Any thoughts on the best place to get hold of a good condition ipone - a 6s or 7? Best place used to be here!

For a 12 year old so not looking at big money!

Thanks

I've bought 3 from the Music Magpi eBay shop over the past 6 months and both the service and phones have been very good.

Just brought an I Phone 7 32gb from eBay for my son for £175. I narrowed down the search considerably by UK only and adding immaculate and mint to the search, and then look to buy from a private seller as opposed to a shop.

I've come a bit unstuck unlocking the damn thing from Vodaphone though*, so consider which network your son will use it on / ensure you buy an unlocked one.

* previous thread by me / work in progress

My mate (who is sat next to me now) had a crap time with Music Magpie. They refused a warranty return because the USB port was damaged. Thing is, he sent it back because it wouldn't get a signal anywhere and even sent them a video of the phone charging via the USB port!

I have a spare iPhone 7+ (32gb) going. It's in resonable, used condition and has had a screen protector fitted for most of it's life. The black back has water marks on it, but it works great and still looks good for a 2 year old phone.

PM me if you want some pics before I try to sell it and get scammed! 🙂

I've bought 5 phones from these people.

https://second-handphones.com/

All of them have been described as good , I'd have called them perfect.

i wouldn't look anywhere else.

I bought a phone last month from Envirofone.com - it didn't come with a charger or indeed anything apart from the phone unit itself (one less set of earbuds to chuck in a drawer) - but it was absolutely immaculate condition. Happy so far.

I have had several phones and Ipad from Smartfonestore

They replaced one with a battery problem quickly and with a better grade of the phone that I bought

All the others have been just as described
