Right, the Samsung E800 and the Ericsson T29s are now up for sale on Ebay, links are below:
Samsung E800
Ericsson T29s
Feel free to place a bid or three! 
And two of the dead T20s I have I've had some interest in, in fact just waiting for the money for them now, which will add a little more to my fund for the next phone

Ive done this once with succes
I started with a Moto A925 of 3's special price for 35£ and went all the way to a Neonode N1, which was worth about 260£ at that time.
These were the phones I had:
A925>Lg 7100(?)>Nokia 6630>Neonode N1
Oh and btw. The phone I have now (Samsung z500) was paid with the money from the N1 sale later on

Sorry, been a bit slow with an update!
Auctions ended a few days ago, the E800 sold for £46.75 (£17 profit) and so far only sold the T29 of the four Ericssons for £6.66 (awaiting payment via bank transfer). The person who was interested in the two T20s so far hasn't sent me a cheque as no paypal account 
Still increased my money from £40 to over £53! Making slow but steady progress. However, thinking about it, I did have to buy that data ribbon for the E800 and batt for the T29, so actually my profit has been all but eaten up  Buying spares is what eats into any margins here, so if you want to do this, you ideally need to find phones that don't need any money spending on them (like the initial T68i that just needed the mic prongs bending back up!)
Will be looking for my next phone project soon!

I think it is a brilliant idea.
I want to see the conclusion to the experiment, it will be one of Esato's great moments

I'm glad people are interested in my progress, I've been a bit worried about if anyone's interested as I seem to be the only one posting a lot of the time. I guess folk are reading it though!
I'm actually ready to find my next phone or phones now, and have a budget of £53 at the moment, unless that person who was going to send me a £9 cheque for two faulty T20s does send me it!
I also have one fully working T20 yet to sell actually - a little wear on it, locked to Orange but otherwise fine! Phone only though, no charger. If anyone's interested in making me an offer, post here or PM me!

Ive got a K700 in the for sale section. I think looking at eBay auctions I could get more, but I can't be bothered with eBay. So if you wanna make £10+ profit it might be an investment?

What kind of price are you looking for it? Any faults?

No not really any faults, just trying to sell it for my sis as she has got my K750 now I have a W900. Sometimes the joystick is a little stiff, but nothing else I don't think. Im looking for about £45 for it.
