And Watch for Scams
Particularly if you’re buying online from an auction seller or in person, it’s important to watch for any signs of scams, knockoffs, and fraud. Things to watch out for include:
- Prices that are ridiculously low in comparison to average prices for that model.
- There are very few pictures, or the pictures have been sourced from another listing.
- Someone is selling on behalf of a business or friend (they aren’t).
- Someone wants payment before you get a chance to check out the phone, or encourages you to pay outside of the website using a sepearate, unrelated service.
