The same reason that there is still a PC repair industry. People are either too stupid, or too lazy, to learn to do it themselves.

I just sold two TPs on eBay and both buys wanted me to confirm the phone was unlocked. Seems odd, if the understood "unlocked" then you would think they would understand they could do it themselves.

they can as long as they have access to the account . . with vzw u can even change esns online

i would say (too late though since you posted already) put it to stock, and post all the stock apps, and functions. people see unlocked and think it means they can take to any carrier and that is all it means. I have been on ebay last few days watching items trying to catch the cheapest possible. I for one don't care weather it has 6.1 or 6.5 or what features it has. As long as it is a sprint version and not the memory handicapped Verizon one since I will unlock and flash myself anyway. My screen dances, even checking the ones listed as broken, for flashing or parts only, bad esn since once it hits cricket, it's done labeled with a bad esn. You can't always assume what the buyer wants, or what they plan to do with it.
