There isn't a field on your spreadsheet for income from Russian Mafia gangs though?

 

[Rob]

LOL

 

[Dave Hester]

Would the winning bidder on ebay not be tracked down and arrested??

 

[Rob]

If you bought a knife would you be tracked down and arrested for stabbing someone?

 

[Jane]

As if it has actually had 2 offers already!!

Arrested for buying a phone? LOL



What Im not sure of is how they then find out what IMEI and IMSI numbers your phone has in order to imitate it in the first place TBH.

Postage: Collection in Person*

Think I'd prefer to post it myself, considering the type of buyer it will attract..

 

[Ash.]

wow as if such a old shitty phone can do that Id love to know who found out that it can do that lol

If it gets lost in the post, I'm sure someone will come to collect something in person.

 

[SamP]

Motherfucker. I bought one as a disposable phone about 5 years ago. Oh well.

 

[aucky]

Person selling it has no soul.

 

[RSsprint]

I just think he's a chancer, his other items are just as overpriced.

Even if it did sell the chances of him ever seeing any money is pretty slim I recon.

 

[AK]

Loved that phone. Had one for years LOL.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Great phone lol. Snake was awesome!


Nice find btw

 

[treemanx]

you'd think some geeks would reverse engineer the software to get it working on another phone or something?!

 

[VeinAST]

These phones have been selling as this price for a couple years. If you have to ask why then it's not something you'd be buying

 

[Andy.]

I've got a boxful of these at work! How do you see where they're made? I'm not sure I have the balls to sell one to mobsters though!

Send it to me, I sell it, I'll take 30% commission.

 

[MarcB]

To check the software you type *#0000#

Keep us all updated on your eBay sales

 

[Andy.]

I'm itching to get back to the office to check now!

 

[pendulumx]

Exactly. If a flaw exists in the mobile network that the software in this prone accidentally exploits, it should be well known and there would surely be exploits available to replicate what this phone does.

Sounds a bit suspicious to me.

 

[Andy.]

There are none in the box. Either they were thrown away at some point, or somebody else has also seen that they are worth ££££.

 

[SimonR.]

Or instead of selling them? Get the software flaw?

 

[Andy.]

It's all a hoax apparently. The Dutch company that put this into the media are fake, and have scammed money from people to get money back from 419 scams apparently.

That's probably also nonsense, but it's a bit more believable than a 10 year old phone selling for £10000 when the market appears to be flooded with them!

 

[DaveW_cup]

Proberbly the only shitty old nokia i never owned.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Can't be, it was on the internet, so must be true, lol

I think what you said is more likely but the market is far from flooded with them, it's apparently only the ones that were made in a certain place, I know a few people that have them but they are the wrong ones.
