Nexus 5 confusion

[chrisk44]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to buy a LG nexus 5. I looked for it in my country and the 16gb version costs about 340 eur (370 usd), the 32gb version doesn't even exist. So I looked it up on ebay and found the 16gb version for around 150 eur (162 usd) and the 32gb version for 210 eur (227 usd). I also found similar prices on Amazon, but it doesn't ship them to me (Greece). My problem is that I can't afford buying one that is not a real nexus 5 (you know, like an impersonation of the real phone), and these phones from ebay are from Hong Kong, and the 32gb version I found had 2 pictures that the one showed a slightly different back cover that the original one, and I have no idea what to make of it now.

 

What do you think? What is a reasonable price for a brand new nexus 5 in your country? Should I buy it from ebay?

 

Thanks.

Yeah I know that there is a 32gb version, it's just that here noone has it, and that's the one I need. My point is; is there any chance that these phones from ebay will be fake? Because their prices are significantly lower than the original new phones in my country, but here everything is overprices lately due to our economical state. I just wanted to ask; what is a reasonable price of a LG nexus 5 from a reputable manufacturer in other countries?

When Google, Amazon, Best Buy, etc. were clearing out inventory to make room for the 5x the pass couple months I've seen it drop to $150-$199. I think on Black Friday it dropped to $120 for 16 GB but haven't seen any legit ones for lower than that (except used). I'm in the US.

 

Also pretty sure Google starting to finish production in the Fall in anticipation for the 5x launch, so I doubt you will find good deals on *new* 5s

So these relatively cheap phones (230 usd for the 32gb version) are probably legit?

Note that these phones are sent from Hong Kong, I don't know if this should give me hope or make matter worse...
