I was looking at the lowest end pixel for Graphene (Pixel 7) and they are still nearly $400 on the aftermarket. It’s insane.
Damn, the market's crazy. You could get a Pixel 7 brand new, unlocked, for less than $400 when it was still current, 3 years ago.
The only things Pixels have going for them are the aggressive sales and GrapheneOS.
Where are you looking? I see Pixel 8s, used and unlocked, on ebay for $200-300.
I got a 7 Pro around 6 months ago for $280 CAD. Surely there are other less expensive sources you could find.
Most of the Pixel 7s on Swappa are just under US$200 at this moment.
Anecdotally I bought a used pixel 9a last year for ~$350, could be regional or due to ongoing inflation though
I bought a new in box old stock Pixel 9a for $350 USD a couple months ago from eBay. This was just before that Cop City protestor gave a duress password to border patrol, I wonder if that caused a bit of a spike in demand for old Pixels?
I’m guessing inflation and the tech related bullshit. Everyone marking shit up.
