Second-hand electronics in Salt Lake City typically sells for $11 to $1,200. How long the maker will keep issuing security updates now sets the floor, and a device past that date falls away quickly whatever its condition.

Buying electronics in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City sits in a valley between two mountain ranges beside a saline lake, laid out on an unusually generous grid centred on a temple square. World-class ski resorts are within an hour and the city hosted a winter olympics.
Nothing here can be checked for a lock or a block from a photograph, and a handset barred by its network is worth almost nothing however good it looks. Trying it on the spot, with the seller present, is the only reliable test there is.
What to check in person
Run it for a good ten minutes rather than a moment, because overheating and sudden restarts only appear once it is warm. Try every port with a cable actually in it, and look along the seams for a case that has been opened before.
Collecting it in Salt Lake City

The grid makes addresses genuinely easy to find and driving is straightforward. Winter inversions trap poor air in the valley for days, and canyon roads close in storms.
