So i still had my TP active and his phone.
Anyway, the sprint rep said he would have to be on the line with both of us to transfer liability and agree that the phone wasn't stolen and surely enough after the last bill date, the phone was free for activation.
by the way, if you're using craigslist, make it a meet up with cash. never do the shipping thing because that's the part where you have no coverage. with ebay & paypal you have proof of purchase and basically the buyer can ALWAYS get their money back with the right tools

Also lil_bitz if you run into with something like the account will be deactivated in a month , have them transfer there line to a different phone before the transaction.The unit becomes free to activate. I had a similar scenario I gave the seller a cheap phone and we transferred and activated the unit he was selling me on the spot.
