Buying new is still screwing yourself over. Buy second hand and take advantage of all the fools thinking they have to upgrade every year.

Most used pixels are oem locked verizon ones. They say unlocked, but they only mean carrier unlocked.

You can check the model number to tell if it's an OEM. I got my last phone off Swappa which allows you to filter by stuff like model number and condition.
