I am kinda paranoid when it comes to hardware wallet. What if the seed is leaked or tampered.
snip

i'll sell it to u if u wants, for 3k, lemme know..

I would never do that. I won't recommend anyone buying a second hand hardware wallet.
The major reason is it can be tampered and we can never know if the hardware is corrupted.
We would lose all our earnings in a jiffy.

Make sure whoever is buying an hardware " There have also been cases of customers receiving fraudulent hardware wallets. These bogus wallets include malware, allowing attackers to steal private keys and drain your accounts. "

i saw few complains regarding this. If want to hold something offline for long why not use paperwallet instead ?

Even I have read people buying new wallets but received wallets which were tampered in between and people lost funds.
This is why it is always said to buy only from official websites only.
