Cell Phones

Cell phones are the in thing. Everyone wants the newest cell phone to stay technologically up to date and fashionable. However, the newest cell phones are not cheap and to keep up people including my self try to find “bargains”.Just look at the price of the brand new I phone it was $500 last summer when it first came out and this is where I made my bad decision.

When the I phone came out last summer everyone wanted one. Thehigh definition features and the touchscreen made it irresistible to young and old alike. However, like many other people regardless of one’s financial situation the $500 price tag was a little too much for a phone. So what do people do when they don’t want to pay full price for an item they look for bargains.

Looking back on the situation I probably should have done some research and looked at Apple’s policy for activation and terms of use for an I phone but I didn’t and was ready to take the best deal I could find. I searched various resources such as pawn shops and classifieds but found the best deal on ebay. For $300 I could buy an Iphone in like new condition.

I thought this was a great deal until I tried to activate the cell phone. The problem was you can’t activate a stolen cell phone. Luckily, I was able to contact the seller and I was able to reurn to the phone for a refund.

Personally, I don’t know wether to call this particular ebay seller a thief or not because although the cell phone was stolen he allowed me to return it .However there is a different way that I could have approached this situation and made it better
