Took a major L on craigslist today (no courtdog)

[Camammal]

was trying to cop a iPhone 5c for my girl on the low for sprint, found some nikka on there selling it for $275 (that should have been my first red flag). I meet up with dude, nikka looked like a straight bum (another red flag, don't buy phones from homely looking nikkas brehs) so he's like;

"No funny business, I'm am a licensed gun user" I'm like okay nikka where is the phone? Dude had the phone sealed somehow so I just gave him the money and dipped without checking the esn or imei. Get to the sprint store to activate the phone... cashier tells me the phone has been reported stolen. So I rush to call dude back and I notice the damn phone is in the case ringing .
That nikka got me good brehs....

The phone still under warranty so I'm trying to see if I can swap this joint at apple and turn this into a W....fml

Buy apple products brehs

 

[Master Teacher]

you should had the nikka meet you at the apple store

next time always get the esn number off the back. You can check it at the sprint website to see if its clean and courtdog still lost though

 

[FaTaL]

i dont understand why nikkas buy phones from places like craiglist, 99% of that shyt is stolen

Yeah i usually do but I didn't think this one out fully

My dude had it sealed up, I didn't even give it a 2nd thought. I'll take my L tho, I'll just use it as a iPod but ima try to get it swapped once I figure out how to convince them the phone "does not work".

This is actually the first phone I bought from Craigslist in years I'm usually the one selling them. But you right tho

 

[marcuz]

the iphone doesn't come in a sealed box though. i would have checked it before making that purchase

The 5c comes in a case like iPods, the tamper sticker was on it and everything. Even looked brand new when I took it out...not that it means anything tho. Gotta be extra careful coppin these CDMA phones, they're pretty much useless when they're blacklisted.

 

[HookersandIceCream]

I buy phones all the time
Never had a problem. Always call the company and check

 

[daze23]

hate it has to be you breh

but that story...

still burning my soul a little...not the fact that i lost $275 but how i got got by a bum.

 

[Hersh]

jailbreak and flash a new esn

 

[Raiders]

I used to sell stolen Iphones all the time on Craigslist, but they would still work since it was from a store and not a person, but anytime you are dealing with sprint or verizon, have them meet you at a sprint or verizon store, and if they cant then dont pay them until you get the phone activated on your account I thought this was common knowledge.

275 tho

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Sealed dont mean shyt. Nikkaz been running scams with sealed products for years. I always ask for a copy of the receipt or the original. I always meet in public and I have never taken an L in over a decade of buying/selling things online locally.

i think i am the only one selling legit iphones on there.

as a seller my only problem is meeting up with bums that want it then when you get there they ask how much and wanna lowballl you on the spot
