gluedtopc 10 #1 Posted February 4, 2021 I’m looking for a re-furnished iPhone 7 or 8. Does anyone know a decent shop that sells them? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ 2,042 #2 Posted February 4, 2021 Not a shop, @gluedtopc, but I have bought from https://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/store/music happily for ages. Quality, fully refurbished guaranteed (1 year) and no-hassle returns/replacements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jomie 30 #3 Posted February 4, 2021 Gluedtopc - there are plenty on eBay, it’s a case of wading through what’s on offer. Check the grades - you will obviously pay more for grade A. My last 6S was a refurb and it’s been excellent. Had to replace the battery last year but it didn’t cost much. The 7 Plus that I recently bought came via eBay. I ended up buying a new one for a similar price to a refurbished 8. If you do buy from eBay make sure that returns are accepted and check the phone out thoroughly when you receive it. I had to return a previous 7 Plus because it was not as described - it had screen blemishes and marks on the back. Make sure the phone comes with a warranty.

*Wallace* 333 #4 Posted February 4, 2021 The shopping channel Ideal World sell refurb iPhones they do have a return it if your not happy policy so a bit of piece of mind there. Don’t know how their price compares but if you’re not comfortable with eBay it may be an option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jomie 30 #5 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Apple also have a refurbished store. I bought an iPad 2 Air from them and it’s been perfect. Edited February 4, 2021 by Jomie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Annie Bynnol 612 #7 Posted February 4, 2021 Many local shops that deal in phones and repairs have a phone number and instructions in their window and can arrange pickup/delivery for sales and repairs. They are only closed to "walk in" business and still function in all other respects. I recently did this and was offered a choice of new and second hand phones with transfer of number etc. They also picked up and returned a laptop that needed some attention. I am not aware of any breach of Covid rules. Support your local business! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jomie 30 #8 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Good point Annie Bynol - I was just thinking the same thing. Edited February 4, 2021 by Jomie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BigAl1 143 #10 Posted February 8, 2021 I used a company called Grade Mobiles https://grademobile.co.uk/ and was very happy with the service as well as the product. I would worry about many of the second hand phone shops myself - I did look at some and would prefer to use a company like this (pay be credit card) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gluedtopc 10 #11 Posted February 8, 2021 Thanks for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’ve bought an iPhone 6 Plus from them and it works fine and it really looks brand new. Would have prefer a 7or 8 version for IOS 13 really but my wife doesn’t really need it. Cheers.
