@urchyberry said:

iPhone are traceable, whether off or on. If the person knows what to do, he can get it back. Whoever is buying that phone is buying problem. You didn't read "off or on". It is still traceable. Even we that buy it in the market, if you don't come with receipt, know the history of the phone or know you in person, we won't buy. Just get the IMEI and give to the tracer. Hopefully they will be reasonable with the chargers."
