Your spending that much on a used phone? I can't phantom paying more than $600 for one
You're willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.
OK, now someone else go lower.
I once used $50 phone because my main phone broke so I had to use that cheap phone as a temporary stopgap. It was a locked phone thats why I could get it so cheap. (Moto G Play 2023, btw)
(Now I use a $400-ish Samsung Galaxy A Series phone. I just can't deal with the lagging and frequent freezing of a $50 phone)

To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country's monthly median salary. This is still very wild.
