Possible to buy original 3310?

[anon275]

Hi all, I'm trying to find a legitimate place to buy an original Nokia 3310 - NOT the new 2017 model. Does an eBay 'used' listing at £19.99 (about $27) seem genuine?

It's pretty hard to know if some eBay listing is genuine or not just from what you posted, especially since you did not provide a link to it. If it's a known seller it is generally safe. There are a bunch of those phones on eBay for about $30 or less.

The eBay listing is titled 'Original Nokia 3310 MOBILE PHONE BOXED NEW WARRANTY FIRST CLASS UK STOCK', sells at £16.79, and the seller information is 'chyslive (Feedback score: 2821) 98.8% Positive Feedback'

Going by feedback score, it's a real listing, but there are dozens of listing for that phone, why are you worried about this particular one? They all look the same. It's a cheap phone, not a $1,000 Gucci handbag of a $200 video card someone can post a fake for.

It was the cheapest I could find, and I just want to make sure it's a legitimate backup phone before buying it, even if it is not that expensive.
