You can donate to GrapheneOS and I highly doubt that the hardware of the Fairphone is open
e/OS is a joke btw

And then you indirectly pay google as you fund the people who buy google phones every time a new one comes out.

Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point

Eh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn’t be buying if they couldn’t sell them.

I would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it when they don’t use it anymore 🧠

You can also buy used or refurbished Fairphones too

I suppose, but Fairphones are a security and thus a privacy nightmare. As soon as you cross a border or police get your phone, e/OS and CalyxOS are virtually useless
