what’s up y’all I am on the hunt to upgrade my old iPhone XR to the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro, for Apple intelligence. I was wondering if this listing is legitimate, link is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/196888492652

It is a blue titanium 15 PM which if it was sold regular price it would be $1.2K for 512GB model.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays.
 
No, it’s not.

Buy from someone with lots of high feedback.
Thanks man, I was skeptical about this listing as well… this seller is selling it for less than $200 bucks and they even only showed stock photos of the iPhone and box.

Ima wait for the other sellers I trust to bring their prices down to below the mid 700s, and then buy one in blue or natural titanium. Right now my carrier does not have any great ones btw.

I learnt many years ago that if something seems too good to be true, it is.

Better to wait and get what you want and pay a little more rather than get scammed and just give away your money to a stranger.

That’s why I steer clear of  scammers on eBay. I follow a few specific sellers that have high reputation and are specialized in selling iPhone and iPad, and bookmark new searches with price ranges below $800 and no bidding/auctions. One of them i saved is a LA-based seller that I bought my iPhone 7 product red new for $140 back in the day, I am waiting for their listings to drop in price and get one…
 
Update: The seller has relisted the item for $1,050. Interestingly, they now have 100% positive feedback and also sell iPads. Meanwhile, another seller has listed a natural titanium model for around $540, using images from the Apple website in their listing. Another one to trick y’all. It might be best to wait or consider heading to the carrier for the 16PM trade-in option, which offers up to $1,000.

Y’all found a better deal for iPhone 15 Pro blue titanium 256gb for $798. From a seller who has 98% positive feedback and offers free shipping 2-3 days, grabbed the final one. Hope it comes in time before I leave for work.

Case closed, y’all.
