Why is there so many s24 ultra for sale on ebay? Are they that bad?

[luke19831]

For some yes. I'm fine with mine. If you're coming from the S23 or below series then it might be worth not buying that's if a more natural screen is your cup of tea. To me the screen is fine but cab see why others are more troubled by it. All I can say is if you're thinking of buying go to a shop and test one and you can make up you're own mind then if you want one. The fold and flip 6 series may have the same display technology. I don't see no washed out colours or grainess on mine. The phone is great.

Thanks for replying

You will get a lot that are imported phones.
People getting them cheaply in some way.
Some will have upgraded and to get fast money. Sell it, then stop the upgrade leaving the new owner with a blocked phone after a short time
Usually especially on Facebook marketplace and auction sites. All the scammers come out after a new phone launch

Oh God really?? I didn't know they were doing that. I thought that was only on new consoles being released. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Thank you for the information. Thanks.

Sadly many do get caught out.
Shopping places like that you must do your homework
One usual give away is wanting to get paid outside of the site, and meet up to exchange
Communicating outside of those sites
Too much of a risk now which is why I don't buy from that sort of source anymore

Having supported another user on here who got caught out buying a device from a 3rd party that had been pawned, and helping another who had bought from eBay then a few weeks later finding the device blocked as the seller reported the device stolen, claimed in insurance so the insurers blocked the device......

Thieves also reset the device and then try to sell it on quickly to get the cash then disappear.

I wouldn't buy a flagship where the money is higher from a private seller unless I knew them personally as dependable.

I would not buy any phone so close to release date from ebay.

Some upgrade via their mobile phone contract and then sell that upgrade to make some money @ianW70
