Anyone want a Blackberry?
Liam - 18/3/10 at 09:16 PM

Helloooo,

Right I've got this super dooper new Blackberry Bold 9700 as a contract upgrade. I aint touching the thing as it has far too many buttons and I'd just break it anyway. I'm still in love with my indestructable Nokia 5140 so am gonna keep that for yet another year, and sell the Blackberry to put towards something more useful/interesting.

In the past I've flogged unwanted upgrades on Ebay, but the way things seem to be on there nowadays I'm genuinely terrified of selling something like this on there! Far, far too many horror stories of scamming buyers, paypal refunding your money to scamming buyers despite your proof of recorded delivery or whatever, paypal holding your money for a laugh until the scamming buyer [never] leaves positive feedback, etc etc.

I'd therefore love to avoid all that and for it to go to a nice honest locoster, if anyone happens to be interested. Brand new unlocked etc etc (despite being a contract phone vodafone never seem to lock them). Retail seems to be £370 minimum and Ebay price seems to be anything from about £270 to £300 plus. I'd let it go to a friendly Locoster for only £250, say inc postage.

Anyone fancy it? Or failing that anyone know of a less scary place than Ebay to flog it?

Cheers,

Liam

EDIT: Ah sorry I've completely failed to use the for sale section . Feel free to move this, Fozzie/Chris.

If you're serious i'll bring my brand new work phone to the next pub meet. You can have a play - it may tempt you into selling some diffs and buying the phone.

cheers Mike. it is a toss up between blackberry, iPhone and the Google phone.

as for the diffs... yeah, am aiming to sell a couple this summer when i get round to sorting out what driveshafts I need and then get rid of the rest.

if you dont get any takers on here why not consider one of those people who offer tyo sell stuff on ebay for you for a commission. there are a few around locally and typically take 10-15 % and the hassle of the sale.
given that they seem to go for 350 upwards on ebay, you'd still be making more then the 250 you'd be happy to sell for on here

just a thought
