> Pixel A's are quite affordable

There's first-world, upper-middle-class affordable (~$500) and then there's global affordable (<$250).

I usually buy refurbs similarly like I buy 2 year old cars.

Currently I can get brand new Pixel 8a on ebay for £250 or similar, and refurbs from "flawless" to mint" conditions for half of it.

Still good enough.

I got a Pixel 7 secondhand (but good condition) for the equivalent of about $270. It would have been less but I needed 256 gb of storage.
