Hello Everyone,

So I want to buy a locked 16GB iPhone 3G. The price of an unlocked one here is like over $900, and I am not willing to spend all that for a phone you know. So I wanted to know if anyone has a locked one that can be legally shipped to Cairo, Egypt. I will pay the shipping expenses too. I am going to Manhattan very soon but if I buy it from BestBuy for instance, it's going to be cheap but in the same time I will be forced to do a contract with AT&T, and I can not do that since I am not a USA citizen or even live there. I am also looking for a safe, legal way to do the transaction so I wouldn't pay the money for nothing
(Scam equals Refund; that simple), thank you very much.

I do have friends in Canada as well as the USA that are citizens, however, I don't want them to face any legal issues because of me or something. That's why I wanted to buy one that a person already purchased and is willing to sell for a reasonable price. I am willing to spend 400 bucks if shipped/handled within Manhattan, New York. Or probably 300 bucks excluding shipping expenses if shipped to Cairo, Egypt. I know several unlocking methods, or at least know people who can easily do it for me, that's why I am looking for a locked one that's not really expensive.

Thank you very much.

Oops, I forgot to write, I want a black one. 8GB or 16GB, doesn't really matter. 16GB would be preferable though :p.

The problem is that I don't really trust sellers on eBay at any case. It'll be like throwing my money from a bridge.

8Gbs are going for $450-$500 on ebay. I just sold a 8GB 3G last week for $460.00 I don't have any 3Gs now.
