Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."

The Walmart iPhone SE is locked to straight talk. Do I have to do anything to unlock it before trading it in or I can literally pull it out of the box and hand it over?

Were you able to do 2 trade ins?
No because I was late to the game. They still allow me to do two trade in. But at reduced value so it's not worth it anymore

Yeah so one iPhone is 460 the other is 160

And they set the price so ironically it's as if Best Buy is watching slickdeal forums

So when I go to BB and finalize the trade, does the phone have to be open and at least pretend that it was used or unlocked? Because I bought it just to trade it

They don't care. I literally brought in a brand new iPhone SE before. They just have to scan the imei.

You can sell that $199 msrp buds pro for $100 no problem. Then sell the phone brand new for $550-$600 to Google fan boys. That is like $200+ profit. If you buy it with PayPal + freedom card, it is another 3500 chase points(because they charge for full amount first), which worth $70 alone. Grab those $300, and wait for Black Friday promo and upgrade your own pixel 7 to 8 for like $50-$100. Boom, free upgrade + $200 in the pocket.

I did it every year because Google pixel team is a charity organization. Their marketing team and chip design team is a joke in the industry
Usually where do people sell their new phones, Buds etc.?
If you sell on eBay you have to factor in the eBay fees, shipping cost and if customer disputes with eBay saying they didn't received the listed product even thought customer received it, eBay going to hold the payments and too much hassle to deal with.

The fees are reasonable for the vastly larger market you get. Shipping cost is cheap if you buy USPS or UPS labels ($5 for a package containing the pixel buds) on eBay's platform using their negotiated discounted rates.

I've sold 50+ items on eBay and never had a customer dispute or hold on payments. If you can read, follow instructions, and type out an intelligent listing you will not have problems.

Same response. Their system was updated a few hours ago that no longer allows stacking promos.
