If he paid $600 for a used Note 8 off Kijiji, he might only have a day or so of enjoyment before it gets blacklisted.

This is the third day of use and no problems. Also the seller provided me a receipt with his home address and some credit card info on it so I don’t think there’s going to be any problems. The phone was purchased factory unlocked from Samsung in September.

That’s an insane deal. The man must have been seriously hard up for cash.

Congrats on the procurement.

Haha thanks. The guy said he liked to buy all the new phones and the note8 had been sitting in his drawer for 2 months and he just wanted to get rid of it. He had long upgraded to a pixel 2 already.

A nice find for sure. Best is to find a rich guy that doesn't care about market value and just wants to get rid of stuff lol.

Kijiji can throw some gems your way from time to time.
