Selling a phone, advice please

[5v3d3b0]

Basically I'm selling a phone with no charger, box, cables, anything (found it, can't afford not to sell it. Call me a dick but I don't expect anyone to give me mine if I lose it)
What I'm wondering is: Is it worth getting a cheap data cable and charger from ebay (not originals, cheap copies) and then sell the phone with them, or will the fiver or so that I spend on that not be justified?
I'm thinking not many people would want to buy a phone without the essentials. Any ebay experience to share?
Thanks

Mazuma mobile or suchlike is probably a better option than ebay if you're needing to sell a stolen phone.

Thieving pikeys normally fence their goods at cash converters as far as I can tell.

Theft by finding = you are scum.

Dont be a fucking douche, if you found it in a place, hand it in to reception. If you found it in the street, hand it over to the plod station.
If the person who lost it goes looking for it, the best you can do is give them half a chance.

Better yet if its out of power, borrow a charger from a friend, charge it up, turn it on, and have a wee browse of the phone book. Look for "home", "mum", "the wife", or "dad" or something and let them know you have found a phone.

Just because everyone else is a scumbag doesnt justify you being equally just as scummy

Its not that hard to find the owner of a phone, as its been said just turn the phone on and find a number to call. Mum, dad, home etc.

Theft by finding by the way. If its been reported lost/stolen it will be blocked and you'll just get hassle from eBay.

I left my phone on a bus (fell out on my pocket). Someone handed it into the driver. he phoned my work number and I arranged a time to collect it. I give him a reward for been honest.

At the time I hadn't copied all the numbers off the phone. If I had lost it I would also have lost all my contact numbers.

Do the right thing and hand it in or turn it on and phone someone in the contacts.

Lost a phone twice in a month and both times I was called and it was returned, once by a lady that was struggling with two kids. Try not to be thieving pikey scum, she wasn't.

How about one of you buy it from him and give it back to the owner?

:p

Having got my phone stolen from a car when I was playing football, it's not good to lose a hell of a lot of numbers, texts, videos and pictures.

Maybe you are totally broke and need the money, but sometimes karma does work in mysterious ways, and a phone isn't one of them when it comes to a good thing.

Also don't ever talk about scummy stuff on BcF, or in fact most forums, it's not a good idea.

I found a phone when I was a teen, called the number under home and returned it, ungrateful bitch barely even said thanks.

Nonetheless, most people aren't quite as devoid of social decency and would probably appreciate it being returned.

I've found phones before as well, I've ALWAYS done a search for dirty pictures or videos and had a little nosey before ringing a contact and returning it.
