What to do with a blacklisted note 7?

[AC Question]

I recently bought a Galaxy note 7 second hand from someone off of craigslist, and when i went to use it, it wouldn't work. I them checked it on swappa and found out that it has been blacklisted. What can i do with this phone now? Am I just stuck with an expensive paperweight?

Uh yes you are. It's been widely publicized that the Note 7s are being recalled, so not sure why you even thought of getting one. But basically just return it to carrier and chalk it up to experience.
