Buy a V40 for $150 or keep my Stylo 4?

[etad putta]

So my second phone is a LG Stylo 4 on T-Mobile. It's pretty good for what I use it for but I know LG flagships don't hold their value and a nice V40 can be had for $150 on eBay. Sell the Stylo afterwords for $50 and I'm into the V40 for a hundred. Good plan or not?

An LGv40 for $150 is kind of high. I've seen cheaper. Is it brand new in sealed packaging?

What happens if you don’t get $50 you expect.

Agreed with this observation.

The V40 is used but in excellent shape according to the seller. I guess I will try to find a lower price. Sad how the LG phones drop in value. As for the Stylo, I'm ok with whatever I get out of it.

I don't want to spend your money but Amazon has an LG V60 yes 60 for something like $450 so if you take off the hundred and fifty instead of throwing it away on a used v40 who's condition you don't even know and I got screwed why what was a so-called brand new phone on eBay for my first to be 20 , then then you're basically paying $300 for brand new V60. I am using my v20 is a spare but I just put in $26 for new 6800 battery which I have to tell you really makes such a difference because his phone was really screwing up with all the little batteries that were dying and not making proper connection, and then I really need to get one of those $45 kits to fix the screen so now I'm talkin about $71 for a pretty slow phone. so I was actually thinking I'm getting the V60 yeah, taking off the $71 and I'm basically getting a new a new V60 for $380. and then I'll use the v40 I have is a spare and that's what I will use as much as I can on Wi-Fi and that's green is great and I can also use it for listening to books at night. now we're talkin about top quality phones and quite frankly I would never spend 12 or 13 or $1,400 for a phone and then I would have to get insurance because it's so expensive and before you know it with the sales tax in the insurance and the new supplies you close to $1,800. So thankfully LG has great deals on phones. I would hate the idea that I have a phone that cost me almost $2,000 from my pocket. the LG v40 I got now I'm basically paying $480 for over 30 months so it's a little over $15 a month and I have another here to go. but I like the idea of having a backup, a good backup so if I have to send the phone back to LG I will have something else to use.

And then you will have the Stylo 4 as a backup. What are you going to do with if the phone goes down and you have to send it away for two weeks sometimes they take 3 weeks and with covid who knows.

I bought a V40 for $140. Would have liked a V60 but I will wait a while until they are in the 150 range. The V40 is really nice! I really hope LG is able to stay in the market as some killer deals can be found on their devices! I'm pretty heavy into the Apple side but even there I try to save a buck or two. iPhone SE 2020, M1 Mac mini, etc, but for a free line I obtained from Tmobile I really like to have an android device for YouTube Vanced. LG phones fill my needs quite well!

Congrats - The V40 is a great phone. I still have mine as a backup to my V60.

Same here.. I have my V40 as a back up to my V60. In fact the only reason i went to the V60 was dual speakers and 5G. Im on TMO and i get solid 5G.
Otherwise id still be using the V40.
