Does anyone want to buy an unused Pixel 10?
I got a new Verizon account in December 2025, and was surprised to learn they'd give me a free phone. I chose a Pixel 10 (128GB, Obsidian).
When I opened the Verizon account, the Verizon employee touched this Pixel 10 just enough to make sure the eSIM was configured, but we never even set up the OS. I moved the eSIM to my phone, so this Pixel 10 has never been used, never even finished the initial boot process.
I think Verizon carrier-locks their phones for 60 days. I got the phone on 12/17/25 so it should be out of carrier lock now.
This Pixel 10 is boot-loader locked and I use GrapheneOS, so it's of no use to me. I tried to sell it on eBay, but they wanted me to upload photos of my ID or some such nonsense, which I won't do. I tried to sell it on Swappa, but they refused because the phone is "financed"*.
This phone is technically in new condition except the plastic seal on the box has been broken.
If you'd like to buy an unused Pixel 10 for $500 + shipping, please send me a private message and we'll work out the details.

Let me know if you have any questions about the phone.
Offers will be considered.
*The "free phone" deal with Verizon is that they charge me the cost of the phone ($800) prorated monthly over 2 years, and each month they also credit me that same amount so the total charge each month is $0.00. If ever I cancel my plan with them, they will charge me the balance.
ooh, I've been wanting to switch to GrapheneOS, this sounds grea--
-- oh okay then.
Is it not unlockable with the usual fastboot fiddling?
I haven't tried, but my understanding is that if the manufacturer/provider locks the boot loader, there is nothing you can do about it.
