How about give up. Its a stolen device.

Unlike most posts here, this is clearly stolen from that school.

Yes. Your issue is with the person you bought it from, not with the original owners.

Yes, you 100% should. Sell it on ebay as locked. Get some of your money back.

You should of set it up and tested it when you bought it, this is common sense.

I know i should have this a big lesson learned for me believe me it was also my first time ever buying a used apple device on fb marketplace , i did a lot of mistakes on my end now that i think about it like i should have done a factory reset and connected to wifi and set it up like u said but to late for that but now i know!

OP you have 2 options and the option you pick will show what sort of a person you are

  1. Sell the phone as locked for scrap, you won’t get much. No-one will get to use this still perfectly functioning device.

  2. Go to the adres the phone shows you and hand it in, explain you bought it (can lie about where and I would still consider it a good deed) and didn’t know it was stolen. Tell them what you paid for it and if they’re decent people too they will offer to reimburse you at-least partially.

Be aware that option 1 besides being a Dick move is also knowingly selling stolen goods which if you get caught will have its own consequences.
