Not everyone keeps them or fails to not misplace them, but a deal doesn't smell as good as "with original box"

The Apple Trade in is currently just over $200.

I wouldn't buy one for $100. If not encumbered with carrier or 'ownership' problems, if it's an honest price, it's probably beat up.

Ya think they might be stolen? And if iCloud-locked, useless?
There used to be a link on apple's icloud web site to check.

There are a number of 3rd party web sites that claim to check for _carrier_ lock, I don't think those help with stolen, but could provide other useful information, YMMV.

If you ask the seller for the IMEI so you can do a 'stolen' scan, and the seller provides it, it suggests something different than if you never hear from them again.

Are folks really that gullible?
You have to ask that?
