Developer edition

Buying a Nexus 6 via Craigslist. Seller claims used for developing. Photos of the device doesn't have nexus logo on back cover. Does a device exist? Is it legit?

There is no "developer" edition. The Play Store Nexus 6 is as pure as you can get, and it is what developers use. Sounds sketchy to me if it doesn't have Nexus logo. I wouldn't buy it.

Buy it new with a warranty for only $499.

Sounds very shadey. Use swappa (where you can dispute payments through PayPal if needed) or just buy new.

If a seller claims it was "used for developing", then he or she could be referring to things such as app or rom development. Does the ad specifically state "developer edition"? Also, the no logo on the back could just be a skin that covered up the letters.

Thank you guys, I think will try swappa or get new.

Here are some photos tho just for reference.

It looks like a developer (early edition) nexus. How much?

 

[eao1991]

Yup definitely looks like those early dev prototypes.

$385, bite or pass?

I'd pass. I personally don't trust used phones. Who knows if it's been dropped/abused battery, etc....... for $100 more I can get a new N6 with peace of mind. (and a warranty)

Could be sim locked. I remember somebody bought one but they couldn't get a sim unlock code since it was an early build. It was locked to at&t.
