The re-cycling bit is a scam - if you have a decent old mobile flog it on ebay - these guys work by paying a pittance for phones in europe then selling them on in Africa.

Well they are offering me £108 for my old N95... doubt I would get that for it on E-bay. less hassle than dealing with the usual idiotic ebay user too.

You might get more on ebay but like you say, less hassle = sure winner.

It all depends on the level of effort people want to make, to if the site is worth using.

Call me Mr suspicious but isnt 108 a bit high for a "recycling" company to offer?

by the tits, do you mean the buyers or eBay themselves? :D

I'd just look up average selling price on ebay, if its anything upto a tenner less than what the recyc firm offers, I'll go with the latter.
