I'd never want to pay 2,500 for a phone... tht's just insane

I absolutely agree, luckily I got mine used for 870€.

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 get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:

  • 870€ is about 45% of the official original price
  • the phone was used for 2 months and in a very good condition (saw it firsthand)
  • valid warranty etc
