Basement storage, fucks everything ferrous right up. That place in Leeds that deals in Norton rotaries is the same. From time to time the river floods the basements.
The shop counter looks just as it did when I used to queue four deep at it on a Saturday morning 40 years ago. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Six of the blokes you queued up with are still in there waiting! I go past the place every day, old Len would weep, if he was still alive, to see how it is now. Most of the decent stuff will just rust away. Boxerboy
ginge took a blunt brush and painted... Heh. I just sent 3 phones off to one of those phone recycling places. Less money than flogging them through EBay or suchlike but a **** load less hassle.
I still can't understand why anyone has any phones that are worthwhile sending off. I've got quite a few old handsets myself, but not a single one of them is worth even a fiver to any of the commercial outfits.
And here's me looking for a 'new' phone (but not an 'old' one). -- R100RT Aprilia Pegaso 650 IE "The Flying Mythos" Formerly: James Captain, A10, C15, B25, Dnepr M16 solo, R80/7, R100RT (green!) www.davidhowardjeweller.co.uk
Yep, but it was one of the best back then. I was a regular there back in the 70s although Hanks on Slade Road was my "local".
most are not worth re-selling for re-use as phones but according to http://www.mobilemuster.com.au/quick_facts 90% of the content is recyclable, including significant quantities, when aggregated, of precious metals.

Some years ago, there was some serious flooding in a certain London dealership's street. And the dealer's cellar copped it. Said dealer took the opportunity to offload all the useless parts and accessories he'd had sitting, unsold, on his shelves for decades by simply throwing them down the stairs.... Allegedly.
Ace took a blunt brush and painted... Out of the three phones I'm sending off, one is worth £115, the other £30 and the last £15. I do have two more but like you have found, they're worth sod all so I might as well keep them just in case I lose my main phone. I change phones regularily which doesn't help.
If they're worth that much then there's clearly nothing wrong with them, particukarky the first one. No, I didn't find that. I simply inferred it. It's abvious to me that this is just cashing in on some folks' desire to get the latest and greatest when their existing phones are perfectly good. Why? I mean, once every couple of years, by which time I accept that technology has moved on, I can understand. But if you have that many around you're clearly doing it much more often than that. The ukp115 one in particular must be this year's model. Did you make such a poor buying decision that it didn't do what you expected, or what?
The £115 one is a Blackberry Curve 8900. Bought it last year (June IIRC) outright from EBay as a stop gap until the iPhone 3GS came down in price. I find that smart phones are more toys (in that you can play with them) / gadgets and do a heck of a lot as well as being a simple phone. The BB was rather crap in that respect, the iPhone a hell of a lot better. Did you ever have a PDA? If so did you ever just install interesting stuff on it to play with? And after a while the interesting, new software was written for the latest generation of PDAs with more memory and CPUs, so a better one would keep on being "a fun thing to play with"? So you upgraded it? Smart phones are simply a PDA with a phone and suffer from the same upgrade- itis. Maybe its just geeks or gadget fans that do this
