Even the ones with cracked glass go for more than that.
 
Price has dropped since 5 came out but a 4s will still run u 300 n up. Even the broken ones are sold for 200 on eBay.
 
LOL I am

I just have one more quick question for you guys. I'm considering a used Bad ESN iPhone 4s off of eBay, and I was wondering if (other than not being able to activate it on the network) if there was any other issues with buying a Bad ESN iPhone. Thanks!

I'm amazed at the busted up junk iPhones being sold for $200+ on eBay. Some folks definitely have their priorities screwed up.

What exactly would you be using it for? It cannot be activated on any US network if it has a bad ESN.
 
Be patient and go thru ebay. Just missed one for 225 shipped SMH. It was for verizon.

Why not just get one REALLY cheap through the carrier?

Considering he's looking for off contract I would say he's not up for upgrade, wanting to use on prepaid, or looking to keep unlimited on Verizon.

$200 just isn't going to cut it. Up it to $300 and keep an eye on craigslist and you'll find one.

If its a bad esn phone then you will not be able to use it as a phone.
Just as an ipod touch.
Its blacklisted.

I believe you can use bad esn phones on prepaid mvno's like page plus, straight talk, or metro pcs

Metropcs I wouldnt doubt.
All other prepaid carriers that run off Tmobiles or AT&T's network wont work.
All 4 major carriers share the same blacklisted database now.
Again if its a verizon or sprint 4S then its useless since it wont accept any US carriers sims anyway.
And if its sold as a bad ESN iphone 4S then Im pretty positive its about a CDMA carriers 4S and not AT&T's. Cause it would have said bad/blacklisted IMEI.
Not ESN.
 
Bad Esn iPhones can be unlocked with the Gevey sim and used on tmobile, straight talk, simple mobile, etc.

One of my friends ordered a 64gb bad Esn Verizon iPhone 4S on eBay a few months ago for $300 and has been using it on tmobile since July.
 
Bad ESN Phones will go for 225 on EBAY, I'm gonna do those other than the $300 ones on CL

Then buy an iPod Touch. Much cheaper.

Not exactly, I want Siri, and the 8 MP camera, and if I can get that for $225 (Bad ESN) on EB, that's MUCH better tan 300 for the new iPod

----------

And the new iPod only has a 5MP Camera

Only on basebands on firmware version 5.1.1 and below.
Update that 4S to 6.0 and that gevey will be useless.
 
I'm getting more, for less, I love that + I like the 4S design MUCH better than the new iPod's
