    “refurbished” pixels don’t exist. there are no businesses buying used pixels, renewing them by way of batteries, swapping out busted components, etc. and then sealing them water-tight and selling them on for $120 and somehow making profit. that sorta thing doesn’t exist, anywhere, it’s a phantasm.

    you’re either buying google’s old stock (so giving them money) or a used phone. if it’s used, fine, but for something people rubbed and spat all over, took to the shitter and dogknows what else, the price is $50, not $200.

    $200 is the lowest I can get a seven without issues (display, battery, etc). sixes are what, five years old at this point? and at the bottom of the supported list? not a stellar purchase. and it still is a purchase, however inexpensive when there’s perfectly good shit that can run the latest lineageOS laying about.
