Re: Ebay: Used Phones and Laptops - a friend bought a used phone from Ebay - $25 ...

Yes I like the feedback form on EBay but have never bought from EBay but have bought lottsa stuff from Craigslist and kijiji. Bought a $1600 set of snow tires barely used (full size car) for $300.00...still had the rubber nibs/ spikes on them. Bought Travertine tiles- 50% cheaper than HD. In regards to buying used smartphones be careful cuz if you buy a stolen one you may not be able to activate it. I own an IPhone and am not impressed and my next purchase would not be Apple and will prob be a notepad because of the larger screen. Also shop around as their are some wickedly fast smart phones out there and the "competitive" war has just begun with price wars next IMHO. My IPhone 3G ($700.00) was free with a contract and what I did was while at the cottage for 5 months made a few trades that will basically cover the cost of my Plan.

Ebay: Used Phones and Laptops - a friend bought a used phone from Ebay - $25 - lists 150 or 200 - works fine. $10 activation and transfer contacts.

Usually I wouldn't consider buying such stuff used, but with Ebay they have the feedback form - so I'm wondering,,,

Wouldn't mind getting a top of the line Blackberry for 20 bucks

Or a laptop that usually sells for,,, - Laptops are much harder to come by then phones though
