Samsung's current favorite child is the Galaxy Note 4. With a 2K 5.7″ screen, 3 GB RAM, and a Snapdragon 805 2.7 GHz processor, the phablet is a premium device with a premium price. To buy it new off-contract, you'll have to drop anywhere from $700-900. That's just not possible for most of us reasonable folk, so we either sign ourselves over to a wireless company or buy used. Buying used can be a hazard, as eBay has been known to be a treacherous place to go for someone looking to get a quality device, and Craig's List can be treacherous for anyone involved. One way to insure you're getting a great used device is to buy Pre-Owned from a carrier.
Good news comes from Verizon's website: the Note 4 is available used for only $490, off-contract, Certified Pre-Owned. If you're wondering, Certified Pre-Owned means it has been inspected and verified to be working by Verizon, so you won't get a smashed up pile of spare parts. The deal is a great one, so don't expect it to last long: I'd advise hurrying over to Verizon's website and purchasing yourself a Note 4 ASAP if you're in the market for one. This is not a deal that you will have the opportunity to take advantage of everyday.

Pay $500 for someone else’s used phone sight-unseen with no guarantee? No thanks. I’ll wait until I can upgrade and get it new for $150 in a few months.
Hmm, wonder if they’re refurbished or simply inspected and passed on with whatever dings or scratches were on the device when returned.
Generally the latter.
