What's the best way to get a new, unlocked pixel (any supported version) for < $500 without needing to have a new contract with a carrier?
Just keep an eye on slickdeals? Wait till a new version comes out and look for sales on the old version?
I got mine used from best buy, lots of used phones with low mileage
If in the states, micro center carries refurbished models under 500.
Honestly i'd just get a renewed pixel 8
