    Would it be safe enough buying from one of the second hand shops in town?

    Looking for a 32gb iPhone 5

    I have had repairs done in these types of phone shops. One for a broken iphone 4gs screen. On the bus home I noticed there was orbit around the whole screen like it wasnt properly fitted. I was back in the shop within 30 mins.But yet they had never seen me before and it was going to €30. I reached behind the counter and found my receipt and lost my ****, but they still didnt fixed it properly( another chinese shop finally fixed it).

    I wouldnt trust a chinese phone shop. Some check for stolen phones(you must give an ID and number when selling it). But there is a chance they could give you a fake or broken phone and "not remember" who you are when you go back to complain

    I would never buy a phone from those shops, never mind an iPhone. Better options out there, like Adverts for example.

    I'd say look on adverts.ie , I'm putting my 32gb 5 up there soon for sale.

    Just watch for users with good feedback and test the phone with a sim if possible.
