BIG difference between buying a Iden(Nextel) phone, GSM(ATT) and CDMA(Verizon phone. With Iden ot GSM even if the phone is reported stolen it can used by simply switching your active SIM into the phone, stolen or not it will work. with CDMA(VZW) Once its reported lost/stolen, you're DONE. Make sure you get them to send you the MEID/ESN and call Verizon and make sure the ESN/MEID is clear, If they won't give it to you, it is stolen.Also make sure you get a DATED BILL OF SALE just in case they then do an insurance claim after they ship it to you or report it stoeln.
