XprN How will this affect people who want to sell their phone and people who want to buy?
It will probably be activated by the owner and unless they are a dick, they won't "kill" the phone they are selling.

Yeah I have a feeling that is going to be a huge problem.
Oh I'm sure every one of these multi-billion dollar companies will completely overlook that.

Yeah, say if your selling your phone on eBay you can easily wipe it essentially scamming them out of their money.

Seems smart but, at the same time dumb. Because what if you buy a phone off someone from Criagslist or something and they just shut it off?

This is a good idea, but it has its flaws. You would have to have a completely secure account to use the tool and be confident nobody could access it other than you. Then theres the problem of losing your phone, using the tool, and then finding it only to find out you paid 500> for a brick. You'd have to be absolutely sure theres no chance of finding it.
