Mobile phone recycling
Just a bit of info for anybody thinking of doing it. I sent a Nokia 5800 off to Envirofone on Tuesday and got £85 in my bank this morning.
I've tried a couple of these companies and the last two I used paid less than they said they would and it took a while =- they argued the phones
weren't in top condition or didn't come with a charger. This company offered the most online and paid exactly what they said they would,
and within 2 days. And no charger/case or extras needed.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

I'm waiting on the courier delivery of a new phone as we speak. I've then got my 5800 available so I may just do the same!
Thanks for the heads up!

I cannot be arsed with ebay anymore, I am going to have to sell a couple of things on there soon and I am not looking forward to it, expecting
I'll be messed about!
I too used the Envirophone to sell an old blackberry a few months ago - They said they'd pay me £48 for it and they paid £45, so close enough in
my book (they were a considerable amount more than others)

I got a quote from one of the recycling companies for a couple of phones I had as spares. They were not exactly modern but worked perfectly and in
excellent condition, in their original boxes with all accessories - they could have been passed as new in fact.
The company offered me £2.78 each - I sold them on eBay for £45 each!
Cheers,
Raz
When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Yeah they are having a laugh - £7.05 for an Orange San Francisco that only came out in September! 
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
