What should I look for in a second hand OnePlus One?

As the title. I am thinking about getting a oneplus one. I was going to order one on the pre order day but hey said it would take 4-6 weeks to ship so i decided not to get it.

I could wait until the 17th but I have the opportunity to buy one from Gumtree. The seller says he bought it from OnePlus.

What should I look for when I go see it?

The phones from the earlier batches have a yellow tint at the bottom of the screen, be sure to check that if you have the chance to. Other than that check the cyanogenmod logo on the back, if it doesn't have this it's the Chinese model and might not support all 4G bands, other than that its the same phone.

I would just like to contribute that I had a batch with the yellow tint as did a friend of mine.. Both of them are gone now. 100%.

I was one of the very very first few to get the OPO, and my yellow tint is gone. They needed time to finish drying.

Ah, wasn't sure if this was hardware related or not but that's good to hear

Mine originally said 4 to 6 weeks also but it now changed to 2 to 3 weeks if that made any difference.

You should have stuck with it. When I ordered mine I was told 4-5 weeks. That changed to 2-3 weeks when the order was added to my account. I got an email yesterday telling me my order is ready to be shipped!
