Anyone know a reputable iPhone spare parts dealer? (6s plus specifically)

I am trying to find a full screen assembly for my partners iPhone 6s+, but I am finding vastly differing prices from various websites and dealers. Ranging from some obviously shonky <$50 up to $680. Generally they seem to be in the range of z$220-$600 ish.

My dilemma is I have nothing to go off as to which is closest in quality to the original apple parts.

I have no interest in paying exuberant prices to get a "higher" quality than the original parts (the need to replace was water damage, so happy with the durability of the original parts). I just want to replace what was there with "original" parts. I realise Apple doesn't officially resell parts, but that certainly doesn't mean their suppliers don't.

Has anyone had any experiences with good dealers who either use genuine or almost genuine parts? My budget would have to be <$500 though I'd be hoping closer to $250 or less.

tl;dr where can I buy a screen assembly for an iphone 6s plus that is the same as the original parts , or at least almost the same quality for <$500?

    Sorry if I am misinterpreting your post, but if the 6s+ works apart from the screen, Apple Australia offers non-warranty screen repair for $248.95.

      That would have been good, but they said they won't repair it since its water damage :(

        OOW refurbished iPhone 6S plus is $499.95 , you still get a warranty and a new working phone.

          The customer service line said they dont accept water damaged phones in that instance.. But everything else online says that they do so long as the phone is still able to turn on.

          Well we booked into the apple store tomorrow so u guess we will find out then! :D

          @dreadpiratedan: Bullcrap they don't accept them.

          As long as someone else hasn't messed with it, they'll replace it. It's accidental damage…

    Aliexpress. Look for sellers with good feedback as well specific items that have had comments about LCD quality. Shipping times aren't that great unless you pay extra.
