Can you trust the seller? If there is a problem can you return it? If yes to these then I would buy it, otherwise no.

I bought my i9900 from a guy on Craigslist for $150.00
It was in mint condition and came with everything.
And it wasn't stolen!
He just didn't need it anymore.

[Groan] the old pigment vs. dye debate!

Send the photo out for printing if you want anything bigger than 5x7...Costco has really affordable prints, in lieu of investing in the printer and paper and ink to make an 8x10 !
