Hi @Gizmo2 

I would stay away from private sell on Kijiji or other marketplaces.   Heard so many stories about blacklisted phones they got from private sell

Buyers beware on Kijiji and other online platforms like Facebook marketplace.  Even if it is initially unlocked or not blacklisted, there are many stories of the seller later blacklisting the phone for various reasons.  If you do purchase an used phone from a stranger, try to keep photo of driver's licence, old receipt, etc.  Meet at a public location (ie. police station) and take somebody with you.  

Public mobile sell used certified iPhones with one year warranty.

Not the newest iPhones though.  iPhone 11 is the latest model priced from $459.

@Gizmo2  iPhone 13 should be able to pick up on Kijiji for around that price point …just Be sure to meet at a Telus store and ensure the device isn’t blacklisted or in contract
