In the narrow and busy streets of shopping districts, you’ll find more than a few of these itinerant traders. As cellphone is part of fashion these days, some are very eager to get rid of their (maybe only 3-month old) cellphones and be seen with the latest models. So this is how these traders get into business; they buy used cellphones and resell them, mostly in Mainland China, for profits. (PS. in this photo, the woman is the buyer…)

Mark — I don’t know the price but I think it depends on how “new” your phone is…
To me, my cellphone is a tool, so mine really isn’t the fashionable kind.
