There are a lot of phones for sale in the classified that are "unwanted" upgrades and there some very tempting offers. Quite tempted to make an offer on a couple of phones currently for sale but just want to know what the legal situation is ie if these are theoretically the phones on contract and someone purchased one what is stop the seller besides negative iTrader on here doing an "insurance job" and reporting it lost/stolen and your new phone then gets barred? Can the ownership of the phone but not the contract be transferred or is this a risk you have to take purchasing a phone within contract?

Also would a reciept of purchase stand up in a court of law if the above scenario took place?

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place or answered I did try the search feature first)
