Can I get in trouble (Craigslist)?

I traded this guy my iPod and some cash for an iPhone today.

He was fine with it but then brought it home and said the home button wasn't functioning properly and "he believes he would like to trade back because me not telling him about the home button".

I don't wanna trade. I won't. It was working fine with me. He lives about an hour away buy drove here. He doesn't know my address but he does know my email and school.

What is the worst he can do? Don't tell me to trade back because I'm not. I have him 45 bucks more than I was supposed to. He could get it replaced for 10 bucks.

Craigslist has no built-in protections for buyer or seller like eBay. Unless a promise of guarantee was made in the listing, used electronics sell as-is all sales final, no guarantee. He has no way of proving he didn't break it. This is why you should inspect items carefully before purchase on craigslist and for phones you should meet at the retail store for the wireless provider to have the phone checked and make sure the ESN is good. Since he was able to have it in his hands before purchase, he should have checked the home button himself. The worst that could happen? He might send you a couple dozen nasty emails.

  • If I buy an iPhone off of craigslist can I get a nano-sim at walmart? Being the impatient college student that I'm, I'm trying to buy an iPhone 5s off of craigslist. Naturally, the Tmobile store is closed; can I get the correct nano-sim from walmart to activate it? I'm currently under contract at Tmobile so I'm not sure if they'd have to do it there or not.

  • How much trouble can i get in for having this felony charge? The other day a iphone was stolen in class and i happened to be blamed for it. A girl said i threatened to shoot or kill her if i snitched which never happened at all and i'm angry because my school arrested me with no proof of me having any phone and suspended me for 5 days because the girl is pressing charges. I might even get expelled because of this and goto LP or juvy. I live in LBC, any advice for me?
