1 Years contract 200 mins/100 texts pm and £50 profit
Phones for you are currently offering unlocked refurbished Nokia 7280 phones on an O2 £30pm contract and £270 cash back.
http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=139287&NetKey=11
This means that the whole year costs £90.
If you now sell the 7280 on ebay for about £140 you make a profit of £50.
Here are two example of phone I have already sold (mine and my sisters) and one to finish on Wednesday (my mums.)

excellent advertising, should get some traffic to your auction this way!0

If the moderators view this as advertising then they can delete this thread with my blessing.
Most of the 7280's already sell for £140 if unlocked and I don't think this thread will alter that expectation in any way.
I just felt that giving concrete examples of the phones actually selling for the price I claimed would help to allay any fears.0 -
Not bad .. of course going via cashback site will earn you a bit more
In your ebay ad you don't seem to mention they are refurbs !
Postal fees a little confusing is it £2.90 or £4.95
£100 insurance is only availble on standard parcel service not first class
( and why offer £100 when you think value is much higher)
perhaps Special Deivery would be a better optionAny posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0 -
In the description box if states "Condition: Refurbished"payless wrote:In your ebay ad you don't seem to mention they are refurbs !

I noticed the mistake on the £2.90 after I had listed all three.
It costs me £5.35 including selling price insurance (i.e £145) to send them special delivery.
I do this to ensure I get a signiture.
I have received at least 6 emails (via ebay) from people offering me £200+ to send to Nigeria. The last one I just posted the reply "Do you think I am stupid!"0 -
sorry .. missed the bit about "Condition: Refurbished" in the description
IMO if sending special delivery ( which I would recommend) then why not say that .. must admit personally would be put off a sale a bit if the postage/ insurance did not sound rightAny posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0
