Anyone used cash for phones websites?

Looking at getting rid of my N95 8GB, there's two places that I've found so far that will buy your old phones:

http://www.mazumamobile.com.au - and: http://www.cashforphones.com.au

Just wary about these places, anyone here used them before?

Agreed, go to the extra effort and actually try and sell your old phone.

Oddly they'll pay $123.20 for a E71... Not terrible actually.

Well going rate for an n95 8Gb on ebay is $150, so offering me $128 isn't that bad..

Sorry, at the moment we do not have any handsets listed for buy back for the brand selected.

However we encourage you not to dump it and recycle it by posting it to:

I encourage them to go fuck themselves.

Samsung i900 worthless?!

Who'd have though!

$380 for a 32gb 3GS isn't terrible.

at least these sites are actually paying you for the phone.... you get those other sites which basically take the phone off you for free in the interest of making the world a nicer place, apparantly.

I just submitted a sell order with mazuma mobile. $108.80 for my broken 16gb iPhone 3G, I'm pretty happy with that!

Considered trying to fix it yourself? if its a cracked screen or LCD problem then parts are fairly cheap through dealextreme.com or other similar sites. need to be a bit handy though I guess.

Wow.. I just realised I have heaps of broken / dodgy Blackberry 9000s, Nokia E51s and 6120s here at work... I think I just found a use for them.
