I have successfully purchased 3 phones used in the classified ads (kijiji.com in my case). I  bought an LG G3 that I subsequently resold, and I currently have 2 Google Pixel 3's, one the daily driver the other a backup phone.

I'm running CalyxOS on my Pixel 3's. They only support a few models of phones, mind you, compared to LineageOS. I personally fnd the LineageOS ecosystem a fairly toxic place. I'd feel better with Graphene or Calyx myself.
