Wanting to buy a phone

Giulia from Newtown

Hello neighbours,
My phone died and I'm in need of a new one. I don't want to buy a new one as I always try to buy second-hand. I also don't really care what it looks like as long as it performs basic functions hehe.
Does anyone have a spare phone that they are willing to sell?

Kiwi will be back in Wellington within 12 months.
Capital Kiwi’s mission to restore a wild kiwi population to the west coast of Wellington is bang on schedule, with all 4400 traps now on the ground, and the kiwi release on track for the end of 2021.
The restoration of native bush in Makara, as well as predator control efforts, have found a common goal in the return of the big brown kiwi, rōwī.
Before humans settled New Zealand, rōwī lived throughout the northern South Island and into the southern North Island, as far north as Hawke’s Bay.
