Google Nexus 5X during its release in October 2015 cost $379 for the 16GB variant and $429 for the 32GB model. Techno trading house, eBay's top-rated seller, is selling the 16GB model for just $240, with free shipping.

While eBay's offer is free of any shipping fee, the device does not come with a warranty. This may mean that if a user drops the device and crack a component, the repair will be shouldered by the buyer.

The Google Nexus 5X, despite the non-warranty policy, is a mid-range device with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The smartphone became a launch vehicle for the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.

Google included the device in the list of supported handsets when the developer preview of the Android N was launched, alongside the Android TV, Google Nexus 6P, Google Nexus 9.
