Sold my iPhone 2g for US$270 to some random guy on the street! It was weird how it went down. Initially I had gone into a 2nd hand electronics shop and they had offered me $270 but when I brought the phone back they said they could only give me $212. Naturally I was pissed, having traveled a fair way to go get the phone and bring it back to the store.

There was not much I could do, and I basically just wanted to get rid of it for cash so I agreed to the $212 and the store took the phone in for testing. They told me to come back in 30 min while they tested and then they'd give me the cash. After I left the store some random guy said something to me on the street and I just said 'No thanks' and walked on. I thought he was trying to sell me something. I hadn't noticed him in the store but he apparently overheard the conversation and said 'No, I want to buy your phone'. So it was a bit of a win/win. If this guy had bought the phone though the shop they would have charged him $400+, and I managed to sell it to him for $270.

Bye bye 2g iPhone. I will miss you.
