"Used condition" mobile phones at knockdown prices... where to find? Advice welcome!

On_A_Financial_Death_Bed

Many thanks for reading!

I was just curious really, but is there a means (online/shops/etc.) of sourcing USED mobile phones which are of a good model, but which, say, are now 2-3 years old?

Example: the Nokia n95 was a popular phone 2-3 years ago, but, with the advent of the iPhone and HTC mobiles, then, whilst still popular with some people, these phones (n95) aren't as cutting edge as they once were...

... As a result, I wondered whether a good place existed to find used phones of this type, but at a knockdown price? (i.e. Not via eBay, Gumtree, Loot, etc.) They only need to work and the condition is not important really.

If anyone had any ideas then they would be gratefully received.

Many thanks!

If you don't have the buying power, or aren't registered as a company, the main source is eBay and Gumtree. You've got to search for the right keywords, click on the right listings, and respond quickly - an art I have been attempting to perfect for a few years.

I don't think anyone on here will willfully disclose potential suppliers to you. It wouldn't make business sense.

Maybe offer to your friends and family to buy their phones for cash, if they upgrade, as well.

CEX. although I've never found them to be especially cheap.....

£130 for a shabby but working N95..

For some reason I can't link to it directly on here, but go to the home page and search from there

I don't suppose they are cheap; they usually pay far higher prices when I sell the phones I get with new contracts than anyone else.
