re-selling that unit to a potentially the new owner.

Thank you for the screenshot.


5-Devevice Limit:

You can only sign in to 5 Apple Accounts per device. So, return this. You have been sold an unusable device. As the messages reads: "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone."
