Guys I found a mint condition IPhone X while dumpster digging.
It came on iOS 12 too? Idk
—
In all seriousness, getting my X for 549 on a two year was a steal to me!
And don’t have to look over my back or fear of it becoming a bad IMEI either lol

I am with you on ebay. I am a member since 1999 and used ebay for buying but mostly for supporting my hardware upgrade habit over the last 18 years. Until the last few years. iPhone sales gone bad, buyers not paying, fraudulent craigs list type asks, offers to pay above asking, etc. The real kicker is that ebay does NOTHING to support the seller. Zero.
I used swappa to sell my 7 after I received my X. A good experience. Check it out.
Craigslist is the best (depending on local market) . Meet in a public spot, cash, and done. No shipping no waiting no fees. Nada
Works well for me cause I restore on the spot and not til then (don’t wanna burn a jailbreak for someone who’s a flake and doesn’t show up or wants to lowball last minute)
Yeah, but lots of emails from people asking to offer to send you a fraudulent check for over asking.
Craiglist is still a good place to sell iPhones. I sold my IPhone 7 Plus a few months back for $630, I then sold my moms and stepdads IPhone 6 and 5s for $165 and $90 respectfully all sold within a day. This does make me think the OP must live in a rural area for the seller to get desperate. I live in LOS ANGELES and never had a problem selling an IPhone quickly. The tactic I use is to be insanely honest, to the point I’ll even tell them my phone still has a balance and to meet me at the T-Mobile store where they will pay off the balance and can verify that it is paid off. But yeah I would never buy any phone on craigslist for more than $200 and that would only be to use as a spare phone.
Lol. Didn’t know if you swapped the phone it would still be tied to the same account. But now that I think about it I guess it’s true. I can’t imagine apple telling someone with a swapped phone to call their carrier and tell them it was swapped. I would imagine that would all happed on it’s on. So I guess you will wont be safe for a long time with this phone. Good luck bro.

No reply is the best reply, in those cases
And those scams are incredibly easy to sniff out
“I’ll give you $100 more for inconvenience to ship” oh ok!
When I receive those texts or emails, I think to myself who the hell falls for this. Because clearly someone is for them to keep doing it. It makes me think of that classic American Pie scene when Jim walks in a sees the warm pie and is like should I I do this. Lol. I imagine the people scammed have the same look on their face right before they say, “sure I’ll ship it to that small country in Africa for twice the money, what could go wrong”.
Lol no. 1000 for a phone ?

I live in the IE. seen iPhones x selling for 500 the other day

Went back to my 8 plus
To each his own. I fully understand the ways of a scammer. For some (me) it’s just not with the extra $40 bucks to be bombarded with crap. I got $550 for my 7 on swappa, have them $20 and PayPal $15 (I think). Smooth and easy.
probably one of those phones stolen from the fedex truck in san fran. Either way, the comments from people on here are too funny.

how much did it cost you to ship out the phone? what service did you use? I thought about selling on there, but I was able to sell it from Offer Up instead

In the past couple of years, I only used eBay once, to help a friend sell his Nintendo Switch. After completing the sale, the eBay and PayPal fees came out to over 20% of the sale price. This, along with everything listed in your post, is why I'm done with eBay. Swappa is definitely the way to go, if you don't mind being bombarded by lowballers.
How many X's were stolen off a truck right before launch? Sounds this might be one of them.
More than 300 iPhone X's were stolen of a UPS truck valued over $300,000.
