Hi guys, i saw some Carousel listings brand new 13 Pro Max 512gb for Rm5.7k - 5.9k,
below retail price and they mention it's US set,
any cons for buying from them?

As a general rule, I stay away from Carousell.
So far I've bought from Carousell without any issues, of course the items are not priced as much as the iPhone. Mostly action figures etc. The most expensive item I bought was a used PS4 Pro bundle with games.
I've read scams on Carousell (in FB groups) that the seller pressures buyer into not using the Carousell Protection (extra payment) or payment via Carousell app cause the payout takes too long. Due to that, the scammer requests for direct transfer of funds.
That's the only risk I heard of so far. For peace of mind, I think better to get locally/retail.
