Where to buy a good second-hand Pixel phone in Europe?
Basically the title.
I would rather not get scammed.. :)
The idea is to move to GrapheneOs as my next step, but I don't necessarily need the newest device.
Edit: yeah I was being too generic, Austria is were I am.
Also a further thing to keep in mind. With all Pixel's having OLED screens, ask the seller for a picture of the display displaying a large white area or else you might end up with a phone that has OLED burn-in. Especially with the Pixel 2 XL is often affected by this.
My experience with Backmarket was horrible and the S21 I got from them was advertised as being in "perfect condition" but resembled more a phone that endured World War II so I had to send it back for a refund. Backmarket is merely a marketplace for refurbishers, they don't really check the phones that are being sold on their marketplace and anyone can easily put "perfect condition" when it's clearly not the case.
Just make a random burner account. I get the adversity to Facebook but the marketplace is very good. If you want a cheap and good condition phone you'll want to look around on it.
If you go with a refurbed website, make sure that the phone has the ability to use OEM unlock. Some refurbed sites sell Verizon versions of the phones and don't disclose this and Verizon along with other US carriers block OEM unlocking which means you can't install another OS. There is no known workaround as far as I know. I had this issue before with a refurbed Pixel 4
