A user shares a cautionary experience attempting to buy used Google Pixel phones from Swappa.com for GrapheneOS installation. Despite Swappa staff confirming that 'Unlocked' listings should support bootloader unlocking, three separate purchases from highly-rated sellers (Buyback Surgeon, Sellworld, Supplytronics) all failed to deliver bootloader-unlockable devices. The user lost money in fees and return shipping costs, and warns others that Swappa cannot be trusted for sourcing GrapheneOS-compatible devices.
