I reserve what I taught. But I am asking you guys and ladies here. Because its very important. The way Nigerians patronise second hand smart phones is alarming especially in Alaba and ikeja market. Why would someone pay 80k to buy an iPad (second hand) when he/she can use that money to buy a new smartphone?

Nigerians have grown from buying devices based on budget alone, they now require certain specifications. So it makes sense to buy a fairly used samsung J7 than a Tecno Spark k9

More comment please

Xiaomi Redmi note 5, so far that design has been a rumour, the front especially will likely not turn out to be.

No 1 is budget. most reasons circle around it. another is to belong . you know all these followership thing. devout and loyal fans.
No 2 is specifications. this one is another big factor. example is chipsets segregation, Processor, Ram and Rom sizes, camera, etc.
Also brand Name is another factor take a demograph of fairly used phones purchased you'll see.

I have learn to buy electronic not second hand but new... No matter what it is coming as second fiddle have something in question.

If you buy a brand new Tecno Phantom phone for 100k today and decide to sell it tomorrow, trust me, nobody will price it above 60k but if you should buy a clean used Samsung S6 for 50k and maintain it well for a year, you can still sell it above 40k.

Also if everybody decides to buy new phones, who would buy the one you are tired of using?

My one one only reason is value for money. If you know the right places to look, you will get second hand phones at ridiculous prices and no, they are not stolen phones. I am talking about legit phones directly from the first buyer, clean ones for that matter, so what's the sense in buying a new iphone 6 for almost 100k when i get get it for 45k or less?

I Buy What My Money Can Aford, I Don't Buy Secondhand Of Anything.

Cute, I've never been a fan of seconds hand devices ever. I love my things new. That camon CM is cool too

I bought used blackberries way back when coz i wanted a blackberry and the new one was too expensive.

The reason is that we want to experience phones that aren't in our budget.

Now, if i have 100K, i won't buy an iPhone 6, i would buy an Infinix Note 4 Pro or Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro coz I'm older and wiser lol
