Deal Alert: Get Over $100 Off 64GB iPhone X [Tax-Free, Limited Time Only]

Apple’s iPhone X is the hottest smartphone in town, at least until Samsung takes the wraps off of its Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ handsets, but for all the futuristic technology found inside Apple’s flagship, there is no doubting the fact that buyers have to pay for it all.

Face ID is a great addition to the smartphone market, but in order to get an iPhone with it built in, you’re talking $999 for the cheapest model available, before local sales tax is added into the equation, which is around $80-$100 over the retail price depending on which state you are in. Thankfully, there are sometimes deals that mean we can pick up a bit of a bargain, even on Apple’s thousand dollar wunder-phone.

Take this deal, available via eBay, as an example. With a buy-it-now price of $985, that already represents a $14 saving over Apple’s starting price. What makes this deal even better though is the lack of any sales tax being added at checkout, so whereas you may have to hand over as much as another $85 in tax just to take your shiny new iPhone home, that is not the case here. This all adds up to a potential $100+ saving, and that really isn’t something to be sniffed at.

For your $985 you will get an iPhone X, in 64GB guise and in your choice of either Silver or Space Gray colors. I still find it difficult to look beyond the Space Gray, but with the iPhone X having a black front no matter which color you opt for, now might be as good a time as any to give the alternate color a try.

The seller in question, “alldayzip,” has a 100% feedback rating across 13637 reviews at the time of writing so, theoretically at least, this should be a pretty safe transaction but remember, eBay’s money back guarantee does also add a little peace of mind here, too.

Buy: iPhone X 64GB Tax-free from eBay: $985 | Original price with tax: ~$1,100
