I'm looking at picking up a used iphone off craigslist. for those that are experienced in these things, are there any things I should be looking for in particular to make sure that I'm not getting scammed?

Any particularly fragile parts that might be broken, but that I could check for? Anything like that?

Thanks,
Mark

The only fragile hardware parts that I have seen is the vibrate switch. I know a few friends that have to toggle that switch a few times to get it into vibrate mode.

Other than that, the obvious would be a craxked screen, a broken headphone jack or a jammed Dock connecter.
