  Your spending that much on a used phone? I can’t phantom paying more than $600 for one

    You’re willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.

    OK, now someone else go lower.

      I once used $50 phone because my main phone broke so I had to use that cheap phone as a temporary stopgap. It was a locked phone thats why I could get it so cheap. (Moto G Play 2023, btw)

      (Now I use a $400-ish Samsung Galaxy A Series phone. I just can’t deal with the lagging and frequent freezing of a $50 phone)

    I get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:

    • 870€ is about 45% of the official original price
    • the phone was used for 2 months and in a very good condition (saw it firsthand)
    • valid warranty etc

      To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country’s monthly median salary. This is still very wild.

  That is insane as well. $300 for my Pixel was already painful enough. 870€ is a whole decent computer :/
