Where to get Apple's iPhone X right now for the lowest premium

Named one of Time Magazine's "25 Best Inventions of 2017," the iPhone X is in hot demand this holiday season with an extended wait time of 2 to 3 weeks when purchased directly from Apple. If you want to get your hands on the new device right now, though, there are ways to reduce the premium while still getting the storage capacity and color you desire. By purchasing from a third-party seller on eBay or Amazon, you can snag an unlocked iPhone X with free shipping in many cases — and most sellers will not collect sales tax in a variety of states, putting the device in your hands the soonest. Here's a roundup of the latest iPhone X listings that offer shoppers the lowest premium over MSRP.

Current iPhone X prices on eBay

With limited inventory available to third-party sellers, most iPhone X listings on eBay are in the form of single unit auctions or buy it now posts. If the buy it now price is higher than you'd like to pay or the shipping cost is too high in your opinion, look for the best offer tag to name your own price. Be sure to review a seller's feedback prior to bidding as an added safety measure.
