Damn those pictures are bad. If they can’t get you better pictures than that I’d be suspicious. Looks like a flip phone. I can’t tell anything without better photos.

Need better pics + the lugs seem pretty polished in that last 2x2 pic.

Still baffles me in this day how people take such bad quality pics, kind of a worry when they’re selling an expensive item too.

With pictures like that, I wouldn’t meet anywhere but your closest police station. Come an hour early. Bring donuts for the shift commander. A carton of coffee, too...

At least you’ll build positive relations with the team there while waiting for the seller. Who I surmise will call you saying he ran late and can you please just come to the QuikTrip...

Nelson, be safe not sorry.

Try to get a meetup at a service center where it can FIRST be evaluated to be genuine before going any further with a purchase.

There are SOooo many really good fakes out there.

To many things could be/go wrong. Buy from tursted seller on this forum. If more expensive, look at is insurance.

I’ve owned several Exp I and can’t tell from those pics. Just wait til one comes up here (ie, about 1-2 weeks) from a great seller, and buy it. No Police station, no fuss no muss, no lost money, no tears
