There's a huge market for second hand phones. It's pretty simple - you get a new phone and your locked into a three year contract. Lose your phone and break, and that same phone now costs $400.
For parents this is a nightmare. We even had insurance on our phone, but you only get three claims in a one year period and after that you are denied.
We bought a used phone a few months ago as a back up. It's been used in our family twice now. We just fixed my kid's iPhone for the fourth time; We've spent $400 in repairs to fix cracked screens on this stupid iPhone already.
