It really is and I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese code seller starts selling codes for it.
Can anyone recommend a good site to get info on the Nexus 6 preorders?
Got a tip for us?

That is my understanding - they only handle credit issues.
Wait how did you get approval for 37 lines?!?!!?!?!!? I am only approved for 10!!!!
Does swappa offer any better protection over eBay against scam buyers?
Situation that has me worried - sold a 128gb plus yesterday for $1000 - buyer creatured his eBay account yesterday and bid right at the last minute to avoid any possibility of me canceling his bid. He paid right after the auction ended, but the brand new account is setting off a red flag in my mind.
That is a total count and I don't understand why they would share that info with Apple. I get three at a time before AOLing to a company account. Then rinse and repeat.
Other interesting info... In the Documents section of the Verizon site, I had activation docs for every line I have added and AOLed, until last night. When I called to cancel the non-UDP line the rep at Verizon removed that line and all docs for lines no longer on my account. I'm looking forward to my bill in 5 days to see if I get any more activation fees. So far I haven't been hit for any of the phones I didn't open before AOLing.
Hmm

Yea that's a no go for me. I personally won't sell to any new individuals, especially something that big. Did you list in the auction that you can cancel/don't allow new ebayers to bid?
$1000 for a 128 plus in an auction format? That's very low. I sell all of mine with buy-it-now and immediate payment required. The lowest I've had to go on a 128GB plus was $1075. I won't sell any without immediate payment because I hate waiting and it also protects from non-paying bidders.
If there was a concern to be had, PayPal would hold the buyers payment. I've had that a few times.
No but you can refuse to ship to anyone without a confirmed paypal address and then you are covered by paypal's seller protection as long as you ship signature required.
Can't you refund and relist the item if you do not want to ship?
Swappa doesn't offer any protection outside of Paypal, which is of course just for the buyer.

You selling 6 or 6+ for 1075? International ?
I just recently learned that you can block users that are not part of your shipping area, I always thought when you list and only put domestic would be sufficient enough.
The thing is, you need to set those barriers which I didn't do. My 5s was being bid warred on by Pakistani and Chinese bidders. Nothing against international buyers, except shipping and insurance would probably be a buttload, and I don't want to deal with that.
Granted. I just sold the 5s and the guy hasn't responded to my messages, or paid, etc. Seems like a scammer to just remove my listing / so I don't sell it or whatever.

Yeah, that is not right.
remind me please as to how you are getting away with that?
There is paypal seller protection if you ship to a confirmed address signature required.

You are AOL'ing the lines to a business you own? And the AOL reps don't blink an eye at you AOLing lines that have not yet had a phone activated on them?
----------
Also, with swappa you can email them if you are uncomfortable selling to someone and they will refund the buyer the $10 if you tell them why you are uncomfortable and you can refund the rest of the money which reverses the transaction completely.
Not sure if you can do that on ebay.

Thanks!!!!!!
They are going to a company in the mid-west states that found me on CL. Some reps have asked but I just tell them that I am getting the phones on my account and shipping them to the AOL recipient. I explained that the phones are hard to find and this is the only way to have someone grab them in another market because of Verizon's own restrictions where the account owner must pick up in person.
Of course I keep the phones.

Nope.. they don't blink. Their job is just to complete the AOL process. I did transfer my lines to someone else first before to another person. I am the account manager for that account.
find a business that wants to take a lot UDPs line and you are good.

Got it. So the lines are having phones or whatever put on them and that kicks the unopened phone's SIM card off of the lines.
