[OSX-Users] Re: getting rid of old iphones

[Ben Hodgson]

I’m just about to send off my phone to Mazuma (the ones with the annoying TV
ads), who quoted me £185 for my 16GB 3G iPhone.

It’s quite headily damaged; there’s a crack across the back and the
sleep/wake button has been replaced with a small piece of plastic ruler ever
since it fell off a moving bus (ooops) about 14 months ago.

Not too bothered about the money, so I'll let you know how I get on.
