UPDATE: back at RefurbLane to hopefully find x2 affordable iphone 11 or newer. Tired of sifting through tons of over-used, overpriced devices and scams from other secondhand device sources. My RefurbLane Note9 is still going strong! I'm on it now, battery life still amazing, phone has held up strong & still in same cond. I got it, even after some clumsy fumbles over the last 1-2 yrs. Broke my own stylus and discovered it wasn't OE but worked great til I launched it! OE stylus or not, worked til I murdered it, lol!
Orig Review: Ok, I was super nervous about buying a phone on RefurbLane as they're lesser known than the other online giants. I'd just had a bad Note 9 purchase from the major online auction site. That phone arrived not as described, poor condition, was very slow & had an incompatible, older model s-pen. Of course it went back.
After much research I took a chance with RefurbLane. Ultimately the 12 month warranty here won over the major online giant's 90 day warranty. I bought a Lavender Note 9 from seller Mobile Top Deal. I contacted seller with my concerns/bad experience & they certainly did not disappoint! "Mint" cond. was sold out so had to buy "very good" instead. Admittedly I'm kinda picky (but not unrealistic) & the phone I recieved is very near mint & had a screen protector already installed which was nice. Popped in my sim, micro sd, added a case & different screen protector & have been using it a few weeks now w/no issues. Now I'm back again for another Samsung phone or my son.
I highly recommend RefurbLane & seller Mobile Top Deal! Other sellers are prob great too but I did scrutinize all the feedback & chose Mobile Top Deal based on that..... (the picky thing again!) xD
