Where Are The Best Deals For Buying An IPhone?

By James Spacey

The iPhone has been a revolution in smart phone technology and apart from a few dedicated detractors everyone wants one. The problem is that when you're shopping for a new cell phone and a smart phone in particular the iPhone is still an expensive option. If you do want to buy a new iPhone you want to be able to make sure you have some of your hard earned money available to pay for your internet access and to upload the best apps. So how do you find the best iPhone deals? Easy. Shop online.

eBay and Amazon are probably the best places to start your online iPhone search. These heavyweights have been influencing the price of consumer electronics for years and that trend doesn't look like stopping anytime soon. And there are millions of everyday people who are taking advantage of the opportunity on eBay to sell consumer goods from their garages by making deals with wholesalers and drop shippers across the world. For this reason iPhones are really cheap on eBay. But there are also other places you can look.

Most consumer electronics stores also offer the iPhone for sale online. And the big name department stores also have online shopfronts, though you can always expect to pay close to retail price at these big name websites because of the huge overheads they carry to supply their stock. This is why you can get great deals on iPhones online. Because the people who are selling them from their garages have $0 overhead and can afford to lower the price considerably to get your business. They might only make a few dollars from the sale, but they sell hundreds of product because of their low prices.

My personal pick for buying an iPhone online is eBay. I used to sell on eBay so I have some faith in the system. I know that many people make their living on the basis of their feedback score and so they will do everything they can to please you. Plus, the feedback score is your first place to look to get trust. If someone has sold 100 iPhones with no difficulty you can be pretty certain you're going to have no problems either. Also, if you buy with PayPal on eBay you get $10,000 of insurance on each purchase.

Trust is everything online. eBay and Amazon both have great feedback systems and dodgy sellers soon disappear while the ones that provide good service thrive. It's not hard to spot these people. They have massive positive feedback scores and raving review comments.

To get the best deal on an iPhone shop online. Be careful to make sure the website you're buying from is legitimate. And if you're buying from an auction site or storefront make sure you look at feedback carefully. Following these tips could easily save you 50% of the retail price.
