Re: Is $200 a good price for a used AT&T Locked S5?
Buying from craigslist is NOT the safest way, Ebay and purchasing through paypal is.
You can get mugged for your money just going to meet the person.
Unless they actually meet you first time at the store location but even that's a BIG if they meet you.
You could just be wasting your time with craiglisters.
Ebay and Amazon all they way, plus you are protected by your debit or bank card either way.
To the OP you posted in the title that it was an S4 and then in a posted that it was a s5 but either way.
$200 for the S5 is good but the S4 should be around $100-150 tops.
Wow, there is no way you can find an S4 for $100-$150 tops and in good condition. I've been looking, no way, especially from sellers you mentioned since there are fees involved. If you find one on ebay or amazon, please let me know...... If you said S3, MAYBE, but S4 market is now at $175 to $225 depending on condition and I believe that's a fair price.
The reason CL is attractive, there are no fees, and of course no guarantee either, that's why prices are low and it's all cash.
I think CL is pretty safe depending on where you live and do the transaction but with anything over $100 you run the risk of being mugged, yes that is very real.
