    i think you knew something fishy but because its cheap you really want to get other to justify your decision to buy.
    well, good luck

    No fingerprint sensor… Redditors say 2nd hand IP's with no TouchID probably means the phones have been meddled with internally.

    I would never buy this. It says it is new in box yet the fingerprint scanner doesnt work - super dodgy.

    Seller is based in China - enough said!

  • If I'm not mistaken, that's below the cost price (including parts, labour, distribution, etc.). I'd steer clear of that item if I were you.

    EDIT: As of 2014 - $200+ USD in parts and labour for an iPhone 6.

    EDIT 2: It's not 'unreasonable' for it to be sold below cost price given it's older, and not marked as 'Brand New'. However, the missing fingerprint thing…yeah, it's almost definitely a fake made to look cosmetically similar, and running some iOS-lookalike-OS that's actually skinned/modified Android.
