I posted this in the general forum but i guess i should've posted it here.

i just bought the xv6800 off ebay and naive old me thought it was brand new and the seller told me it was a $50 replacement and it still has a warranty card for 12 months since November.

Here are my problems. Asurion sends out only refurbished phones! I think I payed a lot for a refurbished phone, I'm thinking about asking the seller to give me a discount of at least $30 if not $50. Secondly I don't know how the warranty will transfer. My understanding was that Asurion was a subscription service not a one time thing. I'm just worried the warranty doesn't transfer with users. From what I've read in the past people have terrible experience with them so I would like to know if that's still the case.

What should I do? I am losing faith in the idea of getting reliable XV6800 for a fair price. Maybe I should just wait for a different phone and buy a temp phone to replace my broken phone for now.
