    Hi everyone,
    Looking to sell my iPhone 5! It's new since January (replaced by apple as I had trouble with the battery!) and the screen was replaced just last week as a dropped it, it's in nearly perfect condition as I have a cover on it. Just wondering, if I am selling it online, how much should I ask for it? I have the earphones and boz but the charger cable is a bit bent at the top?
    Thanks

    Its going to depend on the storage capacity, which you haven't mentioned. Who replaced the screen?

    I'd be interested in hearing how difficult it was to get Apple to replace the phone due to battery issues? I'm only getting 3/4 hours from a full charge and have a month left on my warranty. I was quoted by CEX yesterday for an iPhone 5 16gb €294 cash value.

    Hi, can I just ask, what is CEX? I'm looking to sell an iphone 5 32gb

    You sure they valued the right phone. For an unlocked 16gb A rated iPhone 5 they give €288 cash.

    The €294 was for an unlocked grade A iPhone 5 16gb in white.

    I was the same, first time I rang they sent out the box etc for the phone and got it back but it was the exact same phone and didn't seem to be repaired at all! I left it for a few months and rang just before my warrantee was up - this time I got my dad to do it as I think they hadn't really taken me seriously when I rang myself (I'm a 19 year old girl and have a young voice!) apple were full of apologies even got a personal phone contact for a manager in holly hill - sent back the phone and it was replaced by a brand new one!!

    That was quite cheap. Those trade shops are usually dearer than the send away places like CEX.

    Yes I guess was cheap compared tp other places, thought maybe nicked!! or problem with it. When i went to buy it I brought one of my mates who would be a lot more tech savy than me and he found no issue, and so far its fine plus I got a 6 month warranty.

    Cool I'll try calling them tomorrow. That price I got from CEX was from the shop in Cork next to the old Virgin store.
