The 8 hour iPhone 4S (almost)

[Doit2it]

Even though I'm definitely an Android fanboy I try not to be an Apple basher. But I'm sure you can find a couple of my posts that straddle the thin line between advice and preaching when it comes to Apple products.

That being said, I just saw this Craigslist post that warmed my heart. Poor guy didn't last 8 hours with his new iPhone:

bought today at 2pm
thought I would get an iphone to see what all the excitement was about this phone.........not for me, going back to Android!!!

as I said, it is brand new
comes with everythng you get from the store
16gb - black

I will take a new Droid Razr plus cash or will sell outright
I do not want any other phones, no car audio systems etc...

will take $700 cash

So if you want, send him an email welcoming him back to the Android army.

Can he not return it to whoever bought it? Assuming it was from a store... brand new.

He can return it...

Or he's trying to gun for the money.

If he bought it on contract, it cost him $200. If he can sell it for $700 (I'm skeptical about that, but you never know), he then can buy a new Android device (on a contract) for approximately $200 while making a $300 profit.

Or he bought it off contract and is just trying to recoup the money. I just doubt anyone is going to pay full retail for a used phone. Might as well get it from the store at that point. But, even then, he can trade it back.

Or...

I could just be that he has to get rid of it because of his dog.

Yea but if you end a contract early don't you have to pay a huge sum?

That's great!

Yeah, it looks like he's trying to bilk someone for profit. I don't know the circumstances, I only read the ad. It's been removed as of this post, but I did see 2 iPhones for Sprint for $850 and $1000. I hope people aren't paying that much for phones. I understand staying off contract, but that's ridiculous.
