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.

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.

Check my signature for the report

In December last year, I bought a UK used laptop, till today I wish I had saved enough money to buy brand new one. The battery is so bad. After going back to change it they still gave me a bad battery. I just wished I waited patiently

Techpaded:
Why You Shouldn't Patronise SecondHand Devices


[b]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.[/b]

Source: http://www.techpaded.com.ng/2017/06/you-may-not-buy-secondhand-phones-again.html

OP, so you mean a policeman will stop someone on the highway and ask him to present the receipt for a phone he bought over 6 months ago? undecided

I do not believe this

From your post.... It shows there's isn't any problem with the laptop, just the battery and I believe any laptop old/new can have battery problem. Try and get a better battery bro. Bless

that is several licensed store that sells used phones in uk and us, other great country. my question is why not such business here in Nigeria?

when i was in uk i bought almost all my gadgets in cex.com and phone4u.

which any of my gadgets never had any problem.

AnonyNymous:

If the price difference is more than x2 of the brand new one then its either stolen or has some severe, I mean SEVERE grin hidden faults. I bought an iPod 5th generation about a year ago for 40k when a brand new one is 155k. Turns out it was iCloud locked, and stolen. I eventually had to return it to the original owner without any compensation from them. cry I naively contacted the owner of the email to remove the ipod from her apple account and they were already accusing me of stealing it grin grin

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.

U are naive. Really naive.

So a used phone must af a receipt abi.
Because na brand new we dey buy am
Dos na the kind stupid reasons coti dey use obtain men.
Dem see say na old phone or lapy of 3yrs wey dey serve u well.
Dem go begin ask receipt.
Yung man what do you do for a living
Useless and meaningless questions.

I never see police for express bevin dey ask God is Good passengers to come down and start asking dia useless questions of what do u do for a living.
What is in that bag
Can we see your phone
Where is the receipt.

Places where such stupid shiits happens na mostly afonja states
Like ibadan
Lagos
And some parts in delta.
U be like person wey dey enter sorleh
Along


So all phones on olx and jiji are stolen and faulty.
Just tell us u had a terrible experience buying a dead phone from a roadside thief
Abegi.
Way u 4 dey thank God for uk and belgium things
U go fit carry 380k cash go buy new in box iphone 7
