    Default Question regarding selling 3GS (jb/ul) WITH apps

    I am wanting to sell my previous iPhone and am wondering if I can provide some of the apps I've purchased to sweeten the deal. I restored to 4.0, jailbroke, unlocked, and set up as a new phone. It seems that most of my personal info has been deleted in this process (though apparently I still had to sign out of my App Store account).

    What I want to do is sync with my iTunes to restore many of my old apps (but not the ones that contain private information) so that whoever buys the phone has them.

    If I do this, can the buyer then transfer these apps to their own computer or are they going to be essentially useless? Or worse, are they going to compromise my own security since they were purchased with my account and not theirs?

    Also, is Cydia still going to associate this phone with me after it's been sold, and is there anyway I can "reset" that?

    Does anyone have any info on this, or has anyone sold or bought a phone with apps on it? Any info would be great...

    They wont be able to transfer or update anything without your password.

    So I guess it wouldn't do any good...

    What about Cydia... Is it still going to recognize the phone as mine?

    Ya, apps that are linked to the device in cydia will still be able to be installed for free I believe.

    The cydia apps will be there until you transfer your cydia account to a new phone... Then the cydia apps will be linked to it. Personally I would flush it clean and offer to install/setup things for them as the bonus (jailbreak/unlock/save shsh/install useful free stuff/change root and mobile pass/etc).
