Buying an iPhone 4 off gumtree?
Basically, I'm buying an iphone 4 off gumtree and I want to make sure I'm not getting scammed and the best ways to avoid this?
My idea is to meet up at the apple get them to check it over and stuff,
-check the imei & serial number which he has given to me
-check for water damage and whatnot
then get the seller to sign some paper saying they legally hand over the phone to me, so they can't just say its been stolen, get it blocked and cash in with insurance companies.
any other ideas that could help me?
it is a pretty reasonable price so yeah.
You just take the risk, usually a cheap price = there's something wrong as it is easy to get the new RRP for a second hand phone.
- Should I buy an Iphone 5 of gumtree or craigslist? There's a 16gb one for £110 from gumtree and a 64gb one for £280, its cheap but it still seems a little bit shady so i'm not too sure? Is it worth it or will i probably get a faulty phone or scammed?
- Is it safe to buy from gumtree? I'm thinking about buying iPhone 4S 16GB from GumTree and want to meet the person who sellls it, but what if the person will report it stolen and block it? How can I prove I bought it? THE PHONE WILL BE UNLOCKED AND WILL GO TO RUSSIA IF THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- Iphone - buying an iphone offline from Apple and buying a sim only? Does it not work out cheaper, to buy the handset offline, and have a sim only contact and buy a nano chip separately? if you buy it from the apple store do you have to pay vat? what is the cache?
- Iphone 5 blocked? Keeps saying no serivce on 3 network, bought on gumtree? I recently bought iphone 5 off gumtree with 3 network its work fine for about 2 weeks and all of a sudden it came on no service, I've tried everything, airplane mode, resetting connections and I can't seem to find the seller anywhere I'm worried I wasted my money.
