Even less at cex on the highstreet although these are traded in units but come with a full 12month warranty.

Your link leads to a shop that sells returned units to carfone warehouse. I tried to buy from carfone warehouse online for that amount. Aftger two days of failed deliveries and 2 weeks to get my money back i wont be going down that route again !

Got mine from cex. Traded in a nokia 8800 arte and paid £90 shortfall.

There are tonnes of these devices being sold in for £130 at Cex. I find that sad.

Good condition is £135. There are lots of these

Poor condition is £111, just needs at least three small marks anywhere on the device including the screen. Not so many of these.

Pretty lame after 7 months no matter what people say about the price of tech devices dropping rapidly...

But of course I think they are worth more than this but its just a shame that that's what people think is acceptable.

That's what the seller of the device is getting. That is my point.

In which case they will give you £144 in good condition.
iPhone 3GS buy price in good condition is £177 locked.

Still they have to make their margin. I use them a lot but always use trade value.

True but their sell prices and trade prices are usually somewhere in between their value on personal selling sites such as avforums.com

e.g I can get a 3G s in good condition for £220 or less from avforums.

As such they provide an interesting barometer of the value of products.
