okay so i currently have an 8gb iphone unlocked to rogers
selling it with a blue tooth headset and a new screen protector on it, got someone who i am going to meet friday night for $500 CDN

then found a lady in the states who is going to send me a 16gb BRAND NEW still in plastic seal in box for $300 USD including shipping and handling. umm any reason to be concerned bout this being a refurb or no?

but i think thats a killer deal. so ill unlock it, but some cheap accessories, screen protector etc, once the 3g phone is released ill sell this one and get the new one if i really need to

Do not allow your iPhone to be sent overseas, without you making PHONE contact with the buyer, and do not send your iPhone via FEDEX with a tracking number until that money order clears the bank, 'cause there are too many FAKE money orders coming from the UK (What I'm saying is this, I would never take a money order for an iPhone or a computer for that matter). BE CAREFUL. :eek::eek::eek:
 
Omg!!!! You should certainly sell your iPhone for $500+, but DO NOT buy the one from the lady. It is certainly a scam, and the new iPhone will be out in less than 2 weeks. Why would you want to buy an older model?

My mantra is to never transact business via moneygram or western union. I trust my credit card and paypal.

Listen to the advice, and dont get scammed.

Besides, who in their right mind would ever sell a 16gb for only $300? Even the refurbished 16gb ones cost $349. If you ask me, this is similar to those guys who post spam on macrumors claiming their company sells iphones for 150, and PS3's for $250...
