Buying secondhand is just the smart move when the saving is real and the device does everything you actually need it to do.
The honest bit first. Face ID is not working on this iPhone, so you will be unlocking with your passcode. The screen also has faint markings and a display message that typically clears up after a few days. The frame has nicks and the casing has light scratches and markings, and the taptic button is a little stiff. All of that is why the price looks the way it does.
Screen: Faint markings visible and a display message present, which typically disappears after a few days. Otherwise the screen is in good condition.
Casing: Nicks around the frame and light scratches and markings on the casing. The taptic button is a bit stiff. Overall fairly good cosmetic condition.
Battery: Health is at 87%.
Functions: Comprehensively tested and confirmed working, with the exception of Face ID, which is not functioning. All other system functions are in working order.
Overall: A fully functional iPhone 12 that handles everything you throw at it, with Face ID as the one trade-off and some normal cosmetic wear that keeps the price honest.
Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out.
In the box: Generic USB cable. Original box not included.

There is only one, and it might be in someone else's cart right now. A cart does not hold it, checking out does. The first person to check out claims it, and we then hold it just for them for 2 hours to pay. Settle within that window and it is yours. Let it lapse and it goes back up for whoever is next in line. Pay before 13:00 on a weekday (not Friday) and it is packed and dispatched the same day.
Door to door, anywhere in South Africa. Every device is local stock, sent via The Courier Guy with a tracking number the moment it leaves us. No imports, no customs queue, no waiting weeks for a parcel from overseas.
The price you see is the price you pay. Because it ships from right here, there are no surprise VAT bills or import duties landing after checkout, the kind that catch people out when they buy refurbished from abroad. What you pay is the whole story.
