Guide to buying an iPhone 4 on Craigslist?

I found an iPhone 4 on Craigslist and it's very close to me and AT&T which is very hard to find, usually they run 200+. This person isn't fake just by my general obvs. And talking to them. They want 160. I want to go look at it because it won't be a big hassle on my part but, just wondering what should I look out for? I've heard a lot of talk about "ESN" and don't know what that is or how to look at it. Please give me any advice you can, thanks!

Just tell them to meet you at your local AT&T store so you can get the account transferred over to your name
The biggest scam is where you buy the phone, then the seller reports it stolen. Your phone gets shut off and won't work, and their insurance buys them a new phone
But if you go to the store with them and you both have ID then there's no way to report the phone stolen after you buy it as the store will be the witness that the account was transferred to you

Best if you leave it there
The IP4 is months away from being discontinued on release of the IP5S.

Apple only support LAST 3 iPhones, discontinued means no longer sold by Apple, any future upgrades are for supported phones some new apps just WON'T WORK

On 12/09/2012 IP5 announced IP 3GS DROPPED, like the year before IP4S IN, IP3G OUT. No maths IP5S IN…

It may be the cheapest when compared to other iPhones but to invest any money in an OVERPRICED device is a waste as in 2 years you will be using a 5 year old device that came out in 2010. Many many have already upgraded from the IP4 in 2012

There are newer phones better phones and they cost a lot less and HAVE A WARRANTY, giving you more than the restrictive 8Gb on the IP4,
You should look at eg Sam Gal ACE II or the Lumia 620 for phone with a secondary camera microSD expansion Wi-Fi, GPS, DUAL CORE… AND/ &/ PLUS/ + BLUETOOTH MEDIA TRANSFER (Sharing) which no iPhone even the IP5 has.
Here are the specs only if these phones are Gold Plated will it come in above the IP4
