I bought a white iPhone 3gs 16gb from a guy on t'bay (good feedback, great communications) who works for o2 retail. This is a private sale and nothing to do with o2 itself.
It was £275 for a 2 week old replacement from Apple, locked to o2 with a griffin car window holder and case (It's got a mirrored screen protector on at the moment which I'd remove to check the screen). Immaculate condition with no scratches.
Was going to pick it up tomorrow morning with cash but get a lengthy email apologising saying he managed to knock it off his desk today at work and now it has a "very slight surface scratch " above the mute button. He says everything else is unmarked though and would knock an extra £15 off the price. It's now £260 and I asked for a few photographs.
These photos came via email and the damage is shown. It's a bit of a journey to pick it up tomorrow but could do with an iPhone again but am really stumped whether to go for it or not now. Would apple still honour warranty on these marks if there were any problems? The scratches look more like a drop to me now... I'm unsure, it seems a good price but after staring at the pics for about half an hour it's not helping me make a decision.
Help appreciated!
