I'm looking at some used iphones 4/4S on ebay. They are all with iOS 7 bur originally had iOS 6. If I factory reset the device, will iOS 6 show up?

I actually want to do this, as I want an iOS 6 iphone

No, it will restore to the latest available version of iOS, in this case, 7.1.2. You'd have to buy a phone that is still on iOS 6.
 
No way to get iOS 6 back on a phone that has iOS 7 already (perhaps with a slight exception of some iPhone 4 phones that have blobs saved from earlier version specifically for them).
 
Are you going to tell how?


(This may be relevant to my own issues)

Case solved because its not possible. I had a question and I got a definite answer.

Moreover, I did find already a phone sellin on ebay with iOS6, I only hope its not fake
