Cheap mobile phones at convenience stores

Convenience store chains such as GS 25, 7-11 and CU have begun selling cheap mobile phones at their branches. A refurbished used mobile phone costs less than 30,000 won (28 U.S. dollars), whereas a new smartphone can go for as low as 70,000 won (65 dollars). Customers view mobile phones at a GS 25 store in Mullae-dong, Seoul on Friday.
