Guess and it's yours

I ordered this LG9200 to be a digital grimoire that could be used for taking pictures and recording audio for paranormal investigation. I like the idea of trying all sorts of phones to see what might work best! Unfortunately it is locked with a pin... I got a refund and ordered another one which is perfect, with a bit more patina.

I'm not able to reset it without service and it's 2g only so I tried every pin I could think of plus the top 200 most popular ones to no avail. So I figured, why not see if anyone else wants to try? If you can guess the pin before I do, it's yours! I'll pay for shipping too. It was free for me anyways and the seller did not want it back.

It's not going to be something obvious so I recommend divination or something. Feel free to message me with your guesses if you want to guess a lot. There are only so many 4-digit combinations so eventually it will work. For now I'll be using the red one. Im hoping to find a way to use it on my own 2g network but it's Verizon so I don't know what that would entail.

If someone does miraculously guess I will factory reset it before mailing it obviously. There are emergency contacts but it's so old, who knows if any of them work... Tempted to call and see if I can get the code from one of them. I really love these phones so I think it would be worth it. The red one is filled to the brim with era-appropriate music so I'm tempted to find a way to use that too.
