Collection of iPhone Success – Multi-Unit Refurb Flip

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.

Breaking Down the Flip

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.
