Can I buy an iPhone without a SIM card?

I'm buying an iPhone 4s from Craigslist. It is supposedly in good working condition, but has no SIM card. Is this a scam, or is it simple enough (and cheap) to get a new SIM card? Would I be able to do this at a Verizon store? I leave for vacation on Sunday and would like to have it working by then.

Is everything erased on my iPhone?

I'm selling my old iPhone 4s on ebay and am wondering if everything is truly erased. The phone currently sits at the initial screen where it says Hello in many languages and takes you through the set up process. I'm unable to check if it is actually erased because I do not have a sim card to install into it to check. So is everything erased on it?

What apple devises should some one need?

I'm looking at having a iMac, Macbook, ipod, and iphone. But i don't have to have it all.
I'm student at a boarding school how likes to blog, take a lot of photos and I do make videos sometimes. As well I would like to do most of my work in my room but as well I need something to do my work out side my room when i meet with the other younger students. As well I spend most of my time studding. I want to have an Ipod that just plays music so that it helps me be less descanted. But as well I like to type my notes most of the time.
but in all if you don't see the pint in me having all that stuff that is okay.
It is okay if you need to ask my a question so that you can decide what I need.

How to deal with snobby relatives I can't avoid?

My aunts and their children always look down on my family because my mom doesn't have the money to be spoiling me and my 2 other sisters, and I don't expect her to. They're always talking about which new iphone they have, what car they just bought for their children, and what vacations they're going to go on.

What really bothers me is that my mom doesn't think anything of it and tells me to shrug it off because "they're family"

I've gotten to a point where I try to avoid every family gathering because I can't stand them and their children bragging about what they got or talking about other people and what they don't have. The problem is my mom doesn't get it and she gets mad at ME when I try to avoid them. How do I deal with these snobby people without making my mom angry?
