Hey, person, piece of advice. This is for the USA so apologies if you're not there.

Go to a big Walmart right after the regular work day, 5:15pm or so. Go when it's busy. Don't worry, you won't be giving them any money, I'm boycotting them and would never advise that.

Bring some cash. $40, $50, something. Break it up into five dollar bills. Bring your phone.

Right inside the entrance there are usually vending machines. Soda machines, key making kiosk, etc. One of these is a machine where you can sell your own phone. You just go through a rigamarole and answer questions, you give it your phone through a slot, it gives you either cash or a gift card or something. I don't remember.

Hang out next to this phone-buying machine. Look at your phone. If a Walmart greeter tries to find out what you're doing (they won't), claim you're thinking about selling your phone and looking into the machine online to see how it works, whether it's a good idea, etc. You can even actually read about this on your phone so you're not even lying about that.

Sooner or later someone will come in to sell their phone to the kiosk. I have done this three times (for BOINC) and it has taken less than ten minutes each time, but ymmv.

Explain to them that you want to buy a phone. Cooperate with them. If the kiosk is offering them $10, offer them $20. Make sure the phone is wiped, you want them to be happy and you don't want their info anyway.

Don't forget to do the research (in your phone) to make sure their phone will work with your carrier.

Hey presto, a decent phone that's probably only a couple of years old, for remarkably little money or hassle.

The most amazing part is how the water droplet magnifies the Hornet's mouth parts, so you get to see them up-close!!!! It was FASCINATING to witness!

Here's some of my favorite still shots from that video:

The main thing I observe is that a lot of employees recommend makeup that is chemically incompatible. For example, if you ask them to recommend you a foundation and concealer, a lot of times they’ll pick two products that are chemically immiscible, so they’ll NEVER blend together successfully.
