If I buy a Craigslist Sprint iPad Mini 4 from a guy for what seems like too cheap a price and if it gets blacklisted by Sprint (I have no plan to use it on Sprint) will it still work on GSM carriers?

It isn't THAT cheap but it is below what I would expect. It sounds like he purchased it on the Sprint payment plan and I'm afraid if he stops paying for it it will be totally useless (except as a wi-fi iPad of course).
 
I bought a sprint iPad Air 2 off eBay with a bad esn, I bought an apple sim on eBay for $5 and it is now working on T-Mobile 200 mb for life without any issues. Can't gurantee it will work that way for you but it did for me.
