Buying Iphone from Craigslist?
If I buy a new Iphone ( from Craigslist) still seal in the box, no activation yet. Can the seller still claim it lost, get the replacement and deactive the iphone I bought from him?
As long as the phone is not activated, it can't be reported lost / stolen.
Yup. And they can also sell you a box with a brick in it, with shrink wrap. So here is how I deal with "NIB" items I'm going to buy…
THEY open the box in front of me, and the Serial Number and or IMEI on the box MUST match the one on the inside or outside of the phone. And the phone must power up.
If the phone does not power up, I don't buy it. Serial # or IMEI does not match paperwork, I don't buy it.
