Short answer — Honor phones aren’t widely sold new through major U.S. carriers/retailers, so the best U.S. deals right now are usually unlocked/import or used listings from marketplaces (eBay, Swappa, Amazon Marketplace, Swappa/Swappa-like sellers). Typical current bargains I find:

• Honor 90 Pro (unlocked, 256 GB) — many used/import listings around ~$290–$330 on eBay. (eBay.com)
• Honor Magic5 Pro (high‑end) — used/non‑US unlocked listings typically in the ~$390–$770 range depending on storage/condition; Swappa shows higher “Buy Now” averages for fully unlocked listings. (eBay.com)
• Older / budget Honor models (X/X6 series or entry models) — cheapest options often appear on Amazon Marketplace or third‑party sellers and in international listings; prices vary but you can sometimes find sub‑$150 deals on very recent budget models (region‑locked or import units may apply). (market listings vary). (thesun.co.uk)

Why you see these patterns

• Honor no longer has a large official U.S. carrier distribution for most phones, so most U.S. inventory is imported, refurbished, or sold by third‑party sellers. That’s why marketplace prices and conditions vary. (Swappa.com)

How to get the best practical deal (step‑by‑step)

1. Shop trusted marketplace options first: Swappa (buyer protections for used/unlocked phones), Amazon Marketplace (check seller rating), and eBay (filter to high‑rated sellers). Look for listings that explicitly state “unlocked for U.S. GSM (AT&T/T‑Mobile) bands.” (Swappa.com)
2. Compare total landed cost: add shipping, import fees, and any taxes — many cheap listings ship from overseas and may have extra fees. (eBay.com)
3. Check warranty and returns: imported phones often lack U.S. warranty support — prefer sellers who offer returns or a short seller warranty. (eBay.com)
4. Inspect band compatibility: confirm the model supports the LTE/5G bands your carrier uses (especially important for Verizon). If you need carrier provisioning (e.g., eSIM vs physical SIM), confirm the phone supports it. (No single source — verify per listing/specs.)
5. Prefer recent refurbished units or “seller refurbished” with good photos and tested status over “untested” listings. Swappa enforces certain listing checks and is safer for used phones. (Swappa.com)

Where to watch for the best short‑term deals

• eBay — many low‑price new/import and used units (watch seller rating & location). (eBay.com)
• Swappa — safer used/used‑like marketplace; prices are often close to fair market and listings show condition. (Swappa.com)
• Amazon Marketplace / Amazon Warehouse — sporadic deals on unlocked or renewed units; check “Renewed” or Warehouse for savings. (search Amazon for the specific model.)
• Local classifieds (OfferUp / Facebook Marketplace) — sometimes very good prices for local pickup but inspect in person.

If you want, I can:

• look up current live listings for a specific Honor model you care about (Honor 90 / Magic5 Pro / X-series) and return the best 3–5 offers with links and pros/cons (I’ll include seller rating, price, condition, and likely compatibility).

Which model do you want me to check live listings for? (If you want me to proceed now I’ll pull current marketplace listings and compare.)
