Looks like you can get a pixel 5 used for like $100-150 now? A quick look yields that most are in poor condition. Would be nice to find one barely used or even new/refurbished these days.. is it possible?

I should probably have specified that I bought the phone in northern Europe where prices are generally higher due to companies' selective pricing and VAT. If I had to guess, those $250 would probably correspond to around $180 to $190 if the device was bought in America during the time of my purchase - you guys don't know how good you have it when it comes to the price of consumer electronics!

Funnily enough I was just in the market for a sealed new Pixel 5 on Ebay UK last week. The going rate seems to be about £200

I'd probably buy at that price, but I'm not sure what the battery condition will be like after 5 years doing nothing.

Personally, I cringe at paying more than 100-150 for a phone. Never spent more than that in my life! I've had a couple refurb iPhone 7's over the last 5-7 years, lol. My main phone currently is a 2024 Moto G Play, but it's a little lacking even for me (as I couldn't give two shits about even beginning to care about having a "nice" phone), so a decent shape Pixel 5 for cheap sounds kinda cool

		That's sealed new. If you're happy with used or even scratched then the price can be sub-£100
