Hi everyone, i'm actually looking for an Iphone 5s for my mum. I've looked through mudah, lyn forum and also a few online portal with shops but i don't really feel that i can trust them. Some of the shops i found through mudah has a lot of bad reviews when i goggled about it. Some sell refurbished phone as new phones and make the buyer pay RM150+ even though there's warranty by the shop. rclxub.gif

I know new iphone 5s is around Rm1.9k-Rm2.1k (16GB) while refurbished is around Rm1.4k-1.5k. I would prefer to buy from a shop with warranty even though it's refurbished rather than buying from individuals due to the warranty.

Therefore, my question is where should i start looking? Subang and PJ should be convenient for me. smile.gif

Try search in lowyat forum here under garage sales. Look for imported iphone. Basically they are refurbish/recond phone from outside malaysia. I have bought ip5 and ip5s for myself and they are ok. Already use ip5 for 1 year and ip5s for 3 mnths. No issue so far, just that battery is not that great after 1 year. Battery is easy replaceable.

I see, how about the warranty part? Is it a Sg set?

They provide their own warranty (AP set). Usually come from Hong Kong or America
