That's sad, because one of Swappa's main selling points (and the reason they got popular) is that they started out as a marketplace for Android phones, and should specifically know about rooted / bootloader unlocked / etc. phones. Enthusiast stuff.

Their About page says:

> The inspiration for Swappa sparked when Ben had trouble finding a good source for test devices for Android development projects.

I guarantee you that most people buying used phones are more concerned if the phone will work with their existing phone plan than if they can use it as a development testbench.
