iPhone Sold having problems

    Hi so I recently swapped my iPhone 5 for an iPhone 4s with cash my way. I thought it was a fair trade and just inspected the 4s but never put my sim in it. I was told it was 02 Ireland . The only reason I swapped was because the cash with the 4s was good and I was just going to sell on the 4s straight away..
    Anyways another person then txt me about my iPhone 5 and I said it was sold but that I had a 4s... They said they'd take it.... They inspected the phone etc said they were happy enough.. Got a txt the next day saying that the 02 sim wasn't working but that they'd try to get it unlocked ... Now there saying that its a uk network and that it's blacklisted. In all fairness I would give them the money back but I haven't a bean due to bills etc so I told them they could sell it on eBay and practically get most of the money back if not all (I sold it for 270 it's a brand new phone )
    Anyways there threatining guards etc and there's really nothing I can do but whats the legal side of things and am I covered etc? It wasn't me who stole the phone so can I get the blame as I really was unaware ???

    yes but you did HANDLE AND SELL STOLEN GOODS.so you are far from in the clear.i would explaine to the buyer you are broke and tell him you will pay him as soon as you can.in the mean time chase up the guy you got the 4s off
