I will have you know, I will not be liable for any damage or warranty issues if you do decide to buy these phones. Why would you buy an iphone for 290kd when I'm selling them for 275kd? Seriously, you guys cant wait 4 days? So I just discovered people are buying their iphones off me and re-selling them on Mark’s forum.
