Accumulation of free sims - what to do with them?

Anyone got any good ideas of what to to with my accumulating pile of 02, orange and virgin free sim cards that I have sitting in my kitchen now that the prices on ebay are so low its not even worthwhile putting them on there unless you get a golden no!

    I sold a few at a car boot sale for around £3 each. Worth a try for people who don't have internet/ebay access. I think they usual sell in the shops for around £7
  • I've bundled all mine up and sold them for £25 last week on ebay. I found selling them as a job lot got a bigger return.

    Daft question peterdoherty, but why apply for so many if you didn't want or need them, and don't know what to do with them.

    Sometimes I wonder at the freebie mentallity where people will like lemmings en-masse apply for something they don't want or need simply because it's free. The result being that those few people who may genuinly have wanted it, miss out.
