People buy a second hand phone under different circumstances such as, someone can be in need of a phone urgently but can be short of money, sometimes some people are habitual of selling a used phone frequently and buy a 2nd hand phone, as they get bored of the old one. Whatever may be the circumstances, a second hand phone must be bought with utmost care, as there is a high risk of being duped. One must first figure out why a persons sells his/her phone. This is done in case of following reasons:
1- A phone is mostly sold by a person when he/she is facing some technical problems with the phone, it may be software aging and slowdown issue, or some hardware problem, etc.
2- A phone is mostly sold by a person when he/she gets bored of using the same phone for a long time or even in short time.
3- A person might be in need of some money in urgency, and hence can sell his/her phone.
4- The phone's features might get out of trend and a desire of getting a new phone with updated features can lead a person to sell his/her old phone. In all the above cases, there is a need to keep some points in mind which can be helpful:
1- As there is a possibility of a person selling a phone in case of some damage or a technical issue, a buyer must be very careful so that there must be no regret after the deal. First check for the speed of the phone by using a few apps as software aging can lead to a smartphone getting slow. Then, check for the key internal features of the phone such as the phone's wifi connectivity, bluetooth connectivity, phone's camera and its lens, etc.
2- When a person sells his/her phone in case of getting bored with the use of same phone, this can be an opportunity for the buyer as the phone is many a times in a good condition nad so a buyer must be in search of such opportunities.
3- When a person sells his/her phone in case when he/she is in need of money, then his/her pain is the buyer's blessing as the phone can be a very good one with no defects. Actually this can be a golden opportunity for the buyer and not to loose one such opportunity.
4- If the phone is outdated and hence the seller is the selling it, then it depends on the buyer's requirement. Such phone can be bought if the buyer is comfortable with it.
Other important things to keep in mind are:
1- Take care of the price, first check for the original price of the new phone online, the time for which the phone is used by the seller, and then calculate the depreciation on the original price.
2- Compulsorily ask for the original bill of the phone as in some cases, a phone might be a stolen one and you could be in a great trouble on buying such a phone.
