First-Gen iPhone 8GB

btr94 · 06-09-2009, 09:52 PM

I just went ahead and took the jump and bought myself an iPhone 3GS (the 32GB white one!). In preparing for that one, I have discovered I have no need for my original iPhone or all the accessories.

The phone has stayed in the case for its entire life and is relatively new (replaced on AppleCare three months ago). I'm looking to sell it to someone for $340 unlocked with all original accessories in original box (NEW headset, dock, charging cable, power brick, box) along with two cases (iSkin Revo Red and Griffin iClear Polycarbonate) and an armband. The Griffin case is somewhat scratched up, but the phone can be dropped on a significantly hard surface in it without damage.

I have it up on eBay for anyone to look at the pics, but feel free to PM me and make me an offer. I can provide more pictures upon request (and if you decide to buy the phone, I will definitely send a picture with my name, etc. to verify I'm not some scammer - I just had to deal with that this morning on eBay with a guy from "Nigeria in China")

The phone has almost no scratches (only one small dot on the back, the screen and front of phone is in perfect condition).

I'll send it locked or another way on 2.2.1. Up to you, just let me know.

If you want the link to the auction (since board rules say I can't post it here), message me.

I listed on Craigslist and within one hour got a guy who wanted it for $150 and another guy in Nigeria. Think I should just list it in Orlando?

Oooh this is interesting...how does Craigslist work as far as setting up payment and stuff? Making sure it is legitimate and not giving someone your personal info. without getting screwed?

I'd love to get rid of my phone quick like that.

It doesn't - that's what makes it so interesting. You have to set everything up yourself. So, simply set it up like so:

1. Require shipping.
2. Require PayPal (protected) payment.
3. Never give any personal info other than your email.

OK cool. So the buyer also has to trust you that you will send them what they buy. I guess as long as I have the money in PayPal, I'd feel fine about it. Please check the OTHER thread I created and suggest what I should sell for?
