Apple iPhone SE 3 128GB Midnight LTE Cellular Straight Talk/TracFone $177

While it's locked to TracFone, it should be pretty easy to unlock it with $10 (one month cheapest service from Tracfone) in 60 days. It should be unlocked after 60 days if you activate it on Tracfone website with one month service.

Everything bought from them come with their 90 days warranty. New iPhone also have one year warranty from Apple, that's my understanding

Reading some of the reviews under the eBay listing, buyers have received 64gb instead of advertised 128bg models. Red flag

So if you don't get what you ordered, file a complaint with ebay? Ebay is notorious for siding with the buyer when there are conflicts, especially ones like this. And if that doesn't work (for whatever reason?), you have the protections on your credit card.

I mean, companies make mistakes. Sometimes they're even out to maliciously pull one over you. But you have gobs upon gobs of protections against that. But hey, if you're too afraid to buy a telephone, you can always pass on the deal.

Agreed. I personally don't feel comfortable looking at a possible followup and reverse shipping and refunds etc and will avoid.
But that might not be true for others.

What iPhone is this comparable to? My dad is using an iPhone 10 XR and he has been complaining to me about his phone sucking lately….
