There are several questions you must answer before you buy a used iPhone. The first, is how much should I pay for a used iPhone? There is no better reference for how much you should pay for your used iPhone than ebay’s completed item section, located on the left hand side of their page. You can sort, used iPhone prices, from lowest to highest.
The first question to ask the seller is…Does the used iPhone have any kind of water damage? The iPhone has a moisture detector. This moisture indicator was put in place to keep people honest. One of the number one reasons cell phones get damaged is water damage, and the manufactures know this! This can be checked by having the seller look under the battery. There should be a small white dot that can be seen. If the dot is red, tampered with or missing, don’t purchase the used iPhone. If the dot is any other color than white, the seller has selectively forgotten that their used iPhone decided to take a swim. Other important questions to ask the seller are....Why is he or she selling their iPhone? Does the used iPhone have any scratches, damage or has the iPhone ever been dropped? Inquire if the used iPhone is still under warrantee and if so, for how much longer.

You would think the price you pay for your used iPhone would be the most important factor, but it’s NOT! The most important thing to watch for when you buy an iPhone, is that your used iPhone has a clear ESN (electronic serial number) and that it hasn’t been reported stolen or put on a blacklist, not to be confused with blacklisting or blacklisted a feature used to block unwanted cell phone calls. If the used iPhone is on the blacklist, you won’t be able to activate it.

Make sure to ask if the used iPhone is locked or unlocked. If you want to buy a used iPhone on ebay, it’s important to know whether or not it’s locked or unlocked. Before placing a bid, ask the seller if it’s a locked or unlocked iPhone. If the seller says "Unlocked," that means the iPhone can be used on any GSM network. If you ask the seller and he says "Locked," that means the used iPhone can only be used with that particular carrier, or network that the seller mentions.

Last, try to arrange some type of return policy, in the event you get the used iPhone and it’s defective or is not as described, and of course only purchase your used iPhone from a seller that has at least a 3 or better feedback rating.

We hope this information has been helpful.
