Broken iPhone for Anyone Interested
« on: April 02, 2016, 08:28:41 AM »
Hello friends!
This old iPhone used to belong to my partner - she had it for more than two years before it finally crapped out on her. Meaning that the screen no longer works.

We tried selling it to a few of the online services, but they all returned it because they said the "Find My iPhone" function is still turned on. She turned it off (in the cloud) after the phone died, so maybe the cloud's message hasn't reached the phone.

So now we're offering it to one of you. Interested in seeing what's inside? Want to try to harvest some components? Or maybe try your luck reselling it yourself? Have at it! Make us an offer that you think is fair - hopefully at least enough to cover the shipping - and we'll pop it in the mail to you.

Specs: iPhone 5, 16 GB

I'm a college student and would love to get inside an iPhone to see what kind of cool stuff is inside! What'd shipping to the UK run up cost wise?

Hey Connor! I looked it up for you and it looks like it would be about $14 to ship it your way, and then you can look inside to your heart's content : -) If you're interested, PM me your mailing address and I'll give you my paypal address :)

I would be happy to take it if Connor doesn't want it.  Would be happy to pay USPS prices, either First Class or a small flat rate box.

Hi apdale!
I never did hear from Connor, so it's all yours! Please PM me your mailing address, and I'll reply with my paypal address and how much it'll cost to send it your way. :)

Which carrier's iPhone is it?

I may have a spare screen once I replace the slightly yellow one on my old iPhone 5. Might be worth putting it on to see if it can be resurrected (ie: if it's the display or logic board).

I can understand if international postage is super expensive though :)
