        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 :/

      Edit: could have got it for less, but it would’ve been secondhand.
