      US ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-Apple-iPhone-4-32GB-32-GB-4G-HD-UNLOCKED-/270569740551?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3eff369907

      UK ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-Apple-iPhone-4-32GB-32-GB-4G-HD-UNLOCKED-/270584462355?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item3f00173c13#ht_4231wt_911

      I'm kinda suspicious about this deal, I know the seller is a top-rated seller and they have good feedback, but how are they selling the iPhone 4 32GB for £550 when the retail price (from Apple) is £599? How are they making a profit? They are based in Spain, I don't know if they can get them cheaper there or what? But most other sellers are selling the same iPhone 4 32GB for over £700.

      Also, (and please forgive me for being ignorant) but will this "unlocked" Spanish iPhone 4 work here in the UK? There aren't any restrictions or anything like that are there? It will be just like an iPhone 4 bought in the UK, right?

      I guess the shipping will take a while, coming from Spain. But I don't really care seeing as it's even cheaper than Apple are selling it for.

      Please advise, thanks :)

      It's tough to say, he has pretty much perfect feedback... But then again if it sounds too good to be true.... Man tough call, but ebay has buyer protection so I would say go for it? Good luck! :)

      That's a near-perfect track record. If you can't trust this, well, you can't trust anyone on eBay. Let's just hope someone in Spain didn't accidentally confuse a shipment of 3GS's with 4's. Best of luck.

      Well I was just about to buy it and then the listing was taken down....
      Obviously something must be wrong. Is it still showing for you guys?
      I guess I'll just have to wait until July 14th to get one.
      Thanks everyone for the help anyway :)

      I bet someone actually hacked his account (happened to me) and posted that listing. Looks like he or ebay just found out.

      Damn it. I never have any good luck on ebay.
      I'll be keeping an eye on the seller over the next couple of days, just incase he re-lists it, but somehow I doubt it.
      Thanks for the help :)
