Phone shops selling Samsung S6 too cheap?

cubix · 2016-08-05 16:05:17

Some third party phones shops in Dublin are selling new S6 for €400. I dont believe they are copies but wondered how they can sell them so reduced. Are they seconds that have been returned to manufactures or are they imported from elsewhere.

The S6 is almost 18 months old now. That price sounds about right.

Probably imported from the UK after currency crashed.

General price in UK is £340 - £375, so if you were buying from a UK source a €400 price would be achievable.
