Nay, just because its an iphone

If the price was good and it has a clear ESN number sure

If you are going to buy a used iphone, have the seller meet you at an apple store so you can have them check that it is unlocked and in good working condition.

Lord oh Lord… I have heard some HORROR CL stories about cell phones. I would def meet at the apple store, to make sure it is all legit, and clean. If your going to pay that amount for one, you better make sure it is good and clean. There are so many people, purchasing broken ones on CL and claiming to "fix" them, to sell them for $$. Turns out they are still broken, shut down after a few hours, can't be activated, etc…
