Used cell phones in NYC?

Brick and mortar store with used cell phones in NYC?
My friend lost her cell phone and needs one relatively soon - there's plenty of outlets on the internet, but the sooner she could get one the better. Is there anywhere she can just walk in and buy one in New York? She uses Cingular, if that matters.

Seconded. Go on Craigslist, put in the model you want and hit search in the "For Sale" section. You'll find dozens for cheap. I've done this with lost blackberrries. Twice.
Then any Starbucks you meet your seller at is a cell phone store.

If you go down to Canal street, you can find dudes selling "used" cellphones on the street.

Yeah those "used" cells down on Canal St probably have blacklisted IMEIs so good luck with those.
