I am looking to sell my very mint N95 8gb in the next couple weeks so I have just had a look on the likes of envirofone and mazuma mobile etc.
They are offering semi decent cash for these phones. So what are they doing with them to make money?
I may just send it to them as its easier than messing around with ebay

They offer under market value, maybe they sell them back on ebay

Yeah that seems to be about the average for the mobile recycling sites. Ebay seems to be between £150-175.
I am not certain where the box is though, which isnt ideal when trying to sell. I will have to go hunting for it

they are great IMO.
My n95 8gb is debranded (no warrenty) has an iffy speaker, and developed a software niggle that keeps coming back so im recycling it. No ebay, no hassle, doesnt matter its not 100% etc
Far easier.

I can see the point going down that route if its not 100%.
But mine really is 100% mint, Never crashed on me or anything!
Its getting chopped in for a new iphone 32gb. Means I can retire the old ipod photo and loose one pocket hogging gadget.
Its just the cost of £275 + 18 month contract thats making me think twice
