling cell phones. At that point I hired two employees. Right now I have three employees to help with all the work that goes into my eBay business.
5. Where do you see Apple’s stock headed now that your founder is on his deathbed?
Apple’s stock is depressing for multiple reasons. Steve Jobs leaving the company is a major blow and I hope for his sake that he returns in June as he stated. Steve has led Apple to become the most successful computer company in the world, but without him it will still grow and prosper. The products currently in the pipeline with continue to allow Apple to grow even in our current recession. The demand for Apple products is increasing fast as consumers become more aware of the quality and service that Apple offers. It is only a matter of time before more business start switching over to Apple as well. And wait till the next generation iPhone comes out! The iPhone is going to drive Apple’s growth over the next few years and get more people switching over to Mac. I see Apple’s stock at 200 in 2010 and hitting 1000 within the next 10 years!
