    as the title suggests, does anyone know where I could get a bulk of factory unlocked iphones (4s/ 5/ 5s/ 5c) sealed in box or clean second hand?

    I run a repair shop and i buy the odd broken iphone and fix it up and sell it to make use of spare cash but there just aren't enough cheap and broken phones!

    I know a guy in town who can source a bulk of iphones (seem to be american iphones) unlocked and hes doing it for years without getting in trouble so they aren't stolen. i don't expect him to tell me where exactly he gets them though, I doubt he'd tell me and risk me putting him out of business.

    Yeah there's loads of sites online offering these services but what one can i trust??!

    some help would be great,

    Mark, Cavan/ drung iPhone repairs

    Sadly I've tried this a few times with no luck. It seems to attract people who think I'm looking for illegally found phones..!

    Contact the charities, Jack & Gill etc and maybe offer to buy any iphones that come in to them.

    Bare in mind. Phones sold and stolen in other countries. Can be used in Ireland.

    I know this but I've a thought. If I buy a blacklisted iPhone unlocked for example and bring it into Ireland it will work perfect right?

    If I buy a blacklisted iPhone locked to AT&T and bring it into Ireland am I able to request to unlock it to any network? Or because it's locked and blacklisted- the carrier won't unlock it because they know it's been blacklisted? Or (please tell me) can I still unlock this phone so it still works in Ireland even though it was originally locked on AT&T?

    Phones are blacklisted for a reason!
