Hello,


 


I am about to buy a used iPhone 5 in ''excellent'' condition.


 


I have 2 choices:


 


The 16gb ($340) with 3 month warranty 


http://www.ebay.com....tm/181559681675


 


-OR-


 


The 32gb ($350) with only eBay's default 30 day return thing.


http://www.ebay.com....=item2ed909666d


 


I don't really need that much space for games and stuff as i have a iPad for that. Just music, photos and maybe a few games


 


I feel like i should get the 32gb cause of the space and only $10 more but.. buying a used phone i feel like warranty is very important aswell.


 


Thanks.

if its gonna fail, it should do so in less than 30 days

otherwise it will probably take more than 3 months for any issues to arise, in which case either warranty will no longer cover it

 

so IMO the 32GB is worth it if you think you will use it

alright, another thing was the 16gb seller looked more professional and that the item would be in a better condition.

But i'm not sure 

I think the 32gb might be worth seeing the 16gb is only 11gb with ios 8.

11GB isnt really enough for a bunch of apps and music...

Yeah, one other thing i just noticed with the 32gb is down the bottom theres a returns tab and it says only 7 days but up the top 30 days, do you know anything about that?

no idea...
