Shopping gadgets online can often prove to be risky. Here are 5 things to follow to avoid purchasing stolen gadgets

However, trusting an e-commerce website with expensive gadgets is the most silliest thing that one can do. Just to save money, people often land up opting for a refurbished unit, which may often include stolen products, rather than going for a brand-new one. This may save your money, but might be a little risky for you.

So, here are 5 aspects to keep in mind while purchasing a gadget or any electronic product online.
Price is Extremely Low
Finding expensive gadgets at a lower price online is a sign that you should never opt for the product. Yes, to be noted, if iPhone is being available at a half of its market price, it's a big NO! NO! to buy the product. The product can be a stolen one, and hence the low price.
No Details of the Product Available in the Listing
While checking out a product, and you find no detail with the listing, and just a plain statement of what it is, you should never purchase that product. In most of the instances, it can be a stolen one, hence no details.

Check For the Serial Number of the Gadget
Well, just in case you're about to purchase a gadget online, ensure to ask for the serial number from the buyer and check for its status. You can check for the status of the serial number you entered online, and if it's a stolen one, it will display that the device has been recorded as stolen. Act smart!
Device is Password Lock
Before you make the payment, ensure to check the device once, and if its password lock, there's no doubt that it's a stolen one. A brand new gadget will never have a password lock.
Bad ESN Can be Risky
A device with a "bad ESN" is not a good option. A bad electronic serial number means the device has a low-performance level. The only option here is to look for a better choice.
