$26 iPhone 3G 8GB

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about my iPhone 3G 8GB I got off Gumtree for $26! It came in the mail about 2-3 months ago. I had to pay extra because of some problems I had with postage.



                                          Here's some photos of it:

               
          Its running iOS 4.2.1
       (I was planning on jailbreaking it to iOS 6 but I don't know how. If you do know feel free to tell me!)

The volume button is missing which was not mentioned in the ad (Hmm wonder why?) but it is still usable using my nail. Battery life is not very good (that's the reason I did not sell it). I did have a discovery at my local tip in a bin that I always look in. It was a iPhone 3GS box! I was staring at it in shock. Two things were going though my head: is it in there? is the box empty? Well when I looked inside... nothing just the stickers and manuals but I tried to put it up for sale on eBay but I got no bids (I had the iPhone in the box too). I have some more eBay listings up (about 40) at this link: \
https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/gamerbay-electronics     (some are my parents (like coin auctions) )

And I have some Apple items too: iPod touch 1st gen (has problems), and iPod Nano 2nd gen 4GB blue, And iPod touch 6th gen 32GB space grey (my main iDevice), and my iPhone 3G 8GB.

1948 'Bruce D Mann' Watch

Hello Everyone! This time I will be writing about my 1948  'Bruce D Mann' watch!



                                                           
                                                  This is my Watch & Nokia E71


                                                           This is how i got it:

It was a Sunday, and my Dad an I were looking for something to do, because an Anzac parade was on and they had blocked the roads off so the only way to get home was an 10-15 minute drive AROUND the bridge. My Dad spotted a sign about a clear out nearby so we headed that way (also the way home to) when we went there I was surprised about the location (a butter factory) and when we went inside I was VERY excited because there was antiques and boxes of: books, glass cups, cheap water-proof phone bags, and brick-a-brack. I found a Nokia E71 in a phone bag and I wanted it but I thought I could not keep it because it was part of the box (the box was like $15) but later he gave it to me for free! 
I loved the place (but soon loved it more you will find out if you keep reading) Dad and I were both looking at a box of card games and pottery and junk when I saw a watch band I read the back of it and guess what it said...18KT Gold! I showed it to my Dad and he said: 'get it' so I asked how much for the box and he said $10. So I bought it home checked the computer (to see the price it was worth) and found nothing at all on the web. I kept it for a while and then FINALLY listed it so it was out of the way for me. Back to the subject, I found the 1948 Bruce D Mann watch inside the box and i was amazed to find out it was 70 years old! I tested it and to my surprise it worked! Later I was walking around trying to look for more stuff when i got into a conversation with the owner of the stuff in the boxes when he said: ''Do you like laptops'' and I said: ''yes!'' So he said: ''I have a couple of laptops around the back, you can have if you want'' So I was super happy about that. (and one of them is the laptop on my introduction post) The laptop still works fine but I didn't know that until a few days later when i found the charger for it in a free stuff box. 


                        So That's The Story On How I got My 
                     
                                              1948 Bruce D Mann Watch...
