From what I gather the web site backmarket.com doesn't actually sell anything. They're just a central hub for others to sell their hardware.

Re: Broke my phone pretty badly...

Anyone ever sold a used damaged phone?

Seems I can get $70 for my broken/damaged Pixel 3 XL.

https://www.sellcell.com/phones/google-pixel-3-xl/

Claims for a Verizon, 64GB, Pixel 3XL with damaged screen but still fully functional phone for $70 and they'll pay for shipping.

Seems like a no-brainer.
