Absolutely, this is why I'm pointing out that various extras are
included. I should also state that current N96 prices on Ebay are
anything from ~140 (for a fairly battered example with no extras) to
~380 (for a new and unlocked one), so the price I was suggesting is not
unfair.

Yes. Don't advertise on a *discussion group*.

a) It's against the charter, as you have been told. It annoys others and
is unlikely to sell.

b) Discussion group adverts usually attract followups saying why you'rev
charging too much, and giving alternatives.

Better to try ebay, ebid or similar.
