How to transfer ownership when purchasing used iPhone 6?

So I have been looking at iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones on eBay. I wanted to buy a broken one and repair it but I see a lot of phones for sale with bade ESN/IEMI/locked iClouds. ASSUMING All THESE THINGS ARE GOOD, what is necessary to "transfer ownership" from the previous owner to me so that the iCloud isn't locked? They won't be able to use it until I repair it. Am I going to need their Apple ID and password? I'm an Android guy so I'm not very familiar with Apple.

Bad ESN/IEMI/locked iClouds basically means the phones are useless because they have been reported as lost or stolen. You can't transfer ownership nor unlock the iCloud.

  • Who is looking forward of to purchasing the iPhone 5s? I will be purchasing my iPhone in March. If you haven't already, when will you be purchasing the iPhone 5s?
  • Who has ownership of the iPhone? If Lucy bought an iPhone 5S for her AT&T account and also bought with AppleCare+ but Tony (user of the iPhone 5S) has put the warranty under his Apple ID account. So who has ownership of the iPhone 5S? Tony is the person of usage of the line and phone under AT&T. If Lucy had gave the phone as a Christmas gift to tony, would it be his?
  • Trouble purchasing apps on iPhone 4s? I recently got an iPhone 4s. Every time I try to buy an app or a song it tells me I need to sign in first. So I put in my password, then it tells me I need to update my payment method. It gives me a list over credit cards to choose from to pay with. How do I pay with the money I have on iTunes?
  • Queston about purchasing an iphone 5c? I have a Samsung galaxy s2 and want to upgrade to an iphone. However my plan is not up yet so I know I would be paying quite a lot of money. Anyway, I have unlimited texts and internet, would that change by buying a new phone or not?
