Besides, it's difficult to trust any reseller, even if they're honest; the risk is quite high

You have a point, but you can minimize the risks by choosing an authorized reseller that has a brick-and-mortar store ^{[you even get to inspect the packaging]}.

I may be wrong, but I think the reason some persons prefer buying from resellers compared to the manufacturer is because of the shipping cost. As it may attract a lesser shipping fee or nothing when they buy from a reseller.

It's worth noting that the lack of a shipping cost on this method doesn't necessarily equate to an overall lower price, as official resellers must make a profit, so buyers will ultimately pay more. Another advantage in taking this route is that it won't lead to any data leaks ^{[if you only use cash]} & future phishing attacks.
