Advice, cheap used phone

Abouna

I need a cheap phone, something I can buy unlocked off of eBay. This is simply a second phone I need to slap a SIM card into so it need not be fantastic. It does need:

- flip phone
- color screen
- tri-band

Any suggestions for what I should look for?

Yes it will work but you won't get your warranty on the device. This is a frowned apon practice among the cingular up and ups.
