To the both of you: It's 100% brand new, unactivated with Sprint, just as if you spent $550 on the net for the phone itself. I literally opened it up, fully charged it, fully discharged it, fully charged it, rooted it, and here we are. Nothing is wrong with it.
My friend owns a communications company, and has rooms and rooms of new phones. He asked me if I wanted a Nexus S, to which I said sure, and he hands me one new in box and tells me to send him the bill, jokingly. So, I got the phone for free. I was going to 100% keep it (this phone is amazing), but my new roomie is going to add me to his family plan with AT&T. I wouldn't want to have the phone going without using it's 4G features.
I'll turn the device on and take what pictures I can using it's cameras for you two.
As for the price, I decided on it because of the following:
I got it for free
I've 'laid hands' on the device.

used either cam to take pics of both sides of the device (The shot of the back is obscured by debris on my bathroom mirror; the phone is flawless.):
