Used? Facebook marketplace, craigslist/kijiji (are either of those still a thing?)
Yes they are still a thing. I've never even used Facebook marketplace. Can't wait for that one to die out.
Ya marketplace sucks. Kijiji is Canadian at least!
I shopped used before I got my pixel 8 (and graphene). People wanted more money on marketplace for a used pixel 7 128gb than a brand new pixel 8 256GB costs on contract. AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONTRACTS, you can take advantage of the deals.
Here's the deal I got. Similar deals throughout the year on current models, just wait for the price to drop and snag it.
Koodo BF 2023 Deal (wait for current model to be <$10/month IMO, seems fairly common.) I went thru a best buy mobile kiosk to also get the $100 GC.
Total cost for phone over 2 years = $388. Try and find a used pixel for that cheap 🤷♂️ obv the bonus items are usually just around BF, but the cost is still cheaper than buying outright or used, and you get a 0% interest loan on the $344 cost for 2 years, if you needed it.
