LOL...."Hardly used" still equals second hand.
Why not just walk into any CNA or Edgars and buy it brand new for R1999?

Not forcing anyone to buy mines. I just said that im thinking about selling it and guys started PMing me. Haven't even put it up for sale on carbonite or anything. If someone wants it and cant find stock in any of the stores let me know, you can have mine. But like kingronb said, you better off just going into a store and buying one.

Because you're looking at getting a device without that whole buy a SIM you don't need but have to RICA anyway (I saw mention that they're on Vodascum, from which I infer that you *have* to get the damn thing) grind. And are saving yourself the angst of dealing with [-]the idiot swine[/-] your fellow citizens (I can't stand it but YMMV) and malls, etcetera. And not getting gypped either.
So where's the downside here?

Tortured prose aside
I don't conflate 2nd hand with automatically meaning a loss of value; in fact, my post makes a case for added value here. But, as you say, it depends on your value system.Tortured prose aside
theres no guarantee how the phone was handled
im not saying it was abused, it might be in perfect condition
but thats the risk you take when buying 2nd hand, as with any risk there should be some reward
in this deal there is none for me
the 5 min it takes to rica and swiping my card for payment is not an issue for me
Let the bidding war begin

Also couldn't manage to update. I installed cm 10. Works well except for the deep sleep. Miui is awesome but need to test it properly still. There isn't a dedicated section on xda yet for this phone so information on custom Roms is quite dependent on translating the Chinese and Russian sites.

Huawei launched there own rom as well. Called emotion ui. It's similar looks very similar to the miui Ron but its official from huawei. It's also jelly bean. But not yet available in English. They have launched it in Chinese though and some Russians have translated to Russian and abit of English. They should officially Launch the English version in 2013 hopefully.
You show me where there is stock and I will buy!

You right. I called a few stores for someone looking for a white one. Mines is black. Couldn't find stock anywhere.
Do you have a link to the CM10 download page?
It started prompting me for an auto update on this last Sunday
