UPDATE :
I got my package in the mail rather quickly! The phone works great (like new), however the charger mailed with the phone did not charge the phone at all. I contacted the guy who sold it to me and his customer service skills were impeccable. He apologized and immediately sent out a new WORKING charger. Everything ended up working out great after I got the new charger.
