    Morning guys,

    I am getting offers from people outside of eBay for both my phone and vouchers so might save some cash on fees.

    I have been offered £50 for my broken phone which seems ok as was only expecting bout £30, hes probably the same dodgy geezer CL had.... :p

    Morning Limiss,

    People always try to buy outside of Ebay when it comes to Mobiles, and there often dodgy! £50 is a good price for a broken phone though!

    If it saves me the fees though! He does have 100% feedback on eBay.

    Just corresponding with him at the moment, it might be £45 including p&p now as i can't test if its unlocked but still better than nowt.

    I am sure he will fix it up and sell it on and make £100 as thats what it sells for undamaged but i would have no clue how to fix it so hes welcome.

    Oh hes not actually that dodgy, hes brought it via eBay i just had to amend the listing.

    Sold it for £40 plus £5 P&P but now get paypal fees, oh well safer this way! :p
