Hi guys.

I have 2 iphones 4S and 1 3GS. I use them everyday and cant be more happy.

But now im facing iphone 5.

I found them on eBay (also those 3 phones were bought on eBay) for 600$ shipped.

BUT they have bad ESN.

Just 1 short answer as googling it couldnt clarify me.

Can i use them outside US Ex in Albania with GSM mobiles. Im handy with jailbreak / flashin / Gevey etc.

Thank you !

Don't know where you live, but considering 600US$ for an iPhone with bad ESN and you will probably ending with a customs problem (taxes due importing), it was better to check anywhere else. An new iPhone unlocked costs 700 dolars...

True.
But for $649 you can buy a brand new factory unlocked i5. No risk with an eBay auction, blacklisted or unlock needed.
Saving $49 is not really dirt cheap.

For me, id pay the additional money and buy without any worries direct from apple. Between eBay, bad esn, blacklist, etc. it would be a very small price to pay for the piece of mind. Can't believe u would even consider the eBay one, actually.

Actually i cant buy from apple and unlocked here costs 1200 Euros. And Locked one 700 Euros. So 500 E its way to much. Thats why i was considering ebay. I dotn care if its stolen there in the US. Im way to far US and eBay is the only place to buy.
