The so called 2nd hand fones are stolen fones, so keep off |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by skima(m): 10:33pm On Nov 05, 2005 |
Some aint stolen... well stolen ones could be seen on computer vilage's street bois. and some bad area around lagos. but u could see a legaly shipped second hand fone. But meanwhile fones are cheap this days. only if u want a camera fone and have less monety. |

There is nothing wrong buying second hand phones in Nigeria if you are sure of the source. There are people who bring in second hand phones from abroad for sale. Its like saying we should not buy tokunbo cars and electronics. The availability of genuine second phones, cars, electronics is one of the reasons why their prices has been within the reach of everybody in Nigeria. |

That aside, there might also be aproblem with the fone the original owner couldn't repair, and that would be prolly Y its in for resale |

majority are factory refurbished & are ok, u just need to test them well before buying |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by fabian(f): 2:38pm On Nov 08, 2005 |
Test em well, you said? How well then? 1 week? I guess we are talking about the real 2nd hand ones, the ones without packets that are sold at computer villa, not the factory refurbished ones. Nigerians mostly never say summin is factory refurbished. They call it brand new most times. |

buy it, but dont be sure of the best experince |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by compaqB: 5:56am On Mar 13, 2007 |
Most new phones that we buy in Nigria are refurbish, so if you the person selling the second hand phone, the origin and not all type of phone you can buy the second hand. If it comes from UK, and you check it well then you can go for it, all my phones come from Uk, clean, rugged and last longer, therefore watch what you are buying, tak kia, God bless you. |

wot painz me now is that, the nig market is full of CHINA made fonez which 4sure are fakes!!! |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by Douzy(m): 10:02am On Mar 15, 2007 |
If I don't have enough money to buy a particular phone brand new, I would rather keep saving for it or buy a cheaper one brand new. |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by oge4real(f): 12:34pm On Mar 15, 2007 |
not advisable |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by pannyman(m): 4:28pm On Mar 15, 2007 |
Hey maxjax, there's no problem with Chinese-made phones really cos all major phone makers have established plants in China to take advantage of the favourable conditions e.g low labour costs, that exist in that country. They manufacture these phones in China then ship them to Europe, America and elsewhere. It is because of the Chinese plants belonging to Nokia, Sony Ericsson and the rest of them that phone prices are crashing. |
Re: Second-hand Phones in Nigeria by ronnieslimz(f): 3:02pm On Mar 16, 2007 |
