Cell phones and accessories are the industry with lots of money, demand and competition.
When I am completely new to some industry (like in case with cell phones and accessories) – I try to learn a bit about it. Top players, top merchants, demand check over years, eBay & Amazon top sellers, Google SEPR’s, etc… Even then I do not have a feeling of an expert and will invest min funds to test it.
Have a look at today’s case study – guys claim making $12,000 revenue per month with organic traffic from a website started a few weeks ago. Hardly possible, from my point of view.
But the product is worth my time to look deeper into, to check what verified dropshipppers have to offer, to review our cell phone case studies category for other similar cases – and then to make some initial conclusions…
Well, in fact, this is the goal of this website and our case study category – to help our readers to spot profitable e-commerce niches where there is some space for small online entrepreneurs eager to earn with dropshipping.

Buyer Safety: We will provide a notarized disclosure of earnings upon purchase, as well as a signed non-compete to the winner of this auction.
Site History: I created this site shortly after having developed a business relationship with 2 SIM card suppliers. They offered me a deal that SIMply could not be beat. I created the site, and started pushing these offers to customers.
What You Get: Domain (BlueHost registrar), site files, databases, customer list, contact information and dropshipper accounts with 2 main suppliers, and remaining inventory of 600 SIM cards. We will also provide the buyer with our services in creating new methods to keep the site’s content fresh.
What It Does: A user of SIMCardStash.com will purchase SIM cards in bulk. These cards are typically used with SIM card activations and for resale in cell phone stores across the country.
Server Requirements: A SIMple shared host will be sufficient for this website.
Customer Information: All past customers are held privately, and will be disclosed to the buyer. These customers are buyers, they have come to the site looking to purchase SIM cards. They are all customers, and have purchased at least 100 SIM cards. Most are into their 2nd or 3rd round of buying, at higher volume.
Time To Manage: The site runs 100% automatically, and requires little work. Additionally, if you opt to receive the SIM cards to your location first, you’ll need to ship them out. However, this is a dropshipping business, so you will only need to process your customer’s order and submit the address for shipping.
Revenue: This site has made an average of $7,000, with a high of $12,000. Please see the screenshots for proof of revenue.
Reason For Selling: We are actively pursuing a top level project that requires a 100% commitment of both time and financial resources. As you can see, we have listed 4 other large ticket sites for sale. We will continue to do so until all of the sites requiring management sell.
