Try buying on Facebook

Facebook has become a great place to buy/sell goods as it lets you see the seller's profile (to an extent at least), their activities on the group where the goods are being sold, and check what others are offering for the same smartphone.
It also lets you warn others of a bad product being sold by sellers.

Look for warranty

Many a times, buyers upgrade their smartphones soon after buying a handset, sometimes even within months. This means that official warranty is still valid on these handsets, making them an excellent buy for you. So, obviously, look for sellers who are looking to sell phones with (at least some) warranty.

Also, keep an eye out for smartphones that have third-party warranties, since these also mean that you get some damage protection, which is better than none.
