No chance I just done a check & they said that my current handset is worth £36 where as I can sell my current handset for at least £200 on ebay.

You will always make more money selling a mobile handset on ebay rather than on one off those sites.

OMG £36 for the TYTN II!

I will give you £40 for it now!!

The TYTN II has a higher value rating than the N95.

But at least it is going to a good cause

"Most of the phones are sent for reuse in markets such as China, Africa, Pakistan and India helping to bring improved and more widespread communications to these developing economies."

As if I give a flying f**k on any of the above. In this day of age you have to look after no 1.

If they think I am going to sell any half decent handset to them for the price of £36 then they have another thing coming

Ain't that the truth. Anyone who sells to this company must either be.

(1) Part of the Anti Ebay Brigade.

(2) Have enough money already.

(3) Are selling the phone to get a fix of somekind.

I can see this company going T*ts up very soon

some handsets are worth a look
£45 for an n73 -- thats pretty good for a used phone
you dont need any extras--just phone and battery!!

Anyone tried envirofone? They buy phones from you. I got offered around £50 for my old Sony Ericsson K750i and K800i phones. I've still not sent them in yet though.

I sold my N95 recently to Mazuma for £120, I posted by Special Delivery and got the cheque sent to me in less than 1 week. It was locked to T-Mobile so wouldn't have got much more on eBay by the time I took off the fees. I only had to post off the phone and battery, I sold the box and accessories for £30 on eBay so great result.

Lookslike you got a good sell. I just checked at selling them my Vario III & they offered me £40 in working order........ No F**king chance.

Peeps on ebay are still selling them for £200 which is what I will do next month
