    I got my current iPhone 14 Pro a while ago on FB marketplace for a good deal off somebody who’s side gig was repairing old phones. There are good deals out there, but FB marketplace is overrun with these scammers and sus listings.

    If you have a UV light and this is an iPhone 15 series you can check the top right of the box for an invisible logo. There is another I forgot where.

    Also if the seals are ripped and missing it’s opened and I wouldn’t buy it.

    Always purchase from authentic store. The phone should be considered personal jewelry at this point, so don’t cheap out.

    The fact people are willing to give people $800+ to complete strangers for an item you have no financial protection for in case you get scammed or robbed is wild to me. I’d just either buy new or used from an actual retailer.

    Hell, even eBay has money back guarantees.

    Stolen or financed for sure. Been buying and selling iphones since 2006 with iphones and rule 1. Never buy iphone with pictures in some car on someones lap and i hate to say this i usually dont buy from black kids. Specially the ones with profile pic of them giving the finger or acting like wanna be thug or them smoking blunts with in groups lol it is what it is. Alot of them sell ^ icloud locked iphones ^ which means they literally go around stealing ppls iphones and selling for parts and description always same : ** i forgot my icloud but u can connect itunes and u good to go ** with horrible spelling btw. As far as this iphone for 800$. Yes it is 100% bad buy

    Thats a 1250$ iphone. I have the iphone 15 pro max too and for 800$ lol hell no. And hes showing u the IMEI number because it hasnt been reported stolen yet but check month later after purchasing. That will change.
