Among the upcoming smartphones which have been leaking, Google Pixel 3 XL has been on the forefront with several images and videos coming out. And, a majority of leaks are been shared by a Ukranian blogger named as Luchkov who reportedly works for Wylsacom media. However, leaks apart, the blogger has gone a step further and is selling the Google Pixel 3 XL through black market.
Wylscom blog had published a hands-on video of the Google Pixel 3 Xl a few days back. The video had a watermark attached which was a Telegram account. And, as our folks at 9to5Google think, it was to attract buyers of the Pixel 3 XL. They are also reported to sell Google Pixel 2 Xl along with the upcoming handset. The price for which they are offering the Pixel 3 XL is $2000. For buying the smartphone, viewers need to connect with the provided Telegram account holder. However, the source has blurred the account in order to not promote purchasing of the phone from such source.

It is believed that the Pixel 3 Xl handsets' which are available with the sellers, have been stolen and they have a whole bunch of it. Moreover, they don't just have the device but we could spot the box along with user manual and Google Pixel buds. However, it is also believed that this could be a scam for getting buyers while not actually having an intention to deliver the device.
There's no information as to how many units of the smartphone the seller has managed to acquire and has any of them being sold. But, the source acquired information about them offering 10 units to a buyer.
