hie guys just needed some advice i want to sell a n95 which is unlocked sim free with the box and al and i have used it for about 5 months whats the best site i can sell my phone thanxs

Normally I'd say eBay, but there are so many fakes on there that your authentic one might not get seen.

Just been looking at ebay as im selling my N95 as soon as it comes back from Nokia for the 4th time.

I have noticed that they are going for �1000 or more what gives ? Is there something im missing or are people realy that desperate to get an N95 ?

Nope sorry.

There were three N95 1 Nokias all making over �1000 about 3 hours ago.

Mind you most the other auctions are still ending at the �200 mark. Startiung to wounder if theres an idiot out there wrecking bids.

Just check the feedback of the buyer. It's a scam, an idiot or both.

TBH The only way I'd sell my phone on ebay is BuyItNow with Immediate Payment requirement. This way you make sure that you won't waste a week just to have a idiot winning at the end and never paying for it. And you won't have to claim the ebay fees you paid etc.

Aye I know what you mean. When I was at Uni I wanted a T-shaped microphone for my MD player so I could use it as a dictaphone during my lectures. I found plenty of Sony branded ones but, for the three that I bidded for, the same guy would come along and outbid me at the last minute. I gave up and low and behold I got "second chance" buys on all three. I picked one and bought it. It's been a great little microphone at a good price (£25 instead of £70 RRP) but it's somewhat suspect I think.

That happens all the time now on eBay unfortunately. You can try and limit these by putting the couple of rules on your sale such as blocking bidders with F/B of -1 etc. That just blocks the scammers with only one brain cell though.
