The skyrocketing prices of different new handset became quite the investment. To resolve this ongoing issue, ever-growing used smartphone markets have emerged, taking the sting out of those increasing prices.

Used smartphone markets help people save money and allow them to earn money by selling their unused gadgets. However, when it comes to smartphones, there are things that you need to consider first before purchasing a 2nd hand.

Buyers must check the phone's SIM unlock status, factory reset, original accessories, sales history, and, more importantly, the product's damage. You also need to consider what kind of used device you're planning to buy. There are two types of 2nd hand products.

First, a phone purchased directly from an owner. The second one would be a smartphone that has already been refurbished or fixed by the product's manufacturer or partner company. Here are the best places you can check for 2nd hand iPhones.

Craiglist

The best thing about Craiglist is that it is currently everywhere, and has communities for almost every city in the world. However, this website depends on in-person meetups to conduct cash transactions, which give way to scams. Buyers will have to depend on their ability to identify fraudulent offers or products. It is hard to verify the devices' qualities or sellers. However, it offers excellent availability, plenty of choices, and reasonable prices. Craiglist also allows buyers to purchase items so that they can check the condition of the product locally.

eBay

eBay is one of the biggest websites that allows people to sell and buy new or used products. Its range can be compared to Craiglist, or even better. However, there are a few disadvantages, including PayPal transactions, to ensure that payments were made. It has a search system that allows people to find what they want based on carrier, price, and color. Another good thing about this website is that it offers a money-back guarantee and buyer protection. However, buyers will not see the product before shipping, which can potentially be expensive.
