So I checked their shipping policy and apparently shipping (to european countries) costs about 10 euros. Adding import sales tax (15-35 euros) and another national delivery fee (at least 12,50 euros). So ,could one end up paying over 60 euros more than the actual price for the phone ?
Anybody know if Aliexpress could be a more viable option ?

I bought my second A5 from them three days ago and the delivery cost by DHL (to Europe) was $17,64 plus $9,45 for PayPal payment processing. And the tax (23% VAT) is $65. They put a lower price of the phone in papers but the customs office wanted the original invoice and other documents from me anyway so no cheating here.
Personally, I would not dare buying anything from Aliexpress.
Why are you hesitating? It's a great phone is you don't mind a black/white display. I got the original version (no google play in both cases - I was afraid a rooted phone might cause problems). No google play means a little bit more work (like an hour or two to find and install all necessary and working apps from F-droid and Aurora) but there's nothing I'm missing now.
To answer your other question, I don't know how easy it would be to resell it. I'd say only people who really value their eyesight or have light intolerance issues are interested in e-ink so you'd have to find a person like that. I won't be selling mine. I'll try and fix the issue I have once I get the new phone.
