PHONE AND IPOD FOR SALE

I guess I have to do the inevitable…after two years, I am being forced to sell my well-loved Nokia 6288 cellphone. Actually, I have two reasons – the first is financial. Well, this is understandable after going to Palawan twice this year (first in Puerto Princesa with my kids and then to Coron with the hubby’s office outing) I guess I’m gonna have to make some sacrifices just to make ends meet again. And with enrolment just around the corner, I know I need to make some difficult adjustments just to ensure I would have some money to pay their tuition and provide for their other schooling needs. Selling my phone is the first option since I could very well live naman with just one phone. I can make do with my Nokia 3100 (even if it’s GSM!). The second reason, is that I needed to let go of the phone even if I had it for just two years because the battery life is getting a bit short and I find myself charging it more often…so rather than spending money (which I do not have!) for a new battery, I’d just sell it na lang.

I decided to post an ad for the Nokia 6288 in Sulit and soon enough I received some texts since I priced it so low at only PhP3,500.00, so that it would sell quickly. I finally settled on one buyer who agreed to meet up with me at Chowking near LTO. Reluctantly, I gave him (or maybe it was her because the buyer seemed like an old gay benefactor to me and he brought along with him a young papa!) the phone with its box and all its accessories. Afterwards, I took down the Phone for Sale ad and posted another ad in Sulit – this time for an ipod shuffle (that the hubby received as a gift). We already have an Ipod Nano (from Papa’s gift/pa-raffle last Christmas) and two Creative music players so we don’t really need it na…and so I decided to sell it for just PhP1,500.00. After a few days, a male student texted asking for a meet-up and since he didn’t know the Chowking at LTO and would be coming from Makati area pa, I agreed to meet-up at CHowking near Kamias naman. So, now I have 5K from the sale of my phone and Ipod shuffle…it would be a great help for my expenses this coming school year…thank you Sulit!
