I like the idea and might sell stuff, but am reluctant to buy used electronics except from known entities, particularly for items like cellphones.
Carrier and Apple blocks for stolen items can make your purchase worthless. I wish Apple could implement a "safe transfer" process for items, using your Apple ID, to verify the seller is legitimate and transfer title irrevocably to the buyer.
I met one of the Apple security guys at 30c3 and this kind of thing seems to fit with how they view customers , too.
Third party sale sites should be allowed to participate, especially as innovation like fobo wouldn't come freon a big company, but the transfer of "title" really needs to be solved by phone manufacturers and/or carriers.
