Take my BlackBerry... please

Not take as much as buy. I don't normally list things I have for sale (maybe because the last time I sold anything on ebay was probably during the Reagan era?) but this is an emergency. If I don't get this sold, Marty's willpower will break and he will head to AT&T and sign up for the $150 a month plan. As you can imagine, if he does that it won't be pretty.

There are 4 people watching it, so I have a feeling someone is going to snipe it at the last second.

If you are planning to buy a BlackBerry Pearl 8120, this is a great deal. Apparently you can only get them through T-mobile or AT&T, and T-Mobile retails theirs for $349. If you are not planning to buy one, then I would imagine it isn't such a great deal for you. Just sayin'.

Unlocked BlackBerry Pearl 8120

So the fine folks at T-Mobile were gracious enough to allow us to add a third phone line and purchase this lovely phone just weeks before they dumped us for excessive roaming usage. They wouldn't take the phone back but after much arguing they did unlock it for me. Nice, huh? So now, we have decided to just go with pay as you go phones and sell the BlackBerry. And by we, I mean me. My husband is not happy with the decision and is in fact acting like a baby about the whole thing. Thanks T-Mobile.

This is a Blackberry Pearl 8120, that I am told is Titanium color - it looks silverish to me. With it you get the box, phone, charger, USB cable (which I forgot to put in the picture but it is in the box. I promise), leather case, ear buds and all of the booklets we got from T-mobile. Oh, and a CD, too. Heck, I will even send you a copy of the email from T-Mobile with the information on how we unlocked it. It will work with any GSM carrier (I think that means that it uses a SIM card.) Permanently unlocked, so if you already have a phone with a SIM card you do not have to activate it. You just pop the card out of your old phone and pop it in to your new BlackBerry. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. There are no scratches on the screen or phone.

I tried to offer insurance but for some reason can't find the button. So if you want insurance, let me know and I will find out how much it is. If you don't want insurance... well, you should really get the insurance. So just assume that you will buy insurance, too. OK?

Payment must be received within 3 days of auction end. PayPal Payments, only.

If you have any questions please please please email and ask before you bid. I will see if I can get the baby to answer them. If not, I will call T-Mobile and ask. They love hearing from me.
