Right now i have a Droid 2 global that uses 3G and i am still using the Unlimited plan with my dad. My upgrade is due in about 10 days and my dad isnt ready to let go of the Unlimited plan and switch the the (Crappy) Share everything. With that said, if i buy a Droid Incredible 2 or a 4g phone from a 3rd party will it change my plan?
If you buy a phone from a third party, your plan should stay the same. Just make sure the phone`s ESN is clear before buying it, meaning that no one has called it in as stolen otherwise you won`t be able to connect it.

What do you mean by a 3rd party? Someone on eBay or a friend, or an authorized Verizon reseller? Bottom line, if you do a subsidized upgrade and sign a new contract, your line (and only your line) will lose unlimited. Other lines on the account will not lose their unlimited unless the account holder changes the plan. Another option is that you could also pay full price for a new phone from Verizon without extending your contract.
Have you looked at your bills to see how much data you actually use? 95% of all people use less than 2GB of data a month, so you have to weigh the idea of paying full price for the phone, or getting it subsidized and losing the unlimited. Planning and doing a little homework is your best friend...
I mean from Craigslist. I Want to know if i buy a 4g phone will it still work with my unlimited plan?
Unless it's an old calling plan, it should work. Just ensure that the phone is Verizon branded and has a clean ESN/MEID.
And for what it's worth, you are correct that if you upgrade your phone by signing a new two-year contract for a subsidized phone, you will lose your unlimited data. However, you aren't necessarily switched to the Share Everything plan. Unless your current calling plan is old, you would be switched to a tiered (i.e., $30 for 2 GB) data plan.
