3) Unauthorized repairs – Devices that have been repaired by unauthorized channels can cause the device to be deficient in certain areas, such as water resistance.
4) Export units – Export units might be locked, or their OS might be localized and locked to the respective countries.
5) Screen condition – Devices with scratched screens or dead pixels will require, often costly, repair and replacement.
6) Other factors such as age, specifications, usage hours and functionality play a part as well.
