    If I had the money I would have bought as many as I could, do you know how big the Mobile phone market is?

    I have checked on E-Bay and there are 10's of 1000's of different mobile phones being sold.
    Not one pink E900 has gone for less than £150 in an auction (not buy it now)

    I urge anybody on this board to do the same thing, there is nothing immoral about making some money by buying and selling, our whole economy revolves around this principle.

    I don't disagree with what you have done hence wishing you good luck.

    Likewise. What shouldn't he/she profit from this? I certainly disagree with the seller putting up the info for sale :mad: but if Grattan have made a misprice it is up to each individual how many they want to buy. I was tempted to buy 2 - one to sell on Ebay but didn't go for it in the end.

    Money-saving / money-making, it's all good as long as it's not illegal!! Er, shops buy stuff cheaper and sell to us for more - he's just doing the same.
    Quidco ~ £3,718 | Greasypalm ~ £354 | Freefivers ~ £45 | Pigsback ~ £260 shopping vouchers + 15 CDs
    Total cashback / freebies / money-saving: 2006 ~ £3,961 | 2007 ~ 3,610 | 2008 ~ £4,159 | 2009 ~ £1,449

    So you have a problem with someone selling the info for £3 and the buyer can make a £70 saving, but you dont have a problem with someone selling for £70 profit with the same information they have gotten from here for free, hmmm cant work that one out myself

    Yes and he/she has obviously read about it on here as they have amended the listing to remove the bad spelling!!

    Maybe OP could edit the posting on page one to add:-
    INFO. NOT TO BE RE-SOLD ON E-BAY OR YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT AND REPORTED - THIS IS MONEYSAVINGEXPERT NOT MONEYMAKINGCONMENONEBAYEXPERT!

    or something like that!;)

    Oh - I have not yet had a Grattan Conf. e-mail but I have just received an e-mail from Samsung mobile - is that just coincidence or maybe because I am getting the phone??:confused:

    Anyone know?

    Dear Lord,
    I pray for wisdom to understand my man, love to forgive him and patience for his moods, because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll beat him to death.:mad: :rotfl: :mad:
