Buying original phones on ebay for personal use?
 

Is it worth it buying new or no especially if they say coming from hong kong?

Hong kong is a no no... Phones might be made in China but when it comes to phones stay far away from the chinese stuff unless you personally know the seller/company

More than likely its going to be a ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

ummm hell no. if you are going to buy them on ebay, buy them from someone selling their own personal phone, has good feedback, and does not sell a lot of phones. companies selling 100s-1000s of phones do not inspect them.

This is a joke post right??

Are you testing what people will think of your imitation phones? or are you seriously wanting to buy one? Either way is a NO NO.

Even a big seller with 2000 fb and lets say its 99% positive i still feel a little shady buying a expansive phone from them. Especially if they are selling a lot of them. Also if they are all brand new i question how/where they get them. If i ever bought a phone from eb*y it would be from a seller who has no history of selling phones.

Imitaiton phones? C'mon nowhere I said im selling imitaiton phones. Im just saying would you buy. I have bought a few and there original with no problems as gifts!

too much hassle if you cannot get it to work, returning it etc...

I bought few phones on ebay from UK, they were good...

99% of people getting a phone as a gift think they are lucky... for the thought alone they might overlook any problems.

Might be inclined to think how loverly you are:pop2:

Sell them and meet buyers who are more prickly & picky than a porcupine.

Im just saying I buy them as gifts for birthdays and special events for my people since there 20-50 dollars cheaper then in store.

Just pay with a CC and file a chargeback if you get screwed. They seem to get away with it at will on us right?? If I did it I would go that route. Tell them in an email that you want a real phone and if its not then you will take action. More than likely they will just block you though. lol..
