I did the exact same thing - bought a used one for the same price, skipping the Sprint upgrade + contract extension. I'm pretty sure the phone is legit -it was activated and used - and the phone is nearly flawless.

Yes, I'm guessing the price of used, legit phones was depressed due to the number of scammers out there sellling brand new units.
