One of my employees wants to buy my iPhone, to be honest I found the phone about a year ago, kept it for almost a month and when no one even asked about losing theirs I decided to use it as my own, They offered me $100 for it, but then I looked on craigslist and ebay and the phone was going for $250-$400. It's a 3gs 32gb. Still has the screen protector on it and somehow I've never dropped it (few scuffs on the Apply logo on the back, other than that, it looks perfect). I don't use a phone for anything more than calling, texting or using the calculator/calendar. I think using the internet on your phone is a waste and in my situation not even needed. So if anyone has a reasonable offer I'll part with my phone, I don't use it for its intended purpose, especially considering it's a 32gb and I would never use more than 5gb no matter what I did.
wait a minute, so you found a phone, made no effort to go through its contacts list and/or email etc. in order to return it to its rightful owner, and after a month of letting it sit there you use it as your own?
I don't feel I should lie about the phone, which is why I go into a little story about it. I could easily have said it's my phone, but I got a new one so I'm selling this. Same story you hear from everyone selling almost anything online, you'd be pretty naive to believe that every time. Phone has been in my possession for over 8 months, it was sitting around at the place I found it for over a month before I went back and I was able to pick it up. So no, I don't feel anything morally was done wrong, if the owner came back to where they found it, they could easily have got it and proved it was theirs by putting in the code to unlock it. Apparently that didn't happen.
Giddyup faints. The "I could have been cooler about trying to return this phone, but hey, you wanna buy it from me?" tactic is probably not the best. I'm guessing you're not in sales.
Obviously reading simple english is beyond you. Please just move on to another post with people of your lower intelligence.
You might want to try a remedial reading class in English before posting again on a public forum showing a few hundred people you lack the ability to read.
And to avoid the obligatory 'huh? what are you talking about, I can read like real good' response. Just try reading the posts on this thread, I promise it's not hard, it's only one pages worth.
You expect to sell an iPhone after you state that you don't really own it and then resort to troll-ish personal attacks on people that call you out on it? The rightful thing to do would have been to go through the recent calls/messages and try to find the owner, though that opportunity is obviously long gone.
Wow, I guess the only response to that is to go back and read the whopping 10 messages already on that post, which answers your question.
Well, there goes two smartphone threads that got ruined lol. The Blackberry thread is hilarious. "Cricket master" lmao
I honestly thought an overwhelming amount of people on this site can read and comprehend the simplest of english. Sadly that seems to not be the case, which does't bode well for a lot of you. Let's just go ahead and delete this post MOD, I don't feel like having to tell grown men to learn how to read all day. Sadly most can't argue and say they can because if that was the case, the last three postings in regards to what they think I should do with the phone wouldn't have even been made. This is terribly sad.
It's real sad, I had to state twice that the phone was found, left where it was for over a month, and still wasn't found by whoever lost it. Then I had to state that iphones have this crazy ability to be locked. Yet all of these responses are telling me to go through the phones contacts. It's breathtaking reading some of these people's posts. I'm not even looking for $300, hell even $200 for the phone like EVERY person is looking for. Yet these girls are getting their panties in a knot.
I think he's trying to claim it was locked with a passcode. Although he didn't state that upfront, nor even very clearly on the backend. It still doesn't seem like he went to a lot of effort to find the original owner. There are ways around the passcode, or you could try taking it to the Apple store, where they could contact the original owner using the serial number which is registered to the owner. OR you could pop the Sim card out, search it to find contacts, phone numbers, etc and reunite the phone with it's owner. Sorry, but I don't buy the "I waited around and they never came to claim it" deal. Chances of someone tracking down a lost phone without a monitoring service are slim to none. You could have done more to help this person, but you didn't, now you're trying to profit off of it. Yes, you're being honest, but the circumstances are somewhat off-putting, and you're also being an enormous tool.
also, which cricket store do you work at. I found a Sprint phone that I want to get flashed to cricket so I can sell it on clutchfans.
