    lol, i sell simcards as some form of second job and i do ok :). basically...
    it depends on what network the sim cards are? how many you have? are they sealed? do you have any golds?
    Basically o2 are the blatent legends of the world, they sell for most. Orange are a virtual waste of time, hardly any get sold, unless as part of a huge bulk lot. Virgin are doing very well at the mo, way over £1 a sim card.

    I have much advice, but have so much i dnt wana spend ages telling you when to list what untill i know how many you have and of what network etc.
    If you let me know that, and if their sealed, and if you have any good numbers, including 007 786 triples, countdown/ ups etc, then i will PM you or post it here.

    Let me know

    Hi,

    I have about 20 sealed O2 sim cards most of the numbers are nothing special but there a few ones like the following:

    0785* 189 188
    0785* 189 190
    0785* 189 191
    0785* 189 192

    thats as good as they get really.

    Chris:rolleyes:

    right you are, thought you'd have like hundreds lol and you'd have to sell in different sets to make most money. i got the top two valued for you, they said maybe £10 for the top one, and £15 for the second but the rest bulk as a set of whatever you have. you will maybe get, for 20 o2's...max £15 delivered unless you do very well. I will give you a few tips on listing in the morning if you want...

    me and some people i know buy and sell alot, and we pick up the values of numbers. its never a definate guarentee, its what we think they should fetch if listed correctly on ebay, or sold somewhere other than ebay well, and if it reaches its full potential.
    Basically, i have contacts lol :rotfl: :j

    No worries though, its nice to pass on what i know

    lol, id love to sell yours!! i'll see what money i can make you lol

    I would put the o2 on ebay as a bulk of 100. Put the title as...
    '100 brand new o2 sim card bulk job lot gold number' this way you include all the key words people search for when trying to find sim cards. Try and encouragw them to use paypal, as this covers you. Get recorded delivery or special, and the postage will be maybe £15 for the lot.

    If the voda are sealed, depending on how many you have you'll easily find a buyer on ebay or i could sort that out i imagine.

    The orange are virtually useless, put them on as part of a bulk lot with the t mobile and other spares you have. Maybe put 10 of the o2 in with them,or a few of the voda, depending on how many you have.

    Virgin are doing really well, make sure you specify in the auction or wherever you sell that 8 have the free credit and the others i assume have the 400 free texts.

    If you need any other help let me know. If you don't have ebay let me know, i'll see what i can do, see if anyone i know will buy off you
