Ok, I'll admit you got me there (though there are a couple for sale on eBay
as we speak). I should have qualified that the phone had to have some value
when it was new. What was the old computer-related analogy: "junk in, junk
out"? There is the adage that you get what you pay for.

Let's use my last phone as an example, a Motorola V3c, awaiting being sold
as we speak. Here are some already sold ones:

A Telus Motorola V3c. It sold for $167.50. (you have to log in to see
completed items)

Here's a Verizon V3c, recently sold for $94.

These represent my personal experiences, both past and present.
