$250 still seemed kinda low to me. i was looking last month and they were around $350-$400.

yeah. im not really familiar with that website but that looked like someone was selling a used phone.


maybe he just means new to him and not a phone that is new in the sense it's never been used. in which case that would work.

Not sure what is funny but that is definitely a used phone you linked.

You do this a lot. I bet no one I know IRL has ever heard of that.

i've bought probably 10 phones off swappa, every one of them was in perfect condition.

site is self-policing but if you would rather pay retail + tax + shipping for a product you'll probably drop in 6 months or replace in a year, be my guest.

i understand the seller claims the phone is in very good shape but that is still a used phone. No real way around it. It's not new.

i'm not buying anything. are you confusing me with the original poster? He asked for a new phone, not a used one.

are you unclear on the concept of 'mint'?

adjective

"a pair of speakers including stands, mint, $160"
synonyms: brand new, pristine, perfect, immaculate, unblemished, undamaged, unmarked, unused, first-class, excellent
"in mint condition"

It's like I kicked your dog or something. No phone with a previous owner is new, despite what description the seller puts. It may be a viable option and worth buying. But it's not new. To argue otherwise is just nonsensical.
