    Hi all,
    Does anyone know how a lot of advert and DoneDeal users can have like 10 IPhone X for sale at 200 euro cheaper than from a shop or Apple ?
    It’s been puzzling me for years

    This regularly gets asked here from time to time. Here's a link to the last thread on the subject, with the various replies that might explain it

    (BTW, you can rule out the replies suggesting that these are "Goophones", i.e. cheap Chinese knockoffs running Android. Nobody would be stupid enough to think they could charge 6 or 7 hundred for those yokes and get away with it. The feedback alone would be redder than a slaughterhouse floor.)

    There’s a good chance you’d be buying refurbished phones in sealed boxes with cheap EarPods, plugs and chargers. There’s plenty of videos on YouTube showing how it’s done.

    OP is the one who asked exactly the same question the last time, in the thread Duridian linked.
