You May Not Buy Secondhand Phones Again After Reading This by Techpaded(f): 11:05pm On Jun 21, 2017 |
Why You Shouldn't Patronise SecondHand Devices 1. Theft: A rainy night in delta state, theives gained entrance into this guy's house - took his money & phones! Once they unlock the phones, what next? Sell it. You might be using a stolen phone and you don't know, you might be arrested and you won't know. 2. No Guarantee, No Warranty: Secondhand phone buyers don't have any guarantee that what they want to buy is in good condition. Neither do they have warranty incase of damages! Once you buy, you bye ! 3. You May Spend More on Repairs: After discovering numbers of faults, or you decide to repackage the phone (buy earphone, change casing, screen guard etc) the money you'll spend on repairs & repackaging may be more than the amount you bought the phone. But when you buy new and unused phones, warranty will speak for you! 4. No Receipt: Nowadays, highway search police asks for receipt of ordinary earphones, talkless of phones. Since secondhand sellers don't issue receipts, it might be a problem if you're called upon to provide evidence of ownership of the phone. 5. No Freebies/ Gifts: Unlike some new phones which may come with free memory cards, powerbanks, selfie stick etc. Secondhand items has no provision for that. The highest they can offer is free earphone! 6. Waste of Money: For the extremely unlucky secondhand phone buyers who buys phones which has been certified dead - infact buried, - you get this depression & pain inside of you, telling you everyday that "bros, you just waisted your money o" Source: http://www.techpaded.com.ng/2017/06/you-may-not-buy-secondhand-phones-again.html 12 Likes

You try. But how can I spend 250k on an high end smartphone when I can get a UK used for 50-100k ? Makes absolutely no sense to me. Even the new phone you bought today will one day become used. Regardless of the flaws which you said is peculiar to used phones, the used phones market in Nigeria will still represent a larger proportion of the market more than new. Anyways everyones buying decision is guided by a few important factors outside just being bothered about warranty and free gifts. UK used phones comes with receipt Some UK used phones comes with warranty if you buy from a reliable seller at Ikeja 90% of used phones rarely develop faults. I have never bought a brand new phone and I have never spent a huge chunk of money to fix a used phone. I am very meticulous when buying on that regard it is rare for me make mistakes.

baba4thegehs:If the price difference is more than x2 of the brand new one then its either stolen or has some severe, I mean SEVERE ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If the price difference is less than 2x e.g used = 10k, brand new= 17k, then its best to just earn the same money you wanted to use to buy a used one to buy a brand new one. It could mean waiting for a little bit of time but its better to avoid 'stories that touch'. There are exceptions though. You could 'hit the jackpot' and actually get a good deal. But that's rare. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

baba4thegehs:somebody can hardly sell his phone that has no issue at all. Battery is the reason why many people sell theirs. Believe me, there is no such thing as original battery in the market for replacement. speaking from experience, fairly used phones are more costly than new ones in the long run. modified In addition, all the UK used bla bla bla na wash! 85% are stolen phones. 85%of the stolen phones are Nigerian stolen while 15% are UK stolen. Is there anyone here whose phone has never been stolen before? Did the thieves eat them? They are the UK used you buy 9 Likes 1 Share |

i font want to believe all you have just stated. Though i dont advise people to go for second hand phones. Just go for direct UK used. In fact i have been making so much money buying and selling UK used. I buy at a very cheap price from wholesalers in Lagos and sell at my state. It is a means of earning extra income.

Catalyst001: UK used Tecno and Infinix phones?? I wonder why we actually love that line "UK used" when, in fact, we all know that majority of the so called UK used phones have had at least 2 to 3 Nigerian owners. To answer your questions though, there are no UK used Tecno and Infinix phones. 5 Likes 1 Share |
