Suggestion: IMEI checker for used devices?

Interesting but how would FairPhone could get this kind of info?I mean, if my phone is stolen, I report it to the Police and not to the manufacturer?If I sell my FP, do I have to inform Fairphone?

Apparently people do report their phone as stolen to Fairphone:

@Michiel_S

We keep a list of Fairphones reported to us by their owners as being stolen. So if you are going to buy a used Fairphone, ask for the serial number and IMEI-numbers from the seller’s Fairphone, these can be found on a sticker underneath where the battery is.

Find the whole information about “safely selling or buying a second hand Fairphone” here:

How to safely sell or buy a second hand Fairphone

Facilitating a platform where Fairphones can be sold or bought is something that has always been on our minds here at Fairphone. Especially since we are movement which promotes sustainability. However, facilitating such a secondhand-market (be it via a forum thread or through another channel) would only feel comfortable for us if we have the feeling we can make this happen in a safe and more or less controllable way. Since our capacity and resources are limited this isn’t possible at the moment…
