Has anyone bought from CompuTronics604? Looking to get a S9

I found this dealer on craigslist
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/...725689664.html

Has anyone had any experience with them before?

Is there anything I should know before buying a cellphone online? The immediate things that come to mind are fake cell phones, refurbished cell phones, stolen cell phones.

The fact that he has a brick and mortor store is reassuring and I talked to him on the phone already and everything seems well. He said there is a 10 day warranty through him, but he can't provide the manufacturer warranty because he can't give me a receipt.

Any help would be great.

Thanks RS

^Thanks for that video. I think there's enough information in that video to help me out.

I think the curved glass will be a dead give away. Hard to manufacture that

It just seems expensive for a used phone

I bought a new S9 when it first came out for $750 directly from samsung plus tax.

I dont remember the exact details, but they gave me $200 for trade in, and my crappy phone was worth $50 so it was 250 off. the phone i traded in was an iPhone 5

LOOKS LIKE it is still happening, but only for the bigger samsung s9:

Thats only for the note 9. The price for the S9 is the cheapest I have seen it.
