Buying from a private party

For the budget conscious, this is probably the best route to go. You can get a phone with the original manual and all the accessories included for a fairly good price. You can find them on nearly every Internet auction out there.

The standard procedure is that you have to send the money directly to the sending party and then they will send you the phone that you have purchased. They don’t know you and you don’t know them. Which brings us to another point.

You don’t know them. What is to say that the phone you are getting is really what you expected? Are you certain that the phone comes with a warranty? And if you were to take them to small claims court, how would you collect provided you won the case? Has the phone been blocked from being activated by a carrier?
