Nobody is going to offer you $150 MORE than what you are asking for something.  And if no one here can get into the phone then him selling it for $600 is scamming the person he is sending it to.  Because the person purchasing it will be assuming the phone is unlocked.  I would be pretty p*ssed if I bought an iphone from someone for the same price or more than I can just buy a new one for and then it is locked and I can't do anything with it.  He should have turned it in to the police.  I would never buy a used iphone anyway unless it was from a family member I knew I could trust.  Most people lie and sell crap that is not working correctly so they can buy a new one.  Then laugh at the sucker that bought it from them.

A few years ago a girl I worked with was laughing because she sold a little radio/tape player at a yard sale to a local well know guy who was re-tard-ed.  He tried it there and it didn't work.  She told him it just needed batteries.  She knew it did not work.  She took his $5 and laughed at him as he walked away.

And no the police don't give it back to you after a certain amount of time if it is not claimed.   It either sits on a shelf at the police station forever or one of them will keep it.
Wow, that is awful, to scam someone and laugh about it. Some people have no conscience. I agree that the phone should have been turned over to police. If it isn't unlocked, it's definitely a scam to sell it on ebay, when the buyer won't be able to use it. Especially for that much money. No wonder it attracted other scammers.

You could verify with paypal if you ever got the money before you ship i.
So true verify first before any shipment. I mean really how can you not verify things now days there is a sucker around every corner and sad to say the scammers are counting on that. I get 5 emails a day that say somebody want to give me millions lmao yeah right.
