can you expand on the hassle/risk? especially the risk part.

  Buyer claims they never received the item/item wasn't as described/etc. There's a chargeback. Plenty of horror stories on eBay. Not to say don't do it but there's a lot to be said for taking the easy path from my perspective. (And electronics probably have more of this type of thing than many other categories.)

    oh right, though that can happen with anything on ebay. i thought you were thinking of something specific to phones, like reading /cloning the memory/disk of the phone or something along those lines.

      To add, unless there's proof (and sometimes even when there is proof) a buyer can just tell eBay/craigslist/etc that the phone didn't have Find My iPhone turned off (which would mean they can't use the phone) and get a refund that way without even needing to chargeback ebay.

  You've got to put the listing up on ebay or gumtree or whatever, and then handle actual shipping it, and then deal with disputes. Or just give it to a trade in site and be done with it.
