sold broken phone on ebay

Hi

I washed my daughters phone in the washing machine (by mistake obviously not on purpose :-b ). I tried drying it out but it wouldn't work other than when on charge. I went on ebay to look for another one for her but noticed one was for sale as "Spares or Repair". it fetched £19.

So we put hers on clearly stating it was broken and it sold within a few hours for £20. The phone cost £60 new so I was well pleased, especially as I thought it was only fit for the bin.

So perhaps before throwing your broken mobiles away this might be another option worth considering.

BTW I got an internet deal on a brand new phone, same model for £40 with a further £7.50 Quidco cash back which together with the £20 for the old phone has meant our outlay was only about £15 taking account of the ebay seller fees. V happy:j
