The beauty of craigslist is that you can actually come over and check the physical product for defects, given that the owner lets[and if he doesn't, the product is probably messed up anyway].
true. but i have had some bad experiences with Craigslist. I once got an ipod touch from craigslist. i looked at it and all amd thought it was ok. then when i got home, i found out that i couldnt use wifi on it. soo i was screwed over.
even if i do look at the phone, i wont thats it defective unless i use it every day for like a few days. and if i do look at the phone, i dont know what to look for to see if there are defects on it. i never had an impression before.
