    Very much doubt you will get a used one that cheap.

    as they have just come out on PAYG for £400 the prices will stay quite high as they are still a sort after phone will sell you mine for £500 ;)

    I would be very wary of parting with £300 for a used one!!

    WHY!!

    Considering the PAYG version retail at £399 for the 16GB, £300 is not a bad price to expect,

    People may have had one on contract then sell them on to make some quick cash.

    It's really quite simple....

    They attract much more than £300.

    Anyone offering a 16GB iPhone for £300 sounds a deal TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

    I'm saying it is worth being very careful if proceeding.

    agreed before PAYG but £300 isn't that bad considering they are £399

    o2 do the 3gs 8gb on payg for £389.

    alternatively you can get a brand new and sealed 3gs 16gb on ebay for around £375.

    i would not buy a second hand iphone.
