Absurd is nothing so please keep calm , if you are selling an international unit here price should be accordingly .5949 AED in Dubai, translates roughly to about130k INR.
Anyway, shouldn't you then get one from Dubai if you can get the same and why even bother with a 2nd/3rd/4th hand device here?
Also, Dubai to and fro ka ticket muft mein milna hai na? Ya jo leke aayega wo cutoms walon ka beta hai?
This is precisely why this place is turning way worse than OLX! Thanks to you man!

Another point to add in this discussion wrt Apple's devices - Apple provides 100% global warranty unlike any other brands. Samsung gives f*all to int'l warranty.
Apple's device pricing is strange around the world - The device in USA for 100 bucks sells in Dubai for 115 and in India for 165!
The reason why buying Apple products from USA or KSA/Dubai is that the price is appealing as opposed to what the same stuff costs in the Indian market.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max 512GB retails for 170k in India - you can get one brand new for close to 160k here - Indian retail unit.
The rates in Dubai/HK etc is close to 130k, let's not add any customs or the cost of shipping etc, and not even the cost of the case and screen guard, and even the additional stuffs I had added - a Belkin charger, a Samsung S6 (dead), wireless charger and so on, and my asking price @ 125k for the device (with case, screen guard, charger, shipping & insurance) or 130k including the other stuffs... seems not that far fetched right?

The 1st person that bought this phone hadn't even used it @Mainak777 so it was bought brand new by him/me makes 0 difference. Whether he bought it for 150k or 60k was not my concern when I bought it from him, and whether I bought it for 140k or 120k from him barely makes any difference to the listed price, or does it? I understand that the purchase price of any product and the selling price here aren't in any sort of conjunction - there are people that buy stuff in sale, sell it again for the same price/profit and that, as per the rules of the forum, is alright.

So when we compare the price of a product retailing in an XYZ country to the available price is India is strange. There are additional costs that a person conveniently seems to bury with that logic.

I have no issues with people making offer on here - but the entitlement that they seem to carry and throw around is absurd!

I guess we all need to lowball in such manner now ::
Any listed device : USA mein price 20% kam hai. 50% kam kar ke dega to bata, nahin to bhaad mein jaa!
And it definitely matters how many times the phone has been used and sold to different people , it always matters be it anything .
If i am getting a used phone almost same price from uae whats the point of buying from you that too without an invoice .
Theres no additional cost at all , No one flys specially to uae to get a phone .
comparing price of a product in another country to india is not strange all . Dont just say anything without processing .
Lowballing is crapping the thread without genuine interest i was intenting to buy this for my brother
Definitely ill get it from uae , because you are selling for the same price . anyone would be doing the same provided they have resources and time .
If the listed device is bought in another country , and is being resold twice , cost is calculated by original invoice . Not by adding dead phones , tempered glass and flying tickets and hotel stays .
By the model number technically either Hongkong or Arab doesnt make a difference and its not an assumption , i dint call you in to fight on the sellers behalf :0Again the Same Question how do you know at What price did i buy it?? Dont just make assumptions.. Speak Technically..
If you were genuinely interested, you would have approached the seller via PM..Not talking about Ethics just based on your own assumptions..And by the way its not UAE unit which you are talking about..you have already made up your mind by going to UAE (Going to UAE & coming back here is free i assume?) and get your self a new One for 1.23L..
This is not an Indian device , so price accordingly .ethics ki class laga lo na yahaan!
whether it was bought for 300k or 50k is irrelevant. It costs 170k to buy it IN India. It costs 130k to buy it IN Dubai.
The asking price takes into account the current rates and the depreciating prices of similar devices across various reselling platforms.
You tried to be over smart and lowball and got called out for it.
I can buy a 100k phone for 50-60k and sell it here for 70k if someone is interested in buying - economics?
