Looking for used iphone5 or similar
« on: August 16, 2018, 11:45:19 AM »
Hi there,
I'm looking for a used iphone5 or similar. Basically I want something that's OK and quite cheap to tide me over before the likely new release of phones from Apple in September.
Thanks

IMHO This is the most reliable site to buy used phones on.

They have security measures re: stolen phones/IMEI checks (so, better than ebay), but not as expensive as buying from a store.

There are at least a dozen shops on 74th St. near Diversity Plaza that sell used and refurbished iphones. A used Model 5 runs about $100 I think and if it breaks these shops are expert at making repairs.

Thanks for comments.
I ended up with a new SE from ATT for $50 on a prepaid deal.
