Hey, everyone, I saw an ad for this site that gives you money for your old mobile phones. I thought I may as well try it as it was only going to take a few minutes so I inputted the make and model of my old phone (Samsung E800) only to be told they would pay me 94p...!!! I'd rather bin it.

 

LOL! They could have at least rounded it to £1!

 

I got offered a whacking six quid for a mint condition Motorola Razr. I'm not that bloomin eco.

 

Money, money, money...

It never ceases to amaze me how those that pull the strings always want something for nothing.

A case in point is HiFi. That's why we're here on this forum. The margin on consumer electronics is 2.5 times. So, that means, take the retail price for your shiny new piece of kit and divide by 2.5...!!! The result is what your dealer paid for it from the manufacturer. Now you don't have to be genius to work out that the more expensive the item, the more massive is the profit margin. Your dealer is getting all of that money out of your pocket just because he/she has a shop...!!!

It kind of makes secondhand look a lot more attractive. Bring it on ebay...!!!

 

Well, think of it this way. Someone may be making money out of it but you may still be helping the one who ends up with the phone.

OTOH, why not just give it away to someone?

 

Dev, that's exactly what I'll do. I'll wait until I know of someone that wants it and it's a freebie. It's unlocked so it must be of use to someone.

 

or someone who drives a Bentley!


...I thought they just stripped the valuable metals.

 

Will it take a 3 simcard?

My phone took a bit of a soaking the other day and now the 4,6,0 and back keys don't work. Fine for making calls from numbers I already have. But I can't type new ones in and writing texts is a pita too!

I picked up a spare a while ago but ended up giving it away (well... long term loan and don't want to have to ask for it back), and don't want to "upgrade" until my contract's up. I ended up selling my last upgrade on and keeping the old phone. Knew there was the risk itmight not last till the next upgrade was due though.

If it will take a 3 simcard let me know how much you'd like for it if you're willing to sell it?

Or if anyone else has anything cheap but reasonable to take a 3 sim let me know.

MO!
