What to do on BuyLow after a YouTube flip video
A YouTube flip video can show a real purchase that creator made. The number on screen is still that example, not a live sold comp and not a BuyLow price. Search the same model here and read the listings that come back.
Search live resale listings
This is the Resell search: live marketplace listings to shop. The sell quote is a separate tool, and promo codes stay on Promos. Prices below are only what the search returned.
You must be 18 or older. Google continues on the sign-up page. Guest browse opens Resell, not the sell quote.
Specs to copy from the video, not the price
Write down the model, the storage, and the condition the creator actually showed. Ignore the dollar figure. Open the matching model guide and run the live search.
Storage tiers
A video of a 128GB phone is not a comp for the 256GB version. The storage pages exist so those stay separate.
Condition checklist
Match the model, the capacity, and the working condition before you call a listing cheap.
- Do not treat a creator's buy price as today's asking price.
- Do not treat a creator's sell price as a quote. Quote stays blank unless a buyback source has published one.
- Channels, view counts, and on-screen totals are not data BuyLow copies onto these pages.
- If the video skips the storage size or the lock status, it is not a complete comp.
Marketplace fee breakdown
Seller fees for electronics you might flip are not the buyer's price and not a sold average. The ranges below are the same qualitative notes BuyLow publishes on its reselling guides. The marketplace fee page is the source of truth, because rates change.
- eBay: About 13–15% final value fee on most categories plus a small per-order fee; lower for some electronics. Fee page: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/selling-fees?id=4822.
- Mercari: A selling fee of about 10% plus card processing; check the current rate. Fee page: https://www.mercari.com/us/help_center/.
- Facebook Marketplace: Free for local pickup; shipped orders pay a percentage selling fee. Fee page: https://www.facebook.com/help/marketplace.
- OfferUp: Free for local sales; shipped sales pay a percentage service fee with a minimum. Fee page: https://help.offerup.com/.
- Craigslist: Free in most for-sale categories; some categories charge a small posting fee. Fee page: https://www.craigslist.org/about/help/posting_fees.
- Swappa: A small flat-style fee; listings are reviewed and IMEI/serial checked. Fee page: https://swappa.com/fees.
