 Yeah even at that price I wonder how @SimplifiedPrivacy.com Podcast is turning a profit if selling for the same price

 The price Google charges retail is different than secondary market commercial wholesale for bulk.  We offer both new and like-new, and for most of the models at a lower price than Google's official store for 1 individual purchase.  However, we can not offer this for all models and sizes.  For example, we charge more for higher storage on newer models.

Like-new means the warranty from google has some or all of the time expired, depending on the model.  But the device has no damage or defect.

For example, we offer the Pixel 9 brand new for lower cost than Google.  And we have the Pixel 6a extremely cheap for like-new, but without a warranty.  The 6a is perfectly fine for most people, and it has 2-3 years of support from GrapheneOS, but if you want the newest model we can do it as well.
