I've only bought one phone new retail, the rest have been used from eBay for my partner and I. I'll typically go with a reseller (they typically have better prices and Buy It Now, instead of individuals who still like the auctions).

I like to support reusing items as a matter of course and am willing to skip out on the unboxing fun, like peeling the stickers off, etc. I don't recall any issue I've had that wasn't resolved quickly by the seller.

I have also gone greener in these past months (not phones only) and I also want to support greener choices!
