Guest clivec Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 They're starting to appear on eBay, some rip off merchants are buying them, unlocking them for a fiver, and selling them on eBay for around £150 Example: http://cgi.ebay.com:80/Orange-San-Francisc...utoredirect=off
Guest Satans_Hell Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah, they did the same with the LG GT540 Optimus! :lol: Thankfully I got my unlocked one from a sensible person lol
Guest Nik Louch Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 I'd not call them rip-off merchants, if someone pays it then why not charge it?
Guest Modmedia Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 The market will be flooded with them soon! People like that who buy them just to sell annoy me because it means those who want to goto the shop and jusy buy the phone to use have a much smaller chance of getting one!

It wouldn't surprise me that the people selling the phones on ebay for profit are reading these forums, found how to unlock the phone, and know that so many people in other countries are desperate for this phone and are willing to pay a little extra.

True, supply and demand. :lol:
Guest Simon O Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 True, supply and demand. :lol: Exactly. It's all supply and demand, even if I don't fully agree with it.
Guest daniel_owen_uk Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) I normally don't like this, but when I already have one, it just means I got it for a good price :lol: Edited September 30, 2010 by daniel_owen_uk
Guest steviem Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 I don't like it either, but getting another 2, spending a few minutes on unlocking and putting clean images on them, you could sell them and effectively have paid for your handset!
