[QUOTE="placebooooo, post: 7720100, member: 333098"] Hi all, After browsing the iphone app letgo for some time now, I found a seller who lives in DC (I live in Philadelphia) that accepted to sell me an Iphone 8 256gb unlocked for $380 (listing price was $450). This sounds way too good to be true. I checked the IMEI number, and it checked out (no blacklist, no icloud lock, and find my iphone is turned off). The phone is completely brand new (sealed). He said that he got the phone as a gift but already has one. I asked why his location says philadelphia. He said he was there for a conference a few days ago but lives in DC. he said he would be willing to go through paypal. I said okay. I asked him if he could list the item through ebay and I'll purchase it from there. But he said he doesn't want to do that (i know there are ebay fees and what not, but I am positive he can still make more money from ebay since its a brand new phone). He said he will ship through paypal which has the option for a refund in case I want my money back. It's just, I never did paypal transactions outside of ebay before. So I'm skeptical. Thoughts? Think I should go through with this? Is there anything else I can check the phone for to make sure nothing is truly wrong with it? Edit: 12/2/2017 Decided not to go through it. Offered him to buy it through eBay and pay the extra fees. He never responded. Need to remind myself: if something sounds too good to be true, it's a scam. [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
