Selling an extra iPhone

[Ukyank1]

Not worth selling it to me. iPhones attract scammers like nothing else.

They’re not selling all that much above retail on eBay (especially after ebay’s & paypal’s ever increasing fees) to make it worth the very big risk of a buyer scamming you.

Craigslist there’s always the fear of someone passing you counterfeit bills when they pay.

If you're willing to open the iPhone box before selling it (sealed units sell for higher prices), you should: 1) take out the included SIM card, 2) put another carrier SIM in it (non-Verizon just to test the unlock), 3) power on the iPhone and fill out the activation unlock prompts (see pic attachments), 4) verify the non-Verizon carrier signal on the iPhone, 5) erase, reset the iPhone and box it up for sale.

Thank you for clearing up the confusion!

once you receive the phone and know the numbers from the back of the box, why wouldn't you just be able to remove that sim's id numbers from your Verizon account by calling?

Scalpers suck but only half the problem. It’s the idiots that pay stupid amounts for the item that are the other half of the problem. If no one bought from scalpers there would be no scalpers.

Haha, nice. The guy PM’d me yesterday and tried to sell me the phone for $1500. I reported him.

Because of me, someone who would have had to wait 6+ weeks to receive one otherwise, will be able to have it on day one. Yet that disgusts you? Sad!

How is this a scam? You have a willing buyer and willing seller. It's called an arms length transaction.
