Refurbished Phones

I wonder if it would be possible for Fizz to partner up with a reputable refurbished/demo phone site where we could buy phones we already know work on the Fizz network but wouldn't have to be run by Fizz. Maybe Fizz members get a discount on phones, or discounts on phones could a be a perk. I don't know the landscape in Canada for companies that sell phones like that, but I am thinking of something like Gazelle.com in the US. Food for thought.

    There are plenty of stores that sell refurbished phones. Would hate for Fizz prices to go up for this.

    I work with the elderly and purchasing phones on ebay and kijiji isn't really an option for most, especially for those (many) who don't have family to help them. Given the attractive pricing of the service, a way to purchase refurbished phones would open up the service to a lot of people. I'd imagine most of us on here are pretty comfortable with and understand how to purchase used phone online and otherwise, unfortunately many are not.
    And to clarify, I don't think Fizz should start selling phones themselves. But partner with a reliable reseller, thus no change in cost for the actual mobile service.
