Let’s face it. Used handphone devices are trending. What used to cost $800 five years ago for a brand-new high-end flagship device will cost you upwards of $1500 today.
We are not even talking about the latest iPhone XS Max which is retailing at $2349 for the largest variant. Read this article in detail from Hardwarezone.com.sg describing what you can actually buy with the price of the new iPhone XS.
Big companies like Apple, Huawei, and Samsung are constantly launching new flagships in attempt to lure in new customers, and their prices are not getting any cheaper. Our monthly pay packet isn’t even growing as quickly as the price inflation of new mobile phones. How to afford?
This is one of the reasons why many of us are turning to buy a used handphone instead. We can stay with the trend, yet be gentle with our very fragile pockets.
There are many used handphone platforms in Singapore selling used mobile phones. There is Facebook Marketplace, SGMobMart, neighborhood handphone shops, Mister Mobile, and even from your relatives and friends.
However, the BEST platform to find a used handphone is Carousell.
You can buy from sellers from all walks of life. Be it another handphone reseller such as Mister Mobile, a heartland chap who wants to fetch a higher price for his used handphone, an independent seller who buys and re-sell mobile phones for a profit at the comfort of his home – you name it.
The users of Carousell are so diverse that we are pleasantly surprised by the buyers we meet, all the time. There was even once when we met a schoolgirl in Secondary School to carry out a transaction. Or the other time when we met someone claiming to be a student and he turned out to be a middle-aged man who is trying his luck for discounts.
