    Why such an obsession with used Pixels? While $300 for mine was expensive, it wasn't a lottery when buying at least, and its battery didn't come pre-worn. Also I had no trouble buying it in cash.

      Because no one should give Google any more money! Buying second hand/refurbished is the only way it makes sense for me to get a device by a large corporation like that.

      I've had a couple of refurbished pixel phones and they've each worked well for years. The battery health was at about 95% when I bought them I think.

        But by that logic, the unofficial reseller I buy from has also already paid Google for the phones they're selling now...

          Google do Google stuff not because they are evil. They do it because they can , which is true for any company in this system. If another takes the position it will do the same. Also its not like phones are Googles main income source. Buying a pixel and putting GOS on it probably is worse for Googles bottom line , no matter new or used, than using a stock any other Android.

            they didn't mean to buy from a reseller who got it directly from google, but to buy from people who had it and are selling it now.
