It finally took a shiny new iPhone 6 to separate my girlfriend from her beloved and trusty iPhone 5 16GB, which we can now offer to you—starting at R1 with no reserve! The phone is white in colour and in pristine condition, as you can see from the photos (click for full-sized images).
In the interests of full disclosure, please note that there are two minor cosmetic imperfections on the top bevel of the phone (see above photos), but you really have to squint just to see them.
The phone is running the latest iOS 8.1.2 and comes with all original retail packaging and accessories (USB power adapter, Lightning to USB cable and Apple EarPods with remote and microphone). In addition, we're also throwing in the following additional accessories worth over R500:

The phone is offered with no reserve, bidding starts at just R1.00 and this bundle (whose retail value is over R8,500) will go to the highest bidder by the end of the week, so get your bid in quickly and make sure it's you. Happy bidding!
