Ha I know it's an odd request. How does $5 sound?
Definitely not worth $5 lol. It reduces the resell value of the phone.

Not to mention the GSM box looks SO much better than the Verizon box.
Verizon box is just lame, it's pure white then red. Not sure what they were thinking.

I could be mistaken, and I am sorry if I am, but I can't help but think something fishy is going on here...

How would having a GSM box help you play a joke on a friend? Is yours GSM? If so, why not just use your own box? If you have the VZW version, how would having the GSM box benefit you in any way?

Be nice to your friend and don't give him an empty box. At least put a G1 in there.

I have the VZW version of the Gnex and his carrier is T-Mobile and the GSM version would work for his carrier. I'm not going to give him an empty box I have everything planned out I just need the box for the last piece of the puzzle. I you are willing to sell me the box PM with an offer.

I agree. This sounds incredibly suspect. OP what exactly is your "plan". Up to this point, you've been extremely vague about it. So tell us specifically what your plan is because honestly at this point what you're saying doesn't quite sound right. Almost sounds like you're trying to get an IMEI.

My best friend for lack of a better word is envious of the fact that I have the GNex and he doesn't. As of I envious of him because he has Skyrim and I do not, I spent all my money on the phone and a trip to New York for my fathers birthday, so I could not purchase the game. And for Christmas he got an empty Skyrim box... and as return I plan to give him a fake GNex that my grandfather made out of wood. I got his mother to be in on it as well and before he opens the actual box he mom says something along the lines of we already have it activated.

And as for selling a VZW as a GSM well that doesn't even really make sense, because then I wouldn't have my wonderful phone. Plus it would probably end up in a lawsuit with my luck.
