Yeah I'm looking to buy used. My 6 Pro will stop receiving updates this year. Edit I guess that alone is a good reason for me not to use Amazon. I'm not sure if it's safer in any way tho as far as receiving the phone as advertised without a messed up camera.
For second hand, user-to-user sales via EBay and Vinted are the cheapest, but it takes more effort and you could get scammed.
I've bought a few devices second hand at a second hand electronics shop. In the UK, this could be CeX, for example. With many of these you'll get a limited warranty, and you can walk into a shop and ask to look at the phone and ask questions. You can ask if it is locked and return it if you can't use it.
