The disadvantage is that without the AppleID and passcode used to originally
setup the iPhone, you will not be able to activate it. You will not be able to complete
the setup process. You will have an unuseable iPhone.
You cannot use it fully because you do not have the needed credentials.

It can't really be used for parts. the most valuable part, the logic board, is what is actually Activation Locked. Apple has a recycling program; they will give you a store credit for it.
Thank you very much!
how do i remove the i cloud lock. i bought a locked device and i feel very ripped off .
Well....sorry....your feeling is probably very appropriate. Read the thread you've just joined.
Return the iPhone to the seller for a refund.
Hopefully, mary burke has resolved this problem in the 2 1/2 years since she posted.
Turn it over to the police. It doesn't belong to you. What they do with it isn't your problem.
Oi
Thanks! I knew that a $7 iPhone was too good to be true. Because of your advice, I bought an unlocked $49 one instead.
