Even a faulty ZTE MC801A has been bid up to £58, and the auction still has 20 hours to go.

Can anyone confirm if these are correct, and whether I've missed any.

Keep an eye on buy it now prices.
Also three are notoriously difficult when it comes to unlocking I wouldn't trust them to unlock it for free.

Or maybe it already is?
I don't know how pushy they are to get them back, but that unit is almost certainly stolen, even if the contract expired and 3 never asked for it back.
Is it locked? Who knows?

It works a treat.
Unlocked? Maybe...
I've bought Vodafone routers off eBay and got them unlocked by submitting a form on Vodafone's website, so maybe this is also possible with 3?

I've been keeping an eye on the bidding on this one, although I suspect it will end up going way above £100.
