Best Places to Buy Refurb iPhones?

[LeeNetworX]

I'm wary of eBay these days. Anyone know of a good place to buy refurb/quality used iPhone 4 with no contract? I've found a few sites but so far the prices are making me cringe.

Our two year old decided to thank our friends for taking us out on their boat yesterday by throwing their daughter's phone in Lake Lanier.

You could get a Verizon iPhone 5, it's already unlocked

I'm laughing while I say it but I'm sorry.

Ahhhh. Didn't think about The sellers on Amazon with used phones. Thanks.

I looked at Cowboom and it seems all of the ones under $400 are riddled with scratches or cracked/chipped. There's a ton on Amazon in the mid-$200 range that look good.

It doesn't sound like locked/unlocked matters but $650 without a contract does.

Turning out to be an expensive freaking weekend. Upstairs AC unit went out last night. Also commited to buying a Stoeger auto 12 gauge yesterday before this happened. :/

Worst part is the poor kid - she finally got her mom's hand me down iPhone after waiting months and months and it was her first day with the phone. She was in tears.

I didn't even know private parties were selling on Amazon. What is the advantage over Ebay? Most of those people have no experience, and don't even provide photos.

Assuming he has a family plan, and that you can buy X number of additional phones at contract price with no impact on the monthly bill (doubtful), then he could just buy it and give it to someone else, and let them swap out the card and activate it on their carrier.
