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

Personally I sell my Sim Cards through a couple of national small ads websites, one of which has it's own paper, a lot less hassle and you get a better price for your stuff selling in bulk, no fees to pay and the buyer usually collects.

Alternatively if you are looking for the very best price for your cards and you don't mind putting some work in to get it it then car boot sales will get you £2.50-£3.50 per sim card.

I have tried the local paper but as i live in Manchester there is a lot of people already doing this and I did not get one reply. I have also done them on a car boot sale I got an Asian man asking for 10 for £1 and only sold 2 allday I suppose its what area you come from

I actually counted them now I got
88 o2
7 Virgin with a fiver on
31 virgin 400 texts
7 Orange
4 T-Mobile
12 Vodaphone

Any Ideas except ebay how to sell them ?

Okay I am not sure if I can post these links here but if I am in the wrong a moderator can remove them.

Try these free small ad sites https://www.adtrader.co.uk and https://www.freeads.co.uk, that way you get access to buyers across the UK, Ad-Trader also produces a paper that is sold nationally with regional variants, these are well establish and I have had a lot of success with these.

Another on that is slowly taking off is https://www.ibootsale.co.uk, it is an online car boot sale, the pitches are currently free while they build up interest in the site, I have had some success but it has only been running for a few weeks, It has more stuff for sale on it than a lot of the so called eBay rival auction sites.

I used free ads before with no responce what sort of price do you reckon the should be listed as

I usually sell batches of £100 for £75, I will only let the buyer haggle the price down if I am in a hurry to sell, which usually means I am tripping over boxes of sim cards at home :-)

Also consider that with 02 sim cards you get £2.50 credit once registered so you might save yourself a lot of cash on mobile calls if you register the sims and use them instead, I only pay line rental on my home phone, I haven't had to pay for a phone call in over a year :-)

I used about 20 of the virgin £5 ones for the credit, I am on a mobile contract so I get free mins and texts anyway thanks for all your advise
