People who ebay need to look at how much they really make i.e after fees (both paypal and ebay). People often sell on ebay without working out what they are really making. I have seen these go for prices that would mean a few pence profit, when you take into account time an effort its a loss.

People get round this by charging a low cost for the item (ie 1p) but high postage (no ebay fees on postage)

I sell mine thru the local freebie paper for £7.50 each.

Even if I only sell one third then I am still doing well.

some people come round for one and buy an extra one for the missus/girlfriend since they will never get the chance of two consecutive numbers.

slow but profitable.

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.

I wonder about this too!

Why don't you just give them to a charity shop or someone who is in more need of the money than you are.

That's a good idea, but charity shops usually have a rules against selling certain items. I know for a fact that Cancer Research UK can't sell electrical items (regs on safety).

A better idea might be to sell them on eBay/in paper/in pub and donate the profits to charity. Most of the time charity shops end up getting very little for items compared to their actual market value.

I sell mine to a local phone shop, get £4 each for them and he usually buys them in bulks of 20.

£80 a time gets a bit of shopping in, plus the steady stream of people wanting them at £5 each.

Do you say that you got them for free when he asks or what!?

I got an Orange one but it doesn't work in my phone which was bought from Vodafone. Any ideas?
