Owner
I founded an internet and retail business of previously owned cellular
phones and accessories. I recognized and fulfilled a need for consumers to
be able to buy and sell pre-owned cell phones at affordable pricing. In
addition the consumer did not have to commit to a long term contract with
a cellular carrier. I became a successful Amazon and Ebay retailer prior
to selling the business in June 2011. This business model was based on the
used car business substituting cell phones for automobiles.
