Re:constant "upsell" (Score 1)

Buying a second hand phone sounds great, but count yourself rich too quickly. Often the batteries are worn and need replacement. Here in the Netherlands a battery may cost you 40 to 50 dollars, most likely more than you would have paid for the phone. Even worse are the 'refurbished' phones, sold as new (with a price tag close to a new one). Look shiny from the outside, but it may still contain an old battery ready for replacement. Of course you could be lucky and somebody wants to get rid off his 'free' phone that he got after his contract extension.
