Buying an iPhone 2nd hand?

[fletch8]

Looking at buying one second hand but as new boxed etc
I've looked on the likes of eBay etc and it's around a £50 saving so not massive.

My question is that if seller wanted to block the phone for whatever reason, once I'd bought it, could they do that?

Is there a way to prevent this too?

Cheers

Yes they could and no there isn't a way to prevent it.

But i dont see why they would?

Buy off of CS, off of a well known member. No problems then.

There's been that risk since phones have been sold really, iPhone or not!
