[Closed] Where to buy second hand iPhone?

Hi all,

Looking to replace my Nexus 5 with a iPhone 6 (or 6S, depending on price). Want unlocked, 16GB (again, depending on price).

Shying away from Gumtree as it's a bit more faffy with knowing if the phone is legit etc. Also, I don't have a nano sim so wouldn't be able to check the phone right away.

Tempted to use Smartfonestore, just for the added legit-ness, but any other suggestions? Any good ebay shops?

Thanks,
Duane

There's a high street chain that buys and sells electronics of various sorts, they often have an assortment of iPhones in, but I can't remember the name of the chain. Right, it's CeX: https://uk.webuy.com

CEX is pretty good. 12 month guarantee on everything I think

Get something bigger than 16gb.

Iphones run really slowly when they are 16gb as they very quickly fill up with the HD photos etc.

There are loads of professional sellers on ebay, a friend used to run a business that bought and sold them and I used him a couple of times. Even with preferential rates, it proved to be a bad decision, iphones don't have the longevity that their premium pricing implies. I won't buy another.

Yes, two 3gs and one 4s, none lasted more than 18 months. Now buy android phones.
