Trading A 6 For A 6+ On Craigslist - How To Ensure Safety?

[617aircav]

This is the new concern for everyone, if you're buying a used iPhone, how would you even know if it's on a payment plan or not? The seller could always lie, sell the phone, and then just stop making the payment plan payments.

That is the risk you take. My rule is to always pay below market value, that way if I get screwed I can alway sell the phone as is and recover most if not all of my money. I also not buy phones that are unlocked or that can cheaply be unlocked. This way my market is bigger.

This is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Are you sure his bill will get paid for the next 2 years?

DON'T DO IT

Just to update this thread, I didn't end up going through with the trade. I found a 64GB 6+ at the Apple Store yesterday and just bought it full retail, letting me enjoy both phones now for a little while until I choose the one that works better for me.

VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION: Exchange original purchase receipts.

Video tape/store exchange wont do crap for that. As long as the phone has a receipt attached then you can unblacklist it.
