Yes, 1 month old for 21k is a good deal, just check for scratches or other marks, and check the display as well(for tinting).

And as a phone i9100 is pretty solid sub 25k. And it has huge dev support over at XDA.

Check for name of shop on bill, check for Vat No, call the store(from phone no.) to see if it exists etc. Surefire way is to go to the shop and show the bill to them if that's possible for you.

I am always skeptical about these deals. If someone is willing to sell a 1 month old Galaxy S2 so cheaply, there has to be a catch somewhere. Perhaps there is a defect which might not be immediately obvious to a first time user.

If I were you I would not only verify the originality of the phone but also make an arrangement with the seller to pay 50% money upfront and 50% a week later if that's possible.

I don't see a problem then. I assume the phone is under warranty, so if any defect crops up, you can get it replaced/repaired. Go for it, sounds like a great deal.

Btw why is the guy selling it a month after purchasing it himself?

Why not buy a new one, as I don't think you will get a deal like this again.
