Cragslist iPhone sale?

So I sold a iPhone 8 on cl for 350. Date 9-8. Now the guy texts me and he's like karma is a ***** and **** you. The phone is broken. He's had it for almost 3 weeks. I feel like that's not really fair to me. He inspected it before he bought it fully and made a phone call. He said it has static. I test all my phone before I sell them as I sell many, I flip from eBay to cragslist.

Honestly, the buyer is dumber than a slack jawed yokel

Not your fault he broke it. He's had it for three weeks. Time to move on. If he starts harassing you or threatening you, take it to the police. Show any paperwork when you completed and finalized the sale. Change your cell number.

No way, you just tell him what happens after you sold it is not your issue. All sales final, its that simple, no more explanation needed.

I actually wouldnt even reply to him, just ignore and move on. Replying just creates more replies.

If you sold it to him "as-is",
which I HOPE you did.
it's not your problem.
That said, I wouldn't be caught dead "flipping" phones.
Too much chance of exactly the problem you're asking about!

Hopefully when you sell phones you state that there are As-is, and take a screen shot of the about phone menu that shows the phones IMEI or ESN. I tell people I sell second electronics to, that all I warrant, is the device works when I hand it to you. What happens days, weeks or a month later, is out of my control, and if there are issues to take it up with the manufacturer or original carrier.

Not that you will be giving a refund, but ask him what the IMEI / ESN is. If it's different, tell him the phone he is reading it off of, it's not the phone you sold him.

As is holmes… As IS…

He's probably ripping you off. You should state as is

Block his number and if he tries contacting you another tell him you will report him for harassment. Your not a store and the phone isn't under a warranty with you
