I sincerely hope this is a case of third time lucky because this is now a second relist due to the winners of both my previous auctions not being serious bidders and disappearing without a trace, resulting in an SNC and blacklisting.
Please read the important note below and do not place a bid unless you are serious and intend to follow through if you win.
After successfully finding a wonderful new home for my girlfriend's phone a few weeks ago, now it's my turn to part with my faithful companion of the last two years (my phone, not my girlfriend!) and offer my iPhone 5 64GB to you as a Crazy Auction starting at R1 with no reserve! The phone is white and silver in colour and in absolutely mint condition, as you can see from the photos (click for full-sized images).
The phone is running the latest iOS 8.1.3 and comes with all original retail packaging and accessories (USB power adapter, Lightning to USB cable and Apple EarPods with remote and microphone)—all of which are brand-new and never been used.
In addition, I'm also throwing in a (used) scarlet red Spigen iPhone 5S / 5 Leather Wallet Case Snap case, valued at approximately R700. This is an extremely handy genuine leather portfolio-/wallet-style case with space for two credit cards and a unique, detachable polycarbonate inner hard case for extra versatility.

This is a great opportunity to finally get your hands on a stunning 64GB iPhone 5 in as-new condition for a fraction of the retail price of a new model. The phone is offered with no reserve, bidding starts at just R1.00 and this bundle (whose retail value is around R9,500) will go to the highest bidder by Thursday afternoon, so get your bid in quickly and make sure it's you. Happy bidding!
Important note: Regrettably, due to negative past experiences, bids from buyers with accounts registered in the last week without any successful sales concluded will be removed, as will all bids from buyers with negative ratings. This auction is for serious, established buyers only.
