As someone with some first-hand knowledge of iPhones, make sure that these iPhones are not stolen when you're buying them. I am not saying OP is trying to sell stolen phones, but if he is (or anyone, for that matter), then it is possible that it is iCloud-locked or activation locked. The first layer of security prevents using iPhones that are linked to an iCloud account with Find My iPhone enabled. Even restoring does not work for these. Furthermore, it is also possible that the phone could have been stolen without a linked iCloud account but reported as stolen to Apple and the carriers. This would result in the IMEI of the stolen device being stored in a stolen devices database that prevents the activation of the phone until the issue is resolved. You should ask for the IMEIs before finalizing the purchase and confirm with Apple that they are not stolen.
