People sometimes pay silly amounts for stuff on ebay. I recently sold a Nec n21i imode cellphone with a broken of antenna for 60EUR. According to phoneshops the antenna could not be repaired. Dunno what you'd want with a halfworking cellphone. :-?

That's so true. I did it too, few months ago I really wanted an MP3 player for my Siemens phone. I ended up buying two :crazy:. Later I sold the second one again at a loss of 40% on EBay.

It was a learning experience anyway :-).

Another thing I've noted is that EBay seems to be swamped with new Hotmailamers with a zero feedback who always end up being non-paying bidders. Is it just me or is the amount of those arseholes really bad now?
