Bought for £63 and now worth around £170, a clean iPhone 12 pickup found through the Vinted Monitor.
Tech lots on Vinted can be absolute gold if you know what to look for. This batch of older iPhones, mostly SE and 6/7/8 models, was purchased as a bundle for under £70, with sellers assuming they were faulty or not worth fixing. After installing a few inexpensive batteries and doing simple refurb work, the entire collection reached over £300+ in total resale value.
Bundle Advantage: Buying small iPhones in bulk cuts down the cost per unit.
Simple Repairs: Battery swaps (£5-£10 each) restored full functionality.
High Demand: Older iPhones remain in high demand among parents, kids, and as backup devices.
Monitor Boost: Vinted Monitor picked up each listing fast, allowing all units to be acquired cheaply.
Massive ROI: £70 into £300+ is a clear sign of how profitable refurb plays can be.
