I may be somewhat of an outlier, but I have been purchasing used phones since my first smart phone (a Galaxy S2). That was a manufacturer refurb from my provider. Since then I've branched out in to ebay and amazon purchased phones, and excepting one V10 that arrived in the mail with a boot-loop issue (resolved easily enough) I've had zero problems with them and saved hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
- limeblack 8y agoIf you don't mind replacing batteries yourself or know someone sure. My experience is the batteries especially from eBay have major issues.
- patient_zero 8y agoah, yes. I also never buy phones that dont have an easily swappable battery or an expansion slot. Since I started looking up drop rating videos my phones have lasted a lot longer too :) I've not personally had an issue with buying one but of course its as much luck as anything.
