Some aint stolen... well stolen ones could be seen on computer vilage's street bois. and some bad area around lagos. but u could see a legaly shipped second hand fone. But meanwhile fones are cheap this days. only if u want a camera fone and have less monety.

There is nothing wrong buying second hand phones in Nigeria if you are sure of the source. There are people who bring in second hand phones from abroad for sale. Its like saying we should not buy tokunbo cars and electronics. The availability of genuine second phones, cars, electronics is one of the reasons why their prices has been within the reach of everybody in Nigeria.

Test em well, you said? How well then? 1 week? I guess we are talking about the real 2nd hand ones, the ones without packets that are sold at computer villa, not the factory refurbished ones.
Nigerians mostly never say summin is factory refurbished. They call it brand new most times.

Most new phones that we buy in Nigria are refurbish, so if you the person selling the second hand phone, the origin and not all type of phone you can buy the second hand. If it comes from UK, and you check it well then you can go for it, all my phones come from Uk, clean, rugged and last longer, therefore watch what you are buying, tak kia, God bless you.

If I don't have enough money to buy a particular phone brand new, I would rather keep saving for it or buy a cheaper one brand new.

Hey maxjax, there's no problem with Chinese-made phones really cos all major phone makers have established plants in China to take advantage of the favourable conditions e.g low labour costs, that exist in that country. They manufacture these phones in China then ship them to Europe, America and elsewhere. It is because of the Chinese plants belonging to Nokia, Sony Ericsson and the rest of them that phone prices are crashing.
