Used iPhones in Middlesbrough typically sell for £80 to £600 (about $110 to $810). Almost all of the spread comes down to two things buyers check before anything else: which generation it is, and what the battery health reads.
Selling an iPhone in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough grew from a hamlet to an iron and steel town in a single lifetime and its transporter bridge is one of very few left working anywhere. The chemical and process industry on Teesside remains substantial, and the university sits in the middle of the town.
The town is flat and compact and parking is easy by any standard, which makes collecting something large genuinely simple. The station and the transporter bridge are the landmarks everyone uses.
On process and engineering tools, ask whether they came off an industrial site. Teesside equipment is often heavy duty and worth having, but site hours are not domestic hours.
Middlesbrough, in England, has around 175,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Middlesbrough
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.

What iPhones are worth
What lifts the price
- Carrier-unlocked, with the original box, cable and IMEI clear on checks
- Recent generations still receiving iOS updates
What pulls it down
- A locked handset, or one with any finance or iCloud lock still attached
- Battery health under 80%, where iOS starts flagging service warnings
Working out what yours is worth
- Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health and note the maximum capacity percentage
- Check the model and storage in Settings > General > About
Getting it ready
- Sign out of iCloud and erase all content and settings, then confirm Activation Lock is off. A locked iPhone is worth almost nothing and cannot be used by anyone else.
- Find the model and storage in Settings → General → About, and check whether the carrier line says Unlocked.
Photograph
- Front, screen on and showing the home screen, so the display is provably working
- The Battery Health screen with the percentage visible
Put in the description
- Exact model and generation, and the storage capacity in GB
- Whether it is network unlocked, and which carrier it came from if not
Small and valuable, which makes it the classic target for payment scams. Confirm payment has cleared into your own account before the phone leaves your hands, meet in a public place, and never post ahead of payment.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
