You can have a read of my little episode regarding a blocked phone and Topscooby just here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=141763
Hopefully Rookwise will be a little bit more honourable than my trader though.
Good luck with it anyway.

This place is getting like a bloody minefield to trade in.
FAR too much scamming going on for my liking,can something be put in place to add a little security,I wonder?
Sorry to hear about this Doctorwa,I`m sure Rookwise will come through. He has always been a good trader on here. |

The only thing I can think of is something like a Paypal account that everytime someone sells or buys a phone on here they put in say £2 which could then be used to contribute to any loss.
Some rules would obviously have to be put in place but I think it could work.
Picking someone to run it would be interesting though

Cracking idea Mike. I,for one would be up for that. You mean like a `insurance` fund or something of that nature?
Just gotta make sure people don`t start `imagining` that they`re phones have been blocked,and don`t start scamming the anti-scamming system!!
Good point about choosing the `treasurer` though!  |

but if we made the person whos phone had been blocked send it to us then we'd know it has been blocked and could also sell it on ebay to raise more money for the pot. |

The only problem with selling the blocked phone on Ebay is that Ebay has banned the selling of blocked phones, unless it's listed with a 'signal fault'!
I've had a few dealings with Rookwise, and had no problems whatsoever. It could just be he's away from his PC for a couple of days or can't check his PMs or Esato for whatever reason. I'm sure he wouldn't deliberately scam you or anyone.

Yup another good idea .. as for selling the phone on thats not too difficult in reality.
The fund would only be for blocked phones though, damaged or faulty phones would be the buyers responsibility once accepted. That's the nature of buying second hand.

Ive bought several things of Rookwise (Andy)
and I can tell you he is a decent bloke.
far to much of this blocked phone malarky is happening,
im not saying Doctorwa has had the phone blocked himself.. but people will do this cos there not happy with the phones to get there cash back!
anyways Andy hope you sort this out

@Doctorwa:
In your startpost you've written : " and now it has come back as blocked reported stolen in in the post i bought it off it plainly says that he got it form the o2 shop himself "
It has come back from where ? Did you sell it on ? What happened to the phone in the 3 months since you've bought it ?
