That sounds like a pain to me. Making sure ESN is clean, phone works, etc. Personally, $7 isn't a lot to pay (especially with my cheap SERO plan), and it lets me hop online any time I want and order a new phone, it shows up the next day, then I can set it up and activate it and send the old one back. Easier than looking on ebay for a deal, checking ESN, paying, waiting for shipping, dealing with it if it's screwed up in any way, etc.

The deductible is for the insurance, which is only $3 or $4 of that $7. Insurance (asurion) itself covers the loss of phone, water damage, etc where you pay the deductable.
Broken screen/random problems/whatever go under the other fee in that $7, which carries no deductable. Basically, if the phone can be refurbished, you don't pay deductable.
