Well, the K700i sold for £51 this time round, still a profit though! My only worry is that the buyer was a zero rated bidder in France. He's paid via Paypal, and I'm posting the phone this afternoon, but just have a niggling worry this guy's going to try a chargeback on me or something. I'm sending the phone International Signed For to reduce the risk of that, fingers crossed nothing untoward happens, or the experiment will have come to an undignified end!

I've decided now also to include non faulty phones, in the phones I am after as part of this experiment, as they seem to sell for a lot more on Ebay than they can be bought on here.
So I'm going to incorporate into the experiment and exploit the difference between buying phones here on Esato, and seeing how much more (if anything) they go for on Ebay. Of course, I'd only be interested if the price was right, otherwise I'll stick to faulty fixie-uppies.
I actually also now have a pristine 6100 to sell, and a fully working 3410, I might get those listed too. If they go for the right amount, I could be getting close to £100!
Not a bad return really. Admittedly it has taken a long time to get to this stage, but as I said before, I'm probably not devoting enough time to this (and keeping this thread up to date!) as I should be, because of real life, work, girlfriend, etc.!

Got the first of my next phones for the next stage of the experiment! It's a Motorola V3 RAZR that needs a new screen, and probably a new housing. It might be cheaper for me to buy a V3 that doesn't power up, and simply swap the mainboard around, will have to see when I get the phone. I have just over £23 left, and will hopefully tomorrow list that 6100 and 3410 for a bit more cash towards my next phone/spare parts.

Just come across one minor stumbling block on my next sales....
Was going to list that couple of Nokias, and just realised I've not got any chargers for them! Possibility of buying a couple of chargers so far (thanks Dealer3
) but need another one! Then will list.

Awesome this seems to be going well ? Could you give a kind of summary or something? on the first page, like starting money, current money, phones at hand, phones sold or something, up to you, but I think that could be quite cool!

Next two phones are now up for sale, a Nokia 6100 that's in as new condition, and a T68i which someone donated to me. It's fully working, but locked to T-Mobile, and I can't get it to unlock sadly! It will be interesting to see what it goes for! The link for the auctions is in my signature
Will try to do that 'status report' later this evening

im sure you said before that you nearly had £100 so with the sales of these phones and any others you have should bring you above the £100 making your goal complete but im sure you will carry on. you could always convert one of my old phones into a w800 as long as i can keep it (the w800)
