Of course I have nothing against the T68i, it just makes a good starting point.
I'm tempted to find another cheap 'fixie uppie' to keep for myself!
Few minutes left guys/girls!

Well, the phone sold for £16, or £19.95 including postage!
Made a nice bit of profit, hopefully enough to get a faulty T610 or equivalent to fix up.
So I'm now looking for a phone with a fault for £20, or less than £20 to account for buying any new parts the phone needed.
I'm going to start here on Esato first to see what faulty phones people have before hitting Ebay, take a look
HERE for the thread I've started!

I now have my next phone, well I will when I get it hopefully tomorrow!
It's an unlocked Motorola V500, though this one's fully working. I'm going to put it on Ebay and hopefully make a profit - think I've got a bargain there as that's the price you could pay on Ebay for a faulty V500!
Masseur's also sold me a Nokia 8250 that doesn't power up for a pound, be interesting to see if I can get that working also! If not, I bet I could sell that for spares and hopefully make a couple of quid on it

Recieved the V500 today!
All's well with it, nice little phone, had a black/silver facia fitted. I'll post a picture of it (as well as the T68i) later too
Just as an example of how this can potentially work, I bought a Samsung D500 with a 'scrambled' screen fault for £56.55 inc. postage. After taking it apart and fiddling with the data ribbon between the phone and PCB ensuring it was pushed in correctly, the phone now works fine!! So I've bought a £130-£150 phone for a about a third of it's value
Might keep that one for a while as I rather like it

The next phone in the experiment is now up for sale on Ebay!!
A nice Motorola V500 and charger, unlocked to any network, fully working. Nice little phone!
Link to the auction is now in my signature, feel free to have a bid or ten

Seems to be going well, I see the phone has not yet had a bid but has 2 days to go. How much did you pay for this?

Not sure if I should put the price I paid for it as it might put people off - but you could probably guess - I had £20 from the sale of the T68i, and I couldn't pay any more than that!
Oh yes, nearly forgot, I haven't posted any photos yet:
The phone that started it all - the first T68i:
Which then funded the V500 which is now for auction in the link in my sig:
