Buy a LG G2 LS980 in 2017?

[Layarion]

There is one of these phones availible on ebay for $50, with shipping included. It appears to be in fine condition and is claimed to be fully functional.

I lost my phone a few months back and need an affordable replacement.

I will use it for the following:
1) Watching Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, that stuff.
2) Taking Pictures to sell things (but only as a light hobby)
3) Listening to audio books
4) Scanned books/pdf file viewing.
5) Perhaps skype and discord
6) Language learning video games, as well as other games like perhaps "Shadowrun Returns" (but not neccisary to fulfil that last game)
7) Other apps like OfferUp.

The phone seems old, but better than the iphone 4s that i had. My main concerns would be apps that tell me "you can't use this app because you need android version x.x.x" and that is can watch Youtube and at least play light games without struggling.

I thought it was a good phone. If that seems like a deal to you, jump in it!

I'm still using a LG G2 and love it! Legit, it's a solid phone even today.

While it old, I still have two functioning ones as backups. They have outlived 5 bootlooped G4s and a V10. The G2 was a solid phone, evidenced by its still running all these years later. I liked it so much that I have suffered through all the subsequent returns of all the other phones. Wish they could replicate the reliability of the G2 in a current phone.
