Have you ever bought an authentic one on ebay for $250? If so how long ago?
I've bought a few in the 250-300 range. If it was cracked in half or alike and hardly used i would grab it. As I fix these phones on the side.
I should really be clear. You do need to constantly be on the lookout to find a good deal. A device that works and authentic.
One of the few was brand new.
But yes, it's been some time since I bought these guys.
