Ordered Trezor Safe 5 online, check this statement?

I would be wary of getting your hardware wallet from a third party source. Always check for tampering.

I'm not worried about that with my source I found

I think it's much easier to buy second hand in person and examine the device, reset it, flash the latest firmware, create a new private key. Most people were given these as a gift or bought them during the retail mania and now get rid of them with box and papers. you can see who you are dealing with. In any case for large amount use multi sig or 2FA wallet for extra protection in case someone ever finds your key.

That's not very smart, sorry. Have you large sums to load your trezor with you don't it stored on a used device.

You can PM if you like and tell me where you want to pickup such a device! I have connections all over Europe.

can I PM you need someone for this?

I don't think that's an issue, also if it's a second hand device you can restore it with another seed phrase.

okay, if that is your only options it may work for you. I relay on other sources to get the device new with sealed box.

Luckily most attackers are not really that sophisticated, so usually what happens is you get Trezor that was already setup with seed written on piece of paper. Factory reset solves it, but still be cautions.

But would you relay on it?

But would you relay on it?

I would never relay on this and I would also not buy anything used to put 1 million euro on it.

But would you relay on it?

No. I wouldn't, but I also don't trust anything/anyone for this matter. Always diversify (multiple devices/solutions), but also be careful to not over do it.

personally i also dont worry about this. Check for firmware, flash it newly, check for obvious tampering and such and good to go.
