No. We believe the planned obsolescence economy is a fraud and should be stopped. The phones we are selling are used but in "mint" or "near mint" condition. Those which are not in as good of shape work just fine but may have small scratches on the screen or blemishes on the phone. As such, they are priced accordingly. With nearly 15 billion mobile phones on the planet and a population of only 8 billion, there are an almost infinite supply of used phones in great condition that work extremely well. There is absolutely no need to manufacture new devices requiring the mining of more precious metals out of the earth using what we know are abhorent labor conditions in countries such as China and Africa.

A huge reason why Apple, Google and other phone manufacturers continue to come out with new "upgraded" devices are so they can run more background applications which are intended to process your activities and spy on you MORE easily. They sell you the "sizzle" of an upgraded camera or digital personal assistant while they quietly leverage the device to further monitize you while feeding your information into their personal "cloud" repository.
