Would you buy a High end Mobile off Sheffield Forum?


Recommended Posts

Game and places like that do second hand phones - I'd go there over somebody from here (long standing members aside - although even then, what do you do if it developed a fault?).

 

CEX now offer 2 years warranty on everything, if you buy a phone off someone on SF and it stops working after 6 months then I doubt you have any redress.

I mean the latest phone within a short period of time of release. E.g. within a few months of the latest iPhone release. This may not be what the OP was referring to though.

 

Probably not. They said "High end", not "The latest, just released phone".

None at all if it just breaks, if it's blocked however then that's a form of fraud and you have legal redress.

My thoughts was to buy a S6 Edge or S7 for her of here. I seen a few for sale on here and thought about buying off here. Then i saw the thread about a phone been blocked and the buyer was out by hundreds. I been stung myself but not off here. But you see phones selling on here, so people must be buying the. I will buy from a shop seems safer.

On that thread there are certain registers you can check.

 

What you can also do is get yourself a receipt plus something that confirms by them it is their property, owned wholly by them etc and not part of a credit agreement.

 

make sure payment is traceable.

 

make sure you know who you are dealing with.

 

Its possible to do such a transaction if both parties are keen,

I'll be selling mine in August, hopefully my long standing account is enough to give people some confidence.
