Buying iPhones From Aliexpress by Kbanka: 12:00am On Jun 08, 2017
Good day peeps

I just finished NYSC and want to start selling phones. I've been looking and I found that iPhones (used) on aliexpress.com are usually very cheap; Not so cheap as to obviously point out they're fake though. Soo I want to know if there's anyone out there with experience in buying from there. I already buy replacement phone spareparts from them and they've all turned out to be stellar so far.

Are they really as original as they look? Or are they clones? Thanks in advance.

Are their phones from other non-Chinese manufacturers original also?

Simple advise

Ask seller for imei of the iPhone. To be on safe side, buy from Craigslist or OfferUp and letgo. Then contact mikkyangel to help you ship it for few tips and it's fast too unless when custom begins their night vigil

For your piece of mind stick to Chinese brands on AliExpress.
Western brands are usually refurbished phones.
Doubtful you'll get a fake phone because AliExpress clamps down on the store if they sell fake devices.
