Apple
Compare used Apple, chat with the seller and test the device before paying.
The most common trap on a used phone isn't the scratch: it's the previous owner's account left inside the device. On Apple, here is where to look — before paying, with the phone in your hand.
Ask for the IMEI too (dial *#06#) and compare it with the one in the listing and on the box label. A seller who refuses to give the IMEI is a seller to walk away from.
The catalogue lists 416 Apple models, from 2001 to 2026.
Mobiles
Accessories
Desktop PCs
The Apple page groups listings by model and by city so you can choose a device with a clearer condition and price.
There is no single brand price, and at Apple there is not even one per range: Mobiles, Tablets, Wearables, Audio, Accessories, Computers, Desktop PCs do not lose value at the same rate and are not checked the same way. Go down to the range you want, then to the model: its page shows the median asking price computed from active listings.
At that budget you are usually looking at earlier generations or entry-level specs. That is fine for everyday use, but check battery health and that the account has been removed: in this bracket those are what ruin the deal.
Account locks do not work the same way on every brand. Further down this page you will find the exact steps for Apple: which account the seller must sign out of, and how to confirm the device can really become yours.
