Deal: Grab a refurbished AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for less than $500

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is less than a month away, but in order to get one, customers will have to pay around $1,000 upfront (even more for Europeans). Although Samsung prepares lots of promotions for those who pre-order its new phablet, you'll probably find the best deals at local carriers.

However, if you're not that excited about the Note 9, how about getting the last year Note series flagship for less than half price. It's true that it's a refurbished product, but it's in excellent cosmetic condition, 100% fully functional and tested by expert technicians before being sold.

If that doesn't bother you, you could purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for just $486 via eBay. The AT&T-locked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is only available in Orchid Gray and Midnight Black, and in limited quantities.

Buyers will also get free expedited shipping and 90-day return option. There are some downsides as well such as the fact that the phone does not come with SIM card, microSD memory card, headphones, original packaging or the original manufacturer’s warranty.
