A great price doesn't mean a safe deal

$180
U.S. private-party comparison context for this configuration: $280–$365. On price alone, this looks like a great deal.
Avoid:
But GadgetGauge still says AVOID
The seller says Activation Lock will not be removed. A great price never overrides that risk — the phone could be unusable to you after purchase, no matter how low the asking price is.
What GadgetGauge checks
- Asking price against U.S. private-party comparison context
- Exact model, storage, network, and cosmetic condition
- Battery health and reported functional issues
- The seller's Activation Lock claim and erase-and-activate cooperation
- Parts and Service History evidence the seller provides
- Seller-cooperation signals like screenshots and prepayment demands
What it can't verify
- That the phone isn't stolen or that the seller owns it
- That a screenshot is current or belongs to this phone
- Hidden or internal damage
- That replacement parts are genuine
- The seller's identity or that the meeting will be safe
- That the purchase will go well
