I'm extremely leery of used mobile phone stores, and accessory stores as well. Perhaps even more so when it comes to stores that do both repairs, and sell used phones; I expect hybrid phones with aftermarket parts to be sold as originals.
After being offered a very fair trade-in price at this location for my old phone, I was supprised with the openness and honesty of the saleswoman. She happily told me of the margins/profit they expected to make on my phone, and the one I was looking to buy. Both seemed very fair, and the promise of a warranty helped ease my concerns a bit as well.
The phone I planned to trade in is like-new, a recent factory refurbished one I got on warranty. I've never had problems with it, but while they were inspecting it, the battery quickly drained a few percent, something I accounted to iCloud updating based on changing data settings and backups. While the drain wasn't anything drastic, it was enough that the saleswoman had to decline to take it. While this was a bit of a disappointment, it also furthered my impression that JoyOne looks to sell quality phones that they've taken a good, hard look at before they put their name on the line. read more
