 Do people actually buy phones and start using them before wiping everything on them? 
I don't actually buy used phones. Too risky. 
But I do have a pixel. I still use it for NFC only. 
NFC is pretty useful. 
I always custom roms.

 This offers users an anon phone from random supplier flashed with Graphene OS by myself. If they so choose. You can also reflash or ask for it stock, I don't care.
