New Note 9 worth it?

[gray2018]

I am considering purchasing a new Note 9 since they have them brand new on ebay for around 300 bucks.

I am in general looking for an older style flagship device. Despite not being updated any longer, I feel for the amount of features you get with the Note 9 and being brand new for only 300 bucks, is a pretty solid deal. Even used, if I could find the 512gb version, that would also be quite good.

Several other devices also come to my mind besides the Note 9... the S10+, LG V60, LG G8X.

IMO, that's a lot of money for a device that won't get anymore updates and is 3 1/2 years since release. Excepting the 512gb storage, what other features of the N9 are worth it to you? I ask because there are plenty of other options available for that price that are only a year old, or maybe new, that should have similar hardware excepting the storage.
