I absolutely agree, luckily I got mine used for 870€.

Your spending that much on a used phone? I can't phantom paying more than $600 for one

[–] madis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:

  • 870€ is about 45% of the official original price
  • the phone was used for 2 months and in a very good condition (saw it firsthand)
  • valid warranty etc

To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country's monthly median salary. This is still very wild.
